Scientists Discover "Miracle Molecule" in Beer That May Make You Stronger, Skinnier and Healthier

hmmm...seems that this molecule has the opposite effect on me.

 

I used to be over 300 pounds, dropped it all down to 216 I cant really run anymore due to arthritis in the knee. But I drink a ton of beer and havent gained much back. Maybe 10-15 lbs. Must be something in the beer I would say!

Cheers!

 

I'll have to view this video when I'm not @ work. They certainly chose an interesting name for the vitamin. The root word "nicotin" doesn't conjure up many healthy images.

 

You guys are talking to a total science ignoramus, so thanks for the info. Learned something new today. Will pass on half-baked explanation of beer's health benefits to the wife.

 

Interesting. Not sure if it has anything to do with the molecule but milk is an excellent appetite suppressant if you're trying to keep cravings at bay. Beer, not so much.

Also, I like the "hmm, yes. I am a scientist." moment at 1:17 with the centrifuge.

 

I always thought that losing weight meant burning more calories than you consumed was the key to losing weight. Damn that college education.

 

Well this is a little different. The molecule also reportedly increased muscular performance, which is something consuming fewer calories doesn't help with at all.

 

So there really is a connection between beer consumption and bench press? Someone needs to notify Overlord.

 

I just stick with the traditional methodology here. Consuming less calories than you burn will never fail.

 

Believing in a drug based off a mouse study is like trading for a beer based off the locals' ratings.

Always an interesting read though.

 

I get the impression you didn't pay attention to the video.

 

I think I saw this infomercial on public-access at 4:38 AM.

 

The funny part is that all started because he was responding to a guy who mentioned how much he benched totally out of the blue. It had nothing to do with the question in the op.

 

ADD is a curse.

as is being logical and critical.

 

Oh. So kind of like this thread.

 

You're right we need to get back on topic. We were actually discussing Nicotinamide riboside the other day at Crossfit while doing super sets of 10 consecutive muscle-ups in between 20 calorie rows & handstand push-ups.

 

What were you drinking?
