When I first became a dedicated cyclist, the term "energy foods" didn't exist. During rides, we ate granola, GORP (good ol' raisins and peanuts), bananas--or, perhaps, other fruits or chocolate.
Of course, some made ridiculous claims for some food or another--usually one that wasn't widely available. One was "Tiger's Milk". The joke was, of course, that you don't need to drink Tiger's Milk: Instead, you should find out who milked the tiger and eat whatever he or she eats.
I would say the same for whoever harvested this:
After he was stripped of his 2006 Tour de France victory, Floyd Landis tried to claim that the unusually high testotsterone count found in his blood was "natural" and not the result of consuming any substance. Then he tried to blame it dehydration caused by drinking whisky. Maybe he should have told the anti-doping agency he'd been eating Shark Balls.
