Almost like a standard practice. For example, Gaspari used to include illegal steroids in their Haladrol-50 product. Now they sell a product named Haladrol Liquidgels, which is loaded with inactive ingredients and thus has zero anabolic activity.

LOL. So much funny shit have happened behind the scenes over the years that I could easily write a book or two. Unfortunately, I have no enough spare time right now. At least I can say I never sold out.

well it happens with alcohol and alcohol comes from grain aswell

i have perfect skin eating meat and fruits

if i eat anything processed i get acne,  i think my body can handle fructose from fruits but not the hard on the body sugars like grains wich have no fructose

any kind of acne is a sign you are consuming something wrong for the body

I could write a small book just on my 2yrs lol.  You have NO idea.  I probably worked at the most conflicting company there is.....one company was restricted from talking to us under penalty of termination haha.  I turned that place into a prank zone, no wonder im not there anymore hahaha.  At least i had fun!  I heard its boring there without me now and everyone keeps quitting haha (well, all the GOOD and SMART employee's have quit haha except for 2)  You should see where the first batch of a certain products raws were stored for 6 months lol......ok lemme stop or im gonna get a call from an angry fat guy threatening me hahahahaha

Hes been called worse on many occasions (and had to take it) lol.  He thinks hes cool cuz he gets to hire all the women he spends most of his day wacking off to their pictures and talking about "she owes me big time, i got her on the cover, a bj would do" (and thats the sensored version lol). 

Rich was cool to work for some of the time tho.  He let us have fun most of the time and was always cool outside of work. His wife was cooler. In the end he was just a cheap fuk haha (once yelled at me for trying to throw out a $2 disposable mop while moving him out of his old house haha)

should anyone be surprised thatLG was popped? I mean how they or their lawyer thought that their products were legal within the DSHEA 1994 law and subsequent laws is way out there....

Outch :-X

While somewhat off-topic, I recall a goofy phone call from the MuscleTech official. I was eating a hamburger at McDonalds and this guy called about the MD Anator product review. He said that they dont want to disclose its ingredients (btw, the ingredient profile was taken from my MD article but they claimed it was developed by the UK scientist Paul Greenhaff). I was like "how the heck Im supposed to review your product if I dont have a clue what the hell it contains?!" Basically the guy was asking me to repeat all that marketing BS. Needless to say, I declined the offer. :) A couple of days later (Friday midnight; note the time zone difference) I got a call from Cara (a former assistant of Blechman) that I should email an apology (or something) because I publicly called this guy a retard or MT will pull their ads (their standard stunt). I was not able to use email because I was at home party, so I think Cara asked Musclemayhem moderator to remove my comment from their board.

mannien why don't you do some research and admit anthony colpo was right ::)

you are doing your reputation as a science guy no good by denying metabolic ward studies that show calories are king when it comes to weight loss.

This is completely off-topic but those metabolic ward studies were included in this meta-analysis:
