An article in The New York Times asks doctors and trainers about jocks, aches and pains, and ibuprofen, but, hey, what do they know? You want to know about dog food you gotta ask the dogs.

Granted, dogs eat cat poop and drink out of the toilet, but nobody knows more about processed dog food. And nobody knows more about pain and pain remedies than serious amateur jocks.

Many of us take an anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen before, during, or after workouts as routinely as we drink a glass of water. If you think it works, does it work? Or are you fooling yourself and possibly doing more long-term harm than good, as some of the experts quoted in the NYT article suggest?
