There is so much misinformation on the Internet, and it is truly the reason why everyone over complicates everything related to health, nutrition, and exercise. \u00a0It’s not isolated to just that, though. \u00a0I would venture to say that 80% of the info-graphics on varying topics don’t cite sources, and are usually wildly inaccurate. \u00a0I digress. . .<\/p>\n
