it's that hydrogen ion that's causing all the trouble. It's not the lactate. We can consume, we can tolerate endless amounts of lactate tolerate and lactate is crucial in metabolism.

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.
Well, If you look the glycolytic pathway, it actually makes lactate. But, lactate is a pretty strong acid so it associates with water and a certain amount of acidosis that will be associated with the lactate itself. But, glycolysis actually makes lactate not lactic acid, the acidosis. The hydrogen ions come from other processes like the splitting of ATP, which is our high-energy energy source.
This is a big misnomer and big mistake in biology.
