This is from an article on getting abs for the summer.

Nutritionists say a set of awesome abs takes more than just doing sit-ups. "New research shows that what you are eating may be just as important as your workout,"

Really, NEW research???

We snicker at this but sadly some people don't grasp even the most basic nutritional concepts and stuff like this "blows their mind".

Sadly, most people think that loading up on soda with high fructose corn syrup and eating fast food and potato chips is okay, provided that they do some situps they will magically get rock hard abs.

Then they do sit ups at night for a couple weeks and "what the hell, no abs?!"

Then, after a great deal of thought, they reach the conclusion that it must be that they don't have good genetics, and the people with six packs are probably all using steroids.

And for ever after every person they see with a six pack they immediately think "steroids".

The idea of proper eating habbits never once occurs. And if such is suggested to them, they fear giving up their junkfood addiction and they go into complete denial about what they eat.

It's quite sad.

True that... And to think the people who just figured "this" out know sooo much as to be telling the public how bad steroids are...
