DESCRIPTION: Beets found to significantly improve athletic performance while reducing oxygen needs, upsetting a fundamental tenet of sports physiology. Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/doping-with-beet-juice/ and I'll try to answer it! The "wild ride" of which I speak is a 3-week series—my longest video sequence yet—exploring this phenomenon. In tomorrow's NutritionFacts.org (http://nutritionfacts.org/) video-of-the-day I'll discuss the proposed mechanism and then delve into the pros, cons, and controversies surrounding the performance-enhancing effects of vegetables. Strap yourself in! If you don't have the patience to wait, you can check out the DVD (http://nutritionfacts.org/blog/2011/12/19/latest-in-nutrition-vol-7-dvd-now-available-proceeds-to-charity/) (all proceeds to charity) or take this opportunity to dive into any of the other thousand subjects (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/).
