Sugar can make you a mutant!
Here is a summary of an article that suggests that large amounts of sugar intake can adversely affect one’s DNA.
The lead researcher, Sam El-Osta, from the Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute, told the Australian Associated Press that these harmful genetic changes or mutations could linger in the cells, perhaps having the capability of altering natural metabolic responses to diet. He also stated that chronic “poor eating would amplify the effect, with genetic damage lasting months or years, potentially passing through bloodlines … to one’s children.”

We now have a new category for those looking for more of a challenge when doing pullups. “Rx’d” will still designate doing pullups without any assistance, while getting the chin over the bar. “C2B” will designate doing pullups without any assistance while getting the chest or clavicle to make contact with the bar. Unlike regular pullups where a certain height (chin over bar) must be achieved, C2B pullups REQUIRE that you make contact with the bar. It doesn’t matter if you pull to your navel, if you don’t make contact with the bar… it doesn’t count as C2B. Enjoy!
