Title: does eating meat have an effect on testosterone production?
Post by: Jessie_Heart on January 30, 2009, 09:44:59 PM
I read on another site that the amount of meat you eat has an effect on how much testosterone your body produces (as in more meat means more testosterone) is this true? I eat alot of meat so I am just curious!

I'm not sure how this could be true.. ??? I mean were they talking about chicken or beef?  And fish is meat, too.  I eat meat of some kind almost every day and I don't think I have a particularly larger amount of testosterone.. [I'm a gg.]

It didn't sound right to me either but I didn't want to just assume that just because it didn't sound right to me that my opinion was fact. you get plenty of wierd info on the web and it seems myths are abundant in the TS community!

Does eating certain foods make you smell different?  Yes, it can.  Since both of these processes, making T and digesting food are electro-chemical in nature one could effect the other.  However most of the research has been along the lines of additives, growth hormones and the like in the food, and that has seemed to have downstream effects.
