@J.R.L I see people drinking 64-ounces of high-fructose Pepsi all day long like it is an IV and they work hard jobs and have no issues. I think it is the muscle and movement in itself that overcomes a lot of abuse to the body. Look at drinkers and smokers who work farms and live long lives. Inactivity is more detrimental to one’s health that even a bad diet in my opinion.  I am sure this body builder has changed his diet many times and bragged about every one of them every step of the way. Fifty-eight years old is still young so we shall have to just wait and see how his story plays out.

“Premature deaths in bodybuilders regularly make headlines and are cited as evidence that bodybuilding is a dangerous activity. A wealth of research has revealed elite athletes
typically enjoy lower mortality rates
than non-athletes, but research on
bodybuilder lifespan is surprisingly
limited.”
