- The persistence of the "supplements are all snake oil" argument
- "Nutritional shortfalls" aren't just a thing of the past. They're very real today as well.

- Why the brain benefits from being treated "as a muscle."
- Creatine and neuro-protection against "the facts of life," or "You can trip walking down your driveway with the gifts that you just bought for your family and hurt your head."
