This special post goes out to all my guy friends out there. I had posted it before, but the title apparently turned a lot of people off. I still feel this is an important post to read -- you might want to change how you buy your beef!
Wanna have some fun, grow yourself a spongy upper body, gain weight, decrease your sex drive and sperm count, all while increasing your chances of testicular and prostate cancer?
Like many, you probably are on the edge of your seat (ouch?) wanting to find out how you, too, can join in this International craze! Well, I have some answers for you here!
First off, EAT THAT GIANT CHEESEBURGER! Be sure not to skip the bun, OR te friend fries! Luckily, my vegetarian male friends are not exempt from this tip… Unfermented soy products are just as likely to contain xenoestrogens as our usual corn-fed beef. So, your veggie burger may be lower in fat, cholesterol, and calories, but it still packs a punch where hormones are concerned.
And potatoes used in restaurants are extremely unlikely to be organically grown, ensuring a high level of pesticides that also enable estrogen-production in men. You'll be taking those E.D. ads more seriously in no time at all!
Add to this, the fact that cattle corn is treated with many pesticides, and beef are regularly given estrogen implants to increase their weight without increasing their food consumption, and you have a Estrogen Extravaganza! Even better, a lot of the time the estrogen implants aren't actually taken out before slaughter, as the FDA says they should. BONUS!
The fun, though, isn't limited to the guys. LADIES! Want to increase your chances of breast cancer? Join your mate in this feeding frenzy! The weight you will both gain only adds to the fun, as being overweight can increase the chances of literally DOZENS of different cancers, as well as heart disease, the #1 killer of women in the US.
Want to have this sort of fun WITHOUT the burger and fries? You all are still in luck! The BPA's contained in some plastic containers and bottles are xenoestrogens, as is the lining found inside the cans of canned tomato products. Especially great about the tomatoes -- they are acidic and actually increase the rate at which the BPAs are consumed, thus nullifying any gains from consuming that pesky lycopene!
So grab yourself some (unfermented) soy milk, put it in a plastic bottle, then heat it up in there. And drink this lovely concoction as you eat tomatoes right out of the can. It has been suggested that consuming 100g of unfermented soy protein, is equivalent to taking a birth control pill. And a diet high in soy can block absorption of calcium, magnesium, and zinc -- the Joy of Soy!
You can even add in some apples. Apples, to maintain their distinct breeds and flavors, have to be protected against cross-pollination. This means they are more frequently sprayed with pesticides, than many other produce. YUM! Add to that, that we generally eat the skins, and oh boy! Apple pie for dessert never sounded quite so good.
UNLESS, of course, you are talking about topping that apple pie with some lovely whipped cream, or having it a-la-mode. Dairy products are not at all immune to this estrogen craze, and in fact can be worse (OOPS! I meant BETTER!) even than eating beef. If only you could find yourself some nice ice cream frozen in a BPA-containing plastic, errr, container, well, folks, the fun may never end.
Pesticide fun is not limited to apples and potatoes, no no! In fact, seemingly healthy foods such as blueberries and spinach have been making the Dirty Dozen list now. Of course, you want to avoid buying those "safer" foods such as avocado, cabbage, grapefruit and sweet potatoes, if you can. These aren't going to help you develop cancer OR grow anything to put in a bra.
Oh, and try to make a white-bread sandwich with as much of these recommended foods as you can! Wheat can not only block the absorption of medications, nutrients, and healthy isoflavones, but is also believed to contribute to breast cancer, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and infertility (yes, guys, this is why you, too, need your refined wheat products)!
I am providing some links below for a little light, entertaining reading about these topics. I hope you have lots of fun with this, and I look forward to shopping at Victoria's Secret with my guy friends soon. Of course, will probably necessitate a buying out of Victor's Secret (Google THAT!), and the National Cattlemen's Association is sure to sponsor some lovely coupons for you all when this finally occurs!
