from memory I think he was raving on about the amino acid cysteine and how good it was for recovery.. he got me to try some, so i took a small spoonful of the powder and put it on my tong then went to grap a cup of water.... big mistake.
It was so acidic , by the time i took a mouthful of water my tongue was already bleeding... so somehow your digtestion manages to deal with acidic amino acids like that without letting them cause damage to the body

David Sullivan wrote:Perhaps it might help if I state them slightly differently, namely:
1) Busting myths requires proof whereas the current publicity is based on personal opinions.
2) Diet is important, as are consistent messages about diet.
3) There are many interacting components to our diet, many aspects of diet which are neutral or potentially beneficial, and several that are adverse. Saturated and trans unsaturated fats remain detrimental for cardiovascular disease.
4) The associations between diet and obesity are different from the associations between diet and cardiovascular disease.
5) The effect of diets are most clearly evident when different populations of people are compared because the differences in diet between populations are greater than those within populations.
6) The Mediterranean Diet is a low saturated fat, high unsaturated fat diet. In the most famous example, mono and polyunsaturated margarine replaced butter.
7) The problems with health in Western society largely stem from too much food and too little activity. On this background, it is better not to replace saturated fat with simple or refined carbohydrate.
8) There are also vested interests on the saturated fat side of the debate.
9) Cardiovascular disease is sky-rocketing in the developing world. Consumption of both sugar and saturated fat has increased in these countries, but saturated fat more so.
