Are you aware soy and beer contain some of the highest levels of fluoride?
That’s right folks!
Fluoride is in nearly everything we consume. I’ve been educating people for several years regarding the harmful effects of soy. This is just one more reason not to eat soy or foods such as eggs, poultry, beef and milk which are supplemented with soy.

Are you aware of the “WARNING” label on toothpaste containing fluoride?
It states NOT to allow children under 6 years old to use it without being supervised. The reason for this warning is because if they eat it, they can get very sick.
This is the first sign something isn’t right about ingesting fluoride.

Are you aware based on data in a 2003 USDA/FDA report, in comparison to raw milk, there are 515 times more illnesses from listeria mono due to deli meats and 29 times more illness from listeria mono due to pasteurized milk?
These facts come from the same FDA who spends millions of our tax dollars to raid and shut down raw milk farmers who follow & obey state regulations regarding the safe sale of raw milk!
If you want better health, faster strength gains and faster weight loss, drink raw milk.

Are Chickens Really on Anti-Depressants?
July 11, 2012
by Stephen R. Santangelo
In a recent study, nearly every sample of commercially raised chicken had traces of the arsenic, pain killers and anti-depressants.
First, let’s examine why arsenic is in the chickens. I have written about this issue in the past, however, it does need to have attention brought to it again. Farms administer arsenic to chickens so the flesh becomes an appetizing shade of pink that consumers find enticing. Back in June of 2011, the FDA gave the pharmaceutical giant, Pfizer, 30 days to discontinue selling Roxarsone, which is the substance that the arsenic in which is found in the chickens. Yet, in June of 2012, one year later, this carcinogen is still showing up in commercially raised chickens...Read More

Flexible Strength

by Stephen R. Santangelo
Flexibility and strength are 2 components which work in unison for optimum athletic performance.
That sounds rather cliché; however, let’s take a closer understanding of how these 2 important training methodologies work.
The number 1 mistake in any stretching routine regardless if it’s static stretching or dynamic is the missing component of strength. Most training programs use stretching simply to warm up prior to a workout or cool down after a workout. These of course are good actions. What is most needed in a general dynamic warm up is to strengthen the muscle while it is being stretched...Read More

I have no doubt Aston Eaton will be athlete of the year for 2012. To win and beat a field of very talented athletes one must perform faster, stronger, higher and further than all the other competitors. Over the past 100 years, since American Jim Thorpe won the event at the 1912 Olympics, decathletes have long been revered as the best all around performers and rightly so...Read More

How Does Strength Work?
April 11, 2012
by Stephen R. Santangelo
Books have been written for years on strength and research is never ending regarding what is the ‘ideal’ strength program. However, I would like to highlight the most important aspect of any strength program because strength is based upon maximum load and perceived effort. It can be sport specific or it can be conditioning strength.
The stronger the muscle, the less it has to contract to produce a given amount of force (deVries, 1980). Strength allows the athletes to increase their movement efficiency, thereby preserving their energy stores...Read More

To quickly refresh your memory, conditioning is a program which enhances sport specific and task specific skills & performance.
It’s not teaching technical applications such as swinging a bat, throwing a ball, different stages of the 100m sprint or swimming efficiency.
Conditioning is elevating the body’s ability to be stronger, faster, quicker recovery and developing co-ordination...Read More

NO! NO! NO!
Don’t do sit-ups, crunches or any related abdominal curling exercise.
Believe it or not they make your stomach bigger, not smaller; just as any exercise does to any muscle.
These exercises will interfere with lean muscle gains because the stress which the abs incurs, negatively, shocks the nerves in the solar plexus. This negative impact forces your hormone levels to dramatically drop and negates muscular gains...Read More
