Could soda lead to fertility problems?

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Ever wanted to pop open a soda with lunch or just have the craving for something bubbly and sweet? You may think again after reading this study.

According to a report that was published in the American Journal of Epidemiology on March 25th, soda could lead to fertility problems in males.

Wait is that a bad thing? I mean how many guys are thinking about having kids at a young age, right? If your trying to have kids then this would make more sense. Woman are going to start hiding soda from their hubbies so that they will have super sperm.

Sherman J. Silber, M.D.,  finds the study absurd. Don’t believe me? Read below what he feels about the research that was done.

“This study is absurd,” says the director of the Infertility Center of St. Louis and the author of “How to Get Pregnant,” told AOL Health. “You have to average at least 12 sperm counts over at least a six-month period … because there is so much variation in sperm count within the same man.”

He makes a valid point. The study did test many men yet they all had an average sperm count. Yes, some had lower with the consumption of soda but not enough significant data to prove this theory. He feels that the variation of sperm from man to man is so great that this study couldn’t have a valid outcome.

Guess it doesn’t hurt to consume more soda if you want less chance of having kids. Drink away kiddies, just don’t forget about the dentist!

Mercury Pills would make anyone crazy, including Abe Lincoln

Saturday, March 27th, 2010

Honest Abe was always known to be cool and collect. Even during the Civil War he was able to reach a level head over defeat or triumph. Was he always this way? The answer is no.

During a failed campaign for Illinois senate seat, friends reportedly saying that our late president shook a politician until you could literally hear his teeth chatter together. Wow!

Scientists feel they have the reason behind this sudden rage Lincoln had. It all contributed from his constipation problem. He was taking mercury pills to help him with his problem which in return gave him sudden bursts of rage and anger. This kind of sounds like roid rage. You take roids to get big quick and strong. The downside is a small penis and LOTS of rage.

The little blue pills he took was called Blue Mass. All the rage in the late 1800′s to cure just about any tooth ache or bowel movement issue you may have. The physician during that time would tell the patient to take anywhere from 2-3 pills a day. That is 80 – 120 times the amount of Mercury any person should consume in a day, says the World Health Organization.

“To think that the president was meant to be taking two of them a day is appalling,” said Dr. Bin Chen, who carried out the test.

This makes me think about the pills we are fed these days. Doctors will mix and match pills saying things like, “well the blue will counter the yellow, but then the yellow will give you diarrhea so you should take this pink one 5 times a day.” How in the hell are we suppose to know what will cure us or mess with our body in the not so distant future?

This is a lesson that no matter who you are, how much money you may have, or what awareness you possess, we’re all screwed. Next time you go to the doctor make sure you ask him what the long term side effects could be. See what he says. Most of the time they are just out to make a quick buck.

5 Year Old Romanian body builder

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Okay this is disturbing. I can’t imagine this being really healthy for this young kid. Anyone that can lift themselves up clearly only using their upper body has to have a lot of training and strength. So when did he start? Probably as a fetus! His parents are probably stage parents. Oh Romania.

Here are some quick highlights of what I thought was crazy:

0:31 — Wall flip

0:43 — Backflips on a table.

1:43 — Doing barbell curls. I love his siblings in the background.

3:19 — More flipping, this time from a gymnastic bar.

Why steroids are bad, real bad.

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

Let’s talk a little bit about steroids for a moment. Most feel that working out is a chore. No one wants to hit the gym to get those ripped muscles and would much rather speed up the process. BAD IDEA! When you take steroids you may look great at first with HUGE results fast but you should always be aware of the long term side effects. Kinda like Lindsay Lohan’s drug problem. It’s really fucking her up now cause she looks FUGLY!

The picture above represents a 21 year old body builder on steroids. He starts to get rather large quick but if you look closer you’ll notice he has an odd rash on the center of his chest. What is that?

The Catch 22 of a Healthy Diet

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

healthy_badfood

 

Ok I’m a little confused about how our body works. As most know about me I’ve been on a new type of workout plan called ‘P90x’. This entails you to eat right and workout daily. As you start to eat better and workout you gain more energy, feel great, and well….look good too. With everything you do though I personally feel there is a consequence. Here is my story about last night.

So after a long photo gig for Kaplan University I headed over to my friend Kai’s house in Pasadena. It was your typical fun with friends and a couple of drinks. Now you would think I drank a lot if you saw me around 2am. Before arriving home around 1:30 I picked up Carls Jr. For all of you fitness geeks like me you may be wondering why would I eat fast food on my diet? Well you do have one cheat day a week to survive all those cravings. All I had was a burger and some fries…so I thought.

Now here is the  CATCH 22 of the story.. I started to puke my ASS off when I got home. It was like the excorcist all over again minus the pee soup. I couldn’t believe it. You would assume I had staright up food poisoning. In all my life I have never had food poisoning. Now food poisoning is such a common thing you think almost anyone my age would have had this, but not me. When I went to the emergency room the doctor asked me what my daily diet is. I told him the basics like organic this and that etc. Do you want to know what that fool said next? “Well there is your problem Joe, your too healthy to eat fast food.” Pause for laughter. I couldn’t believe what he said. He basically told me that I need to eat something bad in my diet every now and then so this won’t happen again. Apparently I wasn’t poisoned after all and the diet is so healthy the moment I eat something processed like the hamburger it messes with my insides. So the Catch 22 is the fact that even when you are being smart and eating right you will have to be careful the times you enjoy foods like Carls Jr.
