REAL News – October 2022

October 2022 Why Do Females Incur More ACL Injuries – Act 31 For over 30 years, it’s been frustratingly known in the sports orthopedic community that female athletes have a greater risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears of the knee.

REAL News – October 2021

October 2021 Behavioral Compensations Alter Results of Exercise Training It is expected that an exercise program will yield results commensurate with the frequency, duration, intensity, and type of exercise one does. So a University of KY study wanted to determine exactly why some folks don’t get the expected results.  They had sedentary adults with BMI’sRead More

REAL News – April 2021

April 2021 Why Exercise Doesn’t Burn Calories as Expected:  Compensation We all grew up hearing a mile walk or jog burns 100 calories; that you have to burn 3500 calories to lose a pound of fat; that you can’t exercise weight off…WHAT?

Soda Safety…Again

Not long ago, I wrote about the ongoing controversy with artificial sweeteners in the American diet and culture. An article from September 2019 in the Washington Post brings more to bear on this topic, not for the findings but for the conversation around them. First, the article addresses the results of a European study inRead More

Disease, Apps and Ultimate Responsibility

I receive occasional offers from other bloggers to include or add onto my site as this sharing boosts one’s own visibility on the web. I vet them for content and redundancy – that is, if I’ve already addressed a topic – as well as readability. The latter pertains to it complexity or lack thereof. Some,Read More

Obesity Ain’t What You Think It Oughta Be

A fascinating, lay article in the Huffington Post, with the catchy title, “Everything You Know About Obesity is Wrong“, attempts to offer readers a simple, and emotionally moving, synopsis of obesity science. It is heartbreaking at times as interviewees often express lifelong feelings of pain and shame, and society and the medical community don’t help.Read More
