Does this seem like an advertisment in disguise to anyone else?
« on: Sunday, May 23, 2010, 09:39:04 AM »
So I clicked on the link to this 'article' on MSN:

http://www.mensbest.com/article/content/fb_lgid=31&fb_lpid=59&fb_itid=908276&nid=23&aff_id=20100522

The article seemed shady from the first paragraph...

But then this probably did it:

Nitric oxide, a highly reactive, free radical gas found in mammalian body tissues, is used to increase vasodilation and blood flow to the heart, treat erectile dysfunction and treat some cases of premature lung function in preemies. As a free radical, however, it can damage the body when elevated significantly. Talk with your physician and do your own research to find out how to increase your natural nitric oxide levels safely to improve your health without putting your body at risk

Tips & Warnings

Avoid the supplement pushers. While many sports supplement and nutrition dealers will try to sell you nitric oxide supplements to improve muscle fiber output and overall strength, there is no evidence to support these benefits. For a list of hard scientific articles about how nitric oxide affects your health, go to the AST Sports Science website (see Resources below).
