Arnoldtalks supplements June 8, 2026 -- I stumbled across this little gem: Arnold Schwartzenegger's guide to The [dietary] Supplements You Actually Need. Odd how Republicans seem to be obsessed by these things. But it's actually pretty good... maybe he's not as dumb as he looks. Do you take vitamins? Minerals? Amino acids? Turns out much of what is sold to us in the guise of health promotion is snake oil or worse. Who knew? Anyway, this 98-page pamphlet does have some good information -- why those expensive pills and potions often don't work (hey, it's an unregulated industry; what did you expect?), how to choose the ones you actually need, how much to take, etc. Go Arnold! |
