Title: Fitness Competitor Meegan Hefford dies from supplements???
Post by: Ron on August 14, 2017, 04:24:43 PM

It is interesting to see how the media and others are blaming supplements for Meegan's death.  It is tragic that she died, but blaming supplements for this?  Discuss....



Diet of protein shakes and supplements contributed WA mum and bodybuilder's death Meegan Hefford, a 25-year-old mother-of two, was found unconscious in her Mandurah apartment and was pronounced dead days later. Ms Hefford, who had been competing as a bodybuilder since 2014, was on a diet of protein shakes and eating protein-rich foods including lean meat and egg whites. She was a body builder studying paramedicine and a mother to a seven-year-old daughter and a five-year-old son.

Kind of like how Chris Benoit's familicide was the result of "steroids" and not years of concussive trauma due to professional wrestling.  ::)

If you read the article it claims she had a disorder where her body couldn't properly break down protein and resulted in too much urea in blood.

I dont blame the supplements, i blame the excessive protein consumption.
15 years ago a friend of mine became a type one diabetic from the muscletech products. At least was his only explanation on why a 28yo got that illness. After several years, his panchreas slowly started to funcion again, and the guy recovered.

Man, I really don't like to trample on someone who's tragically died, but looking at the pics in the article it seems as if she was an Instagram fitness star. I wonder if she'd trade it all to have more time? I look at the pics a see a self important narcissist who probably wished in her last minutes that she wasn't. The fucking Internet and social media have made everybody a "star".

Pretty sure she was eating things like meat, chicken, fish and egg whites as well, so blaming protein supplements for her dead makes no sense.

as well as that person going "WE NEED MORE REGULATION OVER PROTEIN POWDERS!!"

You either have it (diabetes 1) or you get it by consuming more calories you use meaning by getting fat (diabetes 2) so you has to be real genius to get it from supplements..The real joke here is the fact, that no one knows how fat you have to be to get it. There is 600lb lardbuckets who don't have it, and guys who are just barely overweight, who get it. Most by far don't even know they have diabetes 2 and continue their way of life until their kidneys stop working.

And she suddenly collapsed and died from it without any symptoms before. BS by the book. If she had a problem breaking down proteins, that would have showed immediately, even as a toddler and her kidneys would have shutdown long time ago. Probably fucked around with "fat burners" and diuretics and that's it.

there were symptoms, she was fatigued, lethargic, and nearly dying for a few weeks before

If your urea is skyrocketing, you don't simply feel lethargic.

People like this always  seem to leave children behind.  I love how they mask their narcissistic addictions as "training for bodybuilding".  They know it's an addiction and they know how unhealthy it is.  No good parent would ever compete in a competition that requires them to take drugs and diet down to near death body fat levels.

That may be true, but a boring life can be deadly as well, esp from a mental perspective

Doesn't seem like the smartest gal or 'well rounded'

-Having a kid at 18, then another one
-Living single with 2 kids in an apartment
-Obviously she blasted her diet/lifestyle on everyone , why would they word it as such ?  Didn't mention her occupation or prior health history even , just lifestyle and food choices ??

But most female amateur 'competitors' have some dude that floats them in some aspect


Prob some sort of rec drugs come up on toxicology

Looks like protein will be banned soon.  If you can OD on it, it must be a controlled substance.

Gotta love how the parents are demanding tighter restrictions on protein supplements. It's part of human nature nowadays to blame someone/something. They should be blaming themselves for giving her the genetics that gave her this disorder which led to her death.

Funny how the report demeaners the mutual physical assault, to give great emphasis to the guy calling the transgender a freak and a tranny.
