Medicine Ball Cleans
Learning the Olympic lifts is for too many athletes a shock of frustration and incompetence.
"When examining the reasons offered for not teaching the Olympic lifts we cannot help but suspect that the lifts’ detractors have no first-hand (real) experience with them. We want to see someone, anyone, do a technically sound clean or snatch at any weight and then offer a rationale for the movement’s restricted applicability. Were they dangerous or inappropriate for any particular population, we’d find coaches intimate with the lifts articulating the nature of their inappropriateness. We do not."

Exploring the Relationship between Micronutrients and Athletic Performance:
A Comprehensive Review of Sports Medicine Literature 
This systematic review explores how micronutrients—vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants—affect athletic performance, emphasizing that no single nutrient is most important; rather, a balanced intake is essential for energy, recovery, and overall function. The authors reviewed peer-reviewed studies published between 1950 and early 2023, focusing on competitive athletes across a variety of sports to assess the impact of micronutrient intake on performance and recovery.

More fraudulent history of cancer risk assessment
The US National Academy of Sciences Biological Effects of Atomic Radiation (BEAR) I Genetics Panel used falsified data greatly exaggerating hereditary cancer risks
The 1956 BEAR Genetics Panel was a report generated by a committee of geneticists under the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, to assess radiation exposure risks. The report became foundational for U.S. regulatory policy, and cemented the Linear No-Threshold (LNT) model— the idea that any amount of radiation, no matter how small, increases the risk of genetic damage in a linear fashion.

The Curious Lessons of Calorie Restriction
What can we learn about aging well from the "potential downsides" of living hungry?
Gary Taubes explores the historical debate between calorie restriction (eating less overall) and carbohydrate restriction (limiting carbs regardless of calories). He highlights that early calorie-restriction research, such as the Biosphere 2 experiment, had unintentional carb restriction due to the food mix, muddying results and revealing that benefits like improved metabolism may stem more from reduced carbs than reduced calories alone.
