<p>In this episode of the Barbell Medicine podcast, Dr. Jordan Feigenbaum and Dr. Austin Baraki discuss five major nutrition controversies that have sparked debate in the health and fitness community. They delve into topics such as protein intake recommendations, the role of dietary cholesterol, the energy balance model, metabolism myths, the comparison between real sugar and high fructose corn syrup, and the concept of the anabolic window. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the science behind these topics and encourages listeners to focus on overall dietary patterns rather than isolated nutrients.</p><p><a href="https://barbellmedicine.supercast.com/" rel="nofollow">Become a Barbell Medicine Plus Member Today</a></p><p><strong>New Stuff:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/barbell-medicine-seminar-san-antonio-tx-september-20-21-2025-tickets-1425767692549?aff=oddtdtcreator" rel="nofollow">Seminar Sign-up</a></li><li><a href="https://www.barbellmedicine.com/shop/supplements/whey-protein/gainzzz-rx-whey-protein-isolate/" rel="nofollow">WheyRx</a></li></ul><p><strong>Resources</strong>:</p><p><em>Dietary Cholesterol</em></p><ul><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6841553/" rel="nofollow">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6841553/</a> </li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7068846/" rel="nofollow">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7068846/</a> </li><li><a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10552423/" rel="nofollow">https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10552423/</a> </li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26980437/" rel="nofollow">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26980437/</a> </li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26843151/" rel="nofollow">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26843151/</a> </li></ul><p><em>Energy Balance</em></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0002916522002684" rel="nofollow">https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0002916522002684</a> </li><li><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0195666323001678?via=ihub=#bib23" rel="nofollow">https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0195666323001678?via=ihub#bib23</a> </li><li><a href="https://academic.oup.com/aje/article-abstract/180/2/172/2739148?redirectedFrom=fulltext" rel="nofollow">https://academic.oup.com/aje/article-abstract/180/2/172/2739148?redirectedFrom=fulltext</a> </li><li><a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4803033/" rel="nofollow">https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4803033/</a></li><li><a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5806271/" rel="nofollow">https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5806271/</a> </li></ul><p><em>Metabolism</em></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5039810/" rel="nofollow">Anthanont 2016</a></li><li><a href="https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article-abstract/35/3/566/4693296?redirectedFrom=fulltext" rel="nofollow">Ravussin 1982</a> </li><li><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3209643/" rel="nofollow">Speakman 2011</a></li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34385400/" rel="nofollow">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34385400/</a> </li></ul><p><em>Sugar</em></p><ul><li><a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9551185/" rel="nofollow">https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9551185/</a></li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23493540/" rel="nofollow">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23493540/</a></li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33029629/" rel="nofollow">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33029629/</a> </li></ul><p><em>Anabolic Window</em></p><ul><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23360586/" rel="nofollow">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23360586/</a> </li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30702982/" rel="nofollow">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30702982/</a> </li></ul><p>Resources Page: https://www.barbellmedicine.com/resources/</p><p><br></p><p>Template Quiz: https://www.barbellmedicine.com/template-quiz/</p><p><br></p><p>Got pain and need a professional who understands you lift?
