    Cardio and Muscle Loss

    Quoted: Sure, it's possible for you to lose muscle from doing too much cardio, but it's highly unlikely. Shying away from cardio completely because you think you'll lose muscle is a huge mistake. Only excessive amounts of cardio would cause you to lose muscle because over-training tips the scale towards the catabolic side. It's difficult to generalize and pinpoint one specific amount as too much, but I think it's safe to assume that just about anyone could do up to 45 -60 minutes of cardio a day, 6 to 7 days a week without losing any muscle - as long as the proper nutritional support is provided.

    Could vibration keep a beer belly at bay?

    Quoted: "The vibration changes the fat distribution. We're not sure what the mechanism is. The stem cells aren't getting to the fat depots," said Clifford Rosen, one of the mice study's authors and an osteoporosis clinician and researcher at The Jackson Laboratory and at the Maine Medical Center Research Institute in Scarborough.

    New Scientist Breaking News - Why fast foods are bad, even in moderation

    More proof that all calories are not created equal.

    Quoted: Monkeys fed a diet rich in trans-fats – commonly found in fast foods – grew bigger bellies than those fed a diet rich in unsaturated fats, but containing the same overall number of calories. They also developed signs of insulin resistance, which is an early indicator of diabetes.
