iamziz Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Study Reveals Men Who Like Spicy Food Have More Testosterone It turns out, men who enjoy spicy foods also tend to be more adventurous, according to a study that shows a correlation between high testosterone levels and an appreciation for hot sauce. The study might also suggest the inclusion of chili peppers into one’s regular diet could boost testosterone levels. Researchers at France’s University of Grenoble measured testosterone levels of 114 men ages 18 to 44 via saliva samples, according to the Telegraph. Participants were then given a plate of mashed potatoes and asked if they’d like to add chili sauce. The men with the higher testosterone used the most sauce. This wasn’t much of a surprise, said study author Professor Laurent Begue, because the hormone influences men to try new things. He said, In this case, it applies to risk-taking in taste. It is also possible that the regular consumption of spicy food contributes to increasing testosterone levels, although so far this has only been demonstrated on rodents. Therefore, Time reports, the amount of capsaicin — the compound that gives chili peppers their signature kick — a man enjoys, the more likely he is to take risks, dominate social circles and exude sexual prowess. The study authors explain, Conversely, low testosterone levels have been associated with lethargy or depressive mood. Exactly what makes a man enjoy the taste of hot sauce isn’t clear, but these results are likely to influence at least a few eating habits. Entitled “Some Like It Hot,” the study will be published in US scientific journal, Physiology and Behaviour.

The fat burning may be only 10 units per hour but if you consume 100 units every few hours,you're still in excess right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
