This article disturbs me

[Lamont Burns]

Last paragraph... bullshit?

So what exactly is in the drink and what's the science behind it?

"Green tea with ECGC, ginger, a little bit of guana, caffeine, b vitamins, vitamin c, calcium, chromium. If you drink Celsius 20 minutes before you exercise you are going to burn twice as much fat, and gain 50% more muscle," Janice Haley, the founder of Celsius, said.


I don't use NOS or any of that other shit, but I did get free samples of some non-sugar energy drink with my last protein buy. Anyone use those prior to working out?

I think the samples I got are called: "The worlds most extreme energy drink" or something. EXTREME!

Claims seem shady, no?

I won't drink caffeinated beverages before I work out because it makes my muscles too tight. I would say that Janice Haley is full of crap.

What? You want to have active tightness controlled by your own muscle tone (this term is tone used in the correct sense), but not at all in a passive sense. Surfsatwerk, I'm sure, means tight in the passive sense - ie limiting ROM and such.

The supplement industry is so loosely regulated...no, make that unregulated, that they can take virtually ANYTHING, bottle it, and make any type of nonspecific health claim (e.g. "Helps improve stamina and concentration"). Many even go as far as making outlandish pharmaceutical claims (e.g. "cures Alzheimer's disease"), which are explicitly prohibited by the FDA, but face it, the FDA doesn't have the manpower to police all the companies - and they know it.

99.9% of times claims are scientifically unsupported, and even then they are loosely, loosely supported.
