Thanks Ben for posting the video. Carolyn, talked about the importance of magnesium. You also talked about it in some of your shows. I would like to know what is a good oral supplement type to take? Thanks, Lou

Great podcast this week, Ben. Love the variety. On a somewhat related note to the pollution question, I have a question that also relates to the harmful chemicals of our modern day world.

Let’s suppose that an athlete is on a tight budget and honestly cannot afford to buy organic produce. Let’s suppose he/she can only afford non-organic produce. Do you think it might be better in this case to forgo produce altogether and consume the necessary vitamins and minerals from other sources? In other words, does ingesting huge amounts of harmful pesticides and/or genetically modified produce outweigh the benefits the produce may provide? Thanks, Ben!

Hi Ben,

Got a more general question in regards to the IM/ Half IM bike leg. When ever I listen to the pros talking via podcasts, they always mention, “riding with/being dropped from the group”. Are they talking about riding together with a 3 bike length gap, or are they just straight out drafting.

Also, noticed the the WTC have introduced anti-doping laws across the board for pro and Age group qualifiers. I’d like to know your thoughts on what percent of people are actually cheating, both pro and age grouper. Do we have a big problem in our sport?

Great podcast Ben,
Thank you for covering my question on detoxing. Aside from harzardous conditionis I never considered environmental factors to cause oxidation in the body. I’ll look into Oil of Oregano supplement you recommend, and do a google search on other detox supplements as well.
Thanks again Ben,
