(Editor’s note: We used the mainstream headline verbatim and often use AP (Associated Press) or headline news titles, just like many other sites of our size (several million monthly readers). I wish I had more hours in the day to develop headlines, but I sell nothing and put out thousands of articles. If you have several hours a day to help let us know (not being facetious)!
Check out the video and the article. We feel awful for Meegan’s mom but do not think supplements should be more regulated. We also agree that the disorder is rare, but that many do consume too much protein on a daily basis (especially processed), let alone before a competition such as this. Her mom never even knew she had it until sweet Meegan died.
Rest in peace to Meegan. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.
Do you agree with this video from mainstream?
“Upon her death, the doctors discovered Hefford had been living with a rare disorder – urea cycle disorder – which stops the body from being able to break down protein. The disorder can lead to fatal levels of ammonia in the bloodstream and excessive fluid on the brain.”
The cause of death was ruled as an “intake of bodybuilding supplements” in addition to her undiagnosed illness.
