If what the media would have you believe were true, carbohydrates are bad for everyone, athlete and non-athlete alike. The truth, says a top sports nutritionist, is that all the hype about carbs doesn't apply to athletes.

A new UCLA study is the first to show how a diet steadily high in fructose slows the brain, hampering memory and learning - and how Omega-3 fatty acids can counteract the disruption.  Previous studies have shown Omega-3 helps heart health and may aid in recovery from concussion.
