The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
insulin affects mtor although it doesn't seem to be a powerful enough signal to actually impact muscle building if insulin has an effect it's probably more so on the protein breakdown side of things in fact there if you look at studies looking at carbohydrate ingestion we don't really see increases in muscle protein synthesis so if you just give pure carbohydrate even up to like 100 grams of glucose even though you get a pretty good rise in insulin it doesn't seem to affect muscle protein synthesis
