This has generally caused the issue.

I used to do this a long time ago, but if I said things like,

strength and i said is that performance or is that health right 10 years ago in my class everyone would have said right that's strength is performance right it's different now now when i throw that same slide up the kids already know that's that's a bowl thing right if i said anaerobic

Same thing, right?

Still to this day, if I said high intensity, for years, that's always going to go in that same bucket.

If you talk about exercise program, if you talk about supplementation, it's the same connotation, right?

So if you say creating for years, early 90s, mid 90s, late 90s, this is a performance-based thing.

But now you have so much evidence on the other side of the equation.

Most up and coming students now are being like, oh, this is a health thing, right?

So you're talking about research on creatine specifically.

Sure, muscle growth, muscle strength, there's 30 years of research on that.

That's very well established.

It's been tested in every population you can imagine.

Young, old, male, female, diseased populations, un-diseased, special populations, all kinds of things like that, different dosages.

And you're seeing very high safety profiles and very high effectiveness, right?

So the small issues you see with creatine, some people get kind of like nauseous or something like that from a little bit, but it's pretty uncommon.

Then you have random anecdotal reports of weird things, but that happens with physiology.

But on aggregate, it's an incredibly safe supplement to take.

Benefits are in muscle and performance, sure.

There's a little bit of research, actually.
