There are extremists claiming that all diseases are caused by foods processed through heating, together with other factors like drugs, alcohol, smoking, polluted environment, electromagnetic radiation and sedentary lifestyle, shorten human life.

Some bodybuilders attending the original Gold’s Gym in Venice, California in the early 70s believed that breathing oxygen from a bottle after every series improves muscle hardiness and recovery after workouts.  This trend proved short- lived, however, for quite unclear reasons.  I have since seen competitors for Mr. Olympia getting down the platform to breathe oxygen, although nowadays this is not so common a practice as it was in the past.
