Diarmid is in the habit of posting things that are way too old
for any intelligent person not to know them. I don't know why
he does this. Maybe he thinks we are all stupid.

Carbohydrates offer some help in muscle protein synthesis, but not
enough for the desired effect


This comes to you from the Dept. of No **** we Knew this 10 years ago
Sherlock. The only confusion comes in that carbs don't appear to affect
protein SYNTHESIS (an increase in insulin prmiarily affecting protein
breakdown, decreasing it). HIgh AA concentrations stimulate protein
synthesis. Cobmining the two (high insulin + high AA) gives better
results, something that's been known for years.

But thanks for being on the cutting edge of about 1995 or so.
