http://www.usefulscience.org/podcast/5
This week we learn about eating fast food after a workout, xenophobic 6 year olds, and HIV prevention.
Show Notes:
- When adjusted for carbohydrate, fat, and protein content, fast food was equally as effective as sports supplements (such as energy bars) for post-workout recovery in a study with 11 trained male athletes.
- Fat adapted diet
- Lore of Running, Timothy Noakes
- Marathon Training Academy

- When treated unfairly, six-year-old children punished the perpetrator more harshly if they were an 'outsider' to the child's social group, displaying an 'in-group bias'. By age eight, children punished 'insiders' and 'outsiders' more similarly, demonstrating less of this bias.
- It is estimated that in the USA, 30.2% of new HIV infections are transmitted by people who do not know they have the virus. Getting tested is the only way to know for sure if you have HIV.
- Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)
