BREAKING: Gavin Newsom bans sales of certain "muscle-building supplements" to Californians under 18, potentially including whey protein & creatine.

Note that whey protein is just protein from, well, milk whey, and creatine is a naturally-occurring substance found in meat.

These supplements -- protein and a substance made up of three amino acids -- may cause dangerous "side effects," says the guy whose made narcotics legal (or just a misdemeanor offense) throughout the state.

New California law will restrict sales of some muscle-building supplements to minors

Legislation covers over-the-counter diet pills and weight-loss dietary supplements, taking effect Jan 1

Energy drinks, pre-workout supplements linked to heart attacks, study finds

Gavin Newsom has signed legislation banning the sale of some "muscle-building supplements" to Californians under 18 years of age.

The legislation (AB 2030), which was signed on Sept. 28, covers over-the-counter diet pills and dietary supplements for weight loss or muscle building. It will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2027.

"Nonprescribed, medically unapproved products may cause dangerous side effects," the governor's office said in its announcement. "Products can be mislabeled or contaminated with substances such as steroids."

Any chance that heroin, which is not a misdemeanor offense, might have some impurities in it, too?

By the way, I really doubt that "steroids" are being mixed into these very common, very safe supplements.

California's law restricts minors' access to supplements marketed for muscle building -- specifically, those that are "labeled, marketed or otherwise represented for the purpose of achieving weight loss or building muscle."

Ah, there's the problem.

Courts may consider whether a product contains "creatine, green tea extract, raspberry ketone, garcinia cambogia or green coffee bean extract," the legislation states.

Possessing cocaine in small quantities is a misdemeanor, but we have to worry about green tea extract, aka "caffeine."

The release cites research indicating that nearly one in 10 adolescents have used such products.

Wow, that many? One in ten?

What a crisis.

The American Herbal Products Association, based in Maryland, released a statement opposing the law.

"Lacking any scientific justification, AB 2030 casts a shadow over safe, beneficial products," said Robert Marriott, the association's vice president of regulatory and government affairs, in the statement.

California: "WHEY PROTEIN IS TOO RISKY FOR KIDS!!"

Also California: "Yes actually 14 year old girls are old enough to consent to elective mastectomies."

Dr. Sigrid Wolf, a pediatric sports medicine physician at Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, recently addressed the use of creatine products among teenagers, stating that evidence of benefits is limited.

Creatine is the most studied and most-used fitness supplement in the world. There is no question remaining about its efficacy.

"In some cases, they might even be dangerous," wrote Wolf, who is a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics' sports medicine committee, in an article published on HealthyChildren.org, the American Academy of Pediatrics' parenting website.

"Creatine can come with negative side effects such as weight gain, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea."

By "weight gain," they mean muscle gain, which must be stopped.

As for diarrhea: Creatine can definitely cause that, and I've been suffering from it for a year. But I just fixed it: And the fix is as dumb and obvious as you'd guess: Fiber. I was getting almost zero fiber on a low-carb diet, and that combined with creatine was giving me GI issues. Fiber fixed it immediately.

The left is convinced that physical strength and fitness are right-wing -- they are, but just because the left is physically and mentally unhealthy and actually cultivates physical and mental infirmity as virtuous -- and they want to men weak because they believe, correctly, that weak men join the leftist herd.

Research article

Physical strength as a heuristic cue of political conservatism

Mitch Brown, Donald F. Sacco, Aaron W. Lukaszewski, Ryan E. Tracy

Physically formidable men are motivated to pursue strategies to acquire resources and status through direct competition and the promotion of hierarchical social organization. In service of these priorities, these men support social policies favoring the use of aggressive bargaining and hierarchy-maintenance strategies. Given these associations, we hypothesized physical strength may function as a heuristic cue of political conservatism. Participants in four unique U.S. samples assessed the political orientation of men who varied in physical strength and musculature, considering various facets of what constitutes conservatism. Physically strong men appeared more conservative to perceivers. Neither type of conservatism (social versus fiscal) nor presence of wealth cues moderated effects. Perceivers further regarded liberty as most central to strong men's morality.

Note that study is about how people perceive strong men. It doesn't say anything about whether strength is correlated with conservatism. (But it is, of course.)

The point is, the left hates strong men. Too difficult to dominate.

What are your theories on why gym culture is so rightwing
Upvote

2y ago

someone asked a similar question about gun ownership in r/MARXISTRA but the answer is the same right-wing culture is self-actualization. that applies to everything, it's essentially ingrained that nobody is gonna do anything for you so you need to make your own money, pave your own way, and defend yourself by any means necessary. as a result, they're probably more likely to have the income and the desire to follow through with a gym routine/proper nourishment/supplemental aid/training. Does this mean you can't do it? Not at all, contrary to what some may tell you, going to the gym is one of the cheapest (and best) hobbies to have. Paying $20-30 for a membership for what means essentially unlimited access to equipment and sometimes training as well, along with the chemical pick up me of endorphins released during a good work out. This is all to say, you can theorize why gym culture is so right wing all day but if you want to change it in a meaningful way, the best way is to step in the gym first

...

That same philosophy lead me down a dark path when I was a young teen first getting started in the gym. I'm happy I made it out.

Ze "made it out" of the gym.

...

I'm surprised no one else said it because it seems highly obvious to me, but I think it is because of the associations between traditional masculinity and physical power. The right wing is obsessed with masculinity and masculinity is traditionally associated with strength and violence. I think that this intertwines with the individualism aspect that everyone has mentioned to produce an unfortunately right wing, and largely misogynist fitness culture.

A classic:

Some other health items:

Rebuilding lost muscle is easier than building it in the first place.

Muscle memory may also involve adaptations within skeletal muscle fibers themselves.

Unlike most cells in the body, skeletal muscle fibers contain multiple nuclei, known as myonuclei. These nuclei help regulate cellular activity, including the production of proteins necessary for maintaining and developing muscle tissue.

During resistance training, muscle fibers may acquire additional myonuclei through the activity of satellite cells, which are specialized cells involved in muscle repair and adaptation.

Some research suggests that these acquired myonuclei may persist even after muscle fibers decrease in size during periods of inactivity.

If retained, they could potentially support a more rapid hypertrophic response when resistance training resumes.

Something to keep in mind as all of us Nearly 29-year-olds lose a percentage or two of muscle every year.

Also good for the Nearly 29: Sunlight.

It's good for your brain.

Less Than 42 Minutes of Bright Light Daily Is a Stronger Predictor of Dementia Than Obesity, Study Finds

Each morning, when we open our eyes to a bright new day, our brain's 'master clock' synchronizes our body and its rhythms with the Sun.

The more light that we are exposed to on a daily basis, the better it may be for our brains in the long run.

According to recent research among nearly 88,000 older adults, those who are exposed to more daily light are less likely to develop dementia over the next decade or so.

The longer the exposure to light, either natural or artificial, the stronger the association.

In fact, spending at least 42 minutes a day exposed to bright light (5,000 lux or more) was associated with a 17 percent lower relative risk of dementia.

That's a better predictor of dementia than six other traditional risk factors, including obesity, alcohol consumption, air pollution, and hearing loss.

For 'night owls', the association was even stronger. Greater daytime light exposure was linked with up to a 41 percent lower risk of dementia.

The findings, published in General Psychiatry, support the idea that light-based interventions hold promise for people at risk of cognitive decline.

"These findings position daytime light exposure as a novel, robust and measurable indicator of dementia risk," write the study authors, led by researchers at Guangzhou Medical University in China.

...

I keep meaning to get ahead in my posts so I can go out for a walk/run at 2pm but I keep falling behind and not getting out until sunset. I gotta do something about that. There is no reason to not get double the bang for the buck.

AIs prove themselves much better at diagnosis than generalists. But note, that's generalists. They don't say how well specialists diagnose within their specialties.

Some good news: New cancer treatment eliminated brain tumors in every mouse it was tried on.

An experimental immune cell therapy has completely eliminated an aggressive childhood brain cancer in mice, succeeding where conventional treatments have struggled. Developed by scientists at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), the approach uses genetically engineered CAR-T cells that activate their cancer-fighting receptors only after entering the brain.

The treatment, called B-SYNC, cleared tumors in every mouse tested across two models of diffuse midline glioma (DMG). It also provided lasting protection, with treated mice rejecting a second introduction of cancer cells nearly seven weeks later. Researchers are now preparing for human clinical trials that could begin as early as April 2027.

So: Any health improvements?

I've been eating keto and walking/running most days. I want to get back to lifting but my darned shoulder never healed and I guess I'm going to have to see a doctor about it and do physical therapy.

15 Grok on the FAA thing.

Yes, this is verified and real.

On the afternoon of November 13, 2026, the FAA’s Air Traffic Control System Command Center issued Advisory 111 ordering a nationwide ground stop for all U.S. airports, effective roughly 3:53 p.m. Eastern and listed through about 11 p.m. Eastern (until further notice / 0400Z).

The official language cited “extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety,” directing that all departing traffic remain ground-stopped while inbound international flights would be handled case-by-case. Planes already airborne were allowed to land.

The stop was triggered by widespread air-traffic-control radio frequency outages (a “rolling frequency outage” affecting multiple centers, with earlier localized equipment/comms issues reported at places like Chicago O’Hare and Midway).

This is an extremely rare event—the first nationwide ground stop since the 2023 NOTAM system outage (itself the first since 9/11). Reports from Flightradar24, major news outlets, and the FAA advisory itself confirm the order; the situation was developing in real time and the precise duration could change as frequencies were restored.

21 I had to quit taking creatine when I was weight-training for rugby, because of a side effect... my probation officer told me it was increasing my water-weight and making my UAs hot because of dilution. I couldn't piss it all out in time for a random test.

That's literally the only unpreventable negative side effect I've ever heard of from creatine, and it's not even health-related.

The other (preventable) one is that if you take it and then don't work out enough, it'll cause accelerated weight gain - again, because of water-retention.

40 As someone in the physical therapy domain (IT, not a therapist), I encourage everyone to get checked out before embarking on any kind of exercise regimen.

Especially as you approach 29, it gets dangerous to throw your body into new activities with the same vigor you did at 25, or 26, even.

Structural weaknesses increase the likelihood of injury, and building up to a specific exercise activity is going to help. (In my case, my lower back and hips are stiff from sitting, so I need to get those working before I do anything else.)

74 Make sure the creatine you take is Creapure. Do not take the Chinese shit. Formerly great brands like Thorne no longer use Creapure and when you call them on it they give you a bunch of babble.
Posted by: Marcus T at November 13, 2026 04:26 PM (8pCF2)

My mom used to work for a guy who sold a lot of nutritional supplements.

When I was 19 or 20 he hired me for a weekend to dispose of like 60% of his inventory in a landfill.

He'd done an independent lab analysis, found that enough of his Chinese products were contaminated that he trusted none of them. Tossed everything and replaced it with US-manufactured stuff at huge expense.

This wasn't prompted by a lawsuit or anything. Just thorough, ethical business.

If it's something you put in your mouth, don't buy from China.

That goes for you, especially, Mr. Huang.

I want to get back to lifting but my darned shoulder never healed and I guess I'm going to have to see a doctor about it and do physical therapy.

About twelve years ago I ended twenty years of shoulder pain with gymnastic rings. I didn't do anything fancy. I just worked slowly up to ring support holds lasting a minute over the course of several weeks.

I then fooled around with dips, pushups, inverted rows, and pullups on the rings until I got busy with work and drifted away as I got fatter and drunker. The terrible shoulder pain never came back.

I've been carnivore for the last four years. I've been doing cardio and calisthenics daily since I lost a ton of weight.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said there is a communications issue affecting the regional air traffic control centers that direct planes between airports nationwide. He said FAA technicians are investigating. This is the first nationwide ground stop since January 2023 when a key FAA computer system malfunctioned. Before that the last time had been after the Sept. 11, 2011 terrorist attacks."

The range safety chopper is still in the air. I believe Go/No Go for propellant load is in a few minutes, so if they start loading I'll assume the launch is a go.

159 They sent an email several months ago to everyones' AOL email address.

That might explain why Old Yeller was upset about his AOL account.

160 Better than landing at your destination then having to sit for hours on the aircraft which is parked on a taxiway because there are no gates available.

This issue is going to have a big impact downstream.

161 ASCI? I thought the FAA systems were written in assembly language and input on punchcards.
