How do you account for yourselves? Just stand up, your name, and your academic background? Write it down. How can you be so wrong on the most primary nutrient (glycogen) the body requires every day? What school did you not learn this from?

Go ahead ... list your creds... all in the interest of "discussion".

Malmo, intelligence matters here, and critical thinking skills. It is bizarre to me that you dismiss this. Plenty of “experts” are wrong often. Or they give dubious advice. I would have thought you were smart enough to grasp this? I guess you at least must be one who is aware of man-made contributions to climate change, since you have no expertise in the area and you always defer to experts?

This is such a straw man. None of these people criticizing his diet are saying that he shouldn't have carbs after exercising. They're complaining about synthetic ingredients that could potentially pose health risks.

To be clear, I think a lot of people are way too scared of synthetic ingredients. The evidence that they're dangerous in the quantities most people consume is limited...but it isn't absent. The FDA just banned Red Dye 3 because it is linked to cancer in rats, and it has long been banned in other countries. It's entirely possible that other synthetic ingredients have as-yet unproven risks. It isn't "misinformation" to argue that people should reduce their consumption of those kinds of foods. So while I love me some Cinnamon Toast Crunch after a morning workout, I completely understand why some people think it's safer to stick to oatmeal with honey.

Not only do you not know biochem, but you don't understand what a straw man argument is. This is as straightforward as it it. Kesslers expert advisors are recommending that he get a sugar/carbohydrate snack immediately after training. Don't make it into something else it isn't.

Those synthetic names have a chemical name, therefore they = BAD. THEY MUST BE BAD.
