One of the great things about having clients as dedicated (or more) to fitness is that they often send me interesting little tidbits about fitness related media stories and research. One of my best clients Cliff recently sent me this email: Hey Jes, Check out http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine-archive/2010/july/food/protein-drinks/overview/index.htm.

Some time ago, it was discovered that adding low levels of antibiotics to feed helped livestock grow faster while simultaneously enabling animals [...]
