As I approach 50, I value the remaining hair that I have, and I have no aspirations to pump up my prostate over time if I can avoid it. Thanks for asking.
oh really? which point do you think is more valid to humans... the starving honey bees or the sexual organs of a flower? ROFL
are you suggesting that people can only survive on vegetabes alone or are you also saying that beans are essential? Your posts thus far, at least from what I saw, suggests you are only talking about vegetables alone. edit: I guess legumes are considered veggies too?
<i>"no one that trades could be this dumb so this must be a joke. "</i> I see you were quite busy in here posting during some directional market action. Hope you caught the ES short 1358 - out 1346 like we did. * Some clovers, beans and other legumes contain +/- 20% protein per weight. In other words five pounds of stalks, leaves and flower heads (sex organs to the plant) roughly equal one pound of lean meat like skinned chicken breast, broiled beef or ground 'possum (the other white meat). Let's ass u me that five pounds of spinach has equal protein content as these ultra-rich feed crops do. It does not, but I'll pretend for a moment if you do. Agreed? You being the vegan that you are, meeting your personal protein requirement might mean consuming five pounds of fresh spinach if you refuse the more nutrient-dense forms of protein such as one pound of chicken, beef or 'possum. <b>saint</b>, I love spinach much as or more than anyone still bothering to read this drivel. But... five pounds per day is not an efficient way to gather our protein. At all. You are more than welcome to plow thru that pile of roughage every day if you desire. That'll sure keep you healthy in every way. Ever change a baby's diaper after their lunchtime jar of spinach? I'll make a suggestion or two: #1: Keep a box of wet wipes handy. At all times #2: When nature calls, answer immediately. You'll have no time to stall #3: If you enjoy a couple of beers afterwards to wash down those yummy greens, the yeast in that beer will live long and prosper all the way thru your digestive tract. If you are sleeping and awaken to a warm, rumbling tummy... get out of bed. Fast #4: If you get tired of spinach, beet greens are about equal in value. Feel free to substitute those for a changeup... but I gotta warn ya, they create a lot more gas than spinach will. #5: Ruminants (hoofed critters with chambered stomachs that chew cud) = vegans are said to potty somewhere between 10x to 30x more volume per equal body weight than we omnivores do on a daily basis. If you ever worked on a farm, you know that already. Like I said before, please keep those wet wipes handy on your spinach-protein diet. For your sake, and everyone else around you
colon cleanse, liver cleanse, every other cleanse and then 20 colonics for 20 days....and you be ready to start your new life...with about 20 pounds less of fecal nasty ass all my life in my tummy matter....peace
Vegetarians are ok....sometimes, but vegans are jerks. When I worked as a server, they always - always gave me a hard time, were never happy and left lousy tips. Vegans? No, thanks.
Watch out Atty you're gonna confuse him with fancy words like "in vivo"...he'll probably just call you an idiot or something. I suggest Dr. Weston Price's work for an idea or two for those vegans in the crowd. The Paleo Diet by Dr. Loren Cordain is a good reference as well, someone mentioned that earlier. Both books are written by actual doctors that spent years and years studying human history, culture and health as it relates to the food they eat or don't eat. Not some quack vegan who has an agenda trying to say freaking snap peas are gonna supply you with what you need to be a real man.
Does that mean that PEs don't have a crowding out effect on actual estrogen at all? (Serious question.) Also, even if phytoestrogens do not have that effect, my understanding is that they are a very weak form of estrogen which may be a small price to pay for the apparently beneficial effect it has on DHT. No?
