Fake Protein Supplements?

Just face the facts, man: even their moms like me! The one thing
girls can't do is keep a secret

Must be the "chubby Asian dweeb" thing, like Hiro Nakamura in
"Heroes."

What's that, the Japanese porn you keep for company when Asian girls
pretend they don't speak English when you introduce yourself??

Actually, another great thing about being Asian is that most of us
don't have to worry about fat.

Must really eat you up that we don't have hairy backs and yet we don't
go bald, either!

Every once in a while a TV news program does a study and finds
about 75% are less than on the label or completely fake.
No US industry regulates this unless someone becomes ill.
Frequently such bills are proposed in Congress but rejected.
The problem is that the company would also have to prove
effectiveness claims, which doesnt have commercial support.

Protein powders are probably a good area for nitrogen spiking
which happened in pet foods. Protein denser gluten was
replaced by cheap flour and a posionous nitrogen substitute.

"20/20" must have done an episode or two on bodybuilding and protein
supplements, right? I would love to see the transcripts.

Yeah, that's just the problem, isn't it.

What I'm wondering about here, though, is why the bodybuilding
discussion boards are so full of talk about lesser or even fake
protein supplements, but no one ever names a company!

And, also, has Schwarzenegger ever done supplement endorsements
himself?

he endorsed the short-lived Purepower line of supplements...HUGE was
the weight gainer based on supro soy proteing...MetaMax was the
metabolol competitor back in the days when metabolol and champion were
a big deal. i think it was a Nature's Way line...don't remember how
long it lasted on the shelves...maybe three years at the most.

this was in the late 80's. i just saw an ad the other day in one of
my old mags.

Oh, cool! Okay, so it was always like this, eh.

In "Pumping Iron" there's a scene where Arnold's doing a photoshoot
with girls all over him, apparently advertising one of them old-timey
bendable coil contraptions for the chest.

Do you have any info on his and Frank Columbu's construction
business? They owned a cement company or something, something related
to construction...what did all them guys do? Those were the days when
folks believed in training every day for hours and hours at a time,
morning and night! So I wonder how they made their living -- not to
mention paying for all those drugs and having the money to travel to
contests and shows!

You answered you own question. He didn't do that photo-shoot for free. I
think he "won a few bucks" from the contests too.
