Potential Articles of Interest

 * Bodybuilding supplement
 * Here I would focus on the Controversy section. I would see if I could find more good sources both for and against these supplements that would add a more complete view to the article. Within This section I would probably be most focused on further-exploring the liver damage controversy, as well as the ability to absorb all the nutrients from these supplements.
 * Fasting
 * Here I would focus on the health effects section. I have personally heard of more health effects than what is listed on the page, so I would look for them in scientific sources, as opposed to fitness blogs where I initially encountered them. A focus here would be the potential benefits of cardio while fasting for short periods of time. If it turns out that this is more specific to Intermittent fasting, then I will narrow my scope. The Intermittent fasting is also less-developed so I may be able to contribute more to it.
 * Protein (nutrient)
 * Here I would focus on the Excess consumption part. I would be interested in fing answers to questions such as "Can we eat too much protein?", "What happens if we do?", and "How much is too much?".
