A Vegetarian Body Builder complains that his libido is down. He says that "naturally," once he started body building, he turned to a wide array of soy and tofu products. Our Medical Terminology teacher, Dr. Borgna, is a toxicity, environmental effects and nutrition expert. As we were studying the Latin origin of the word Androgynous, he went into the effects unfermented Tofu has on your libido! Turns out tofu constitutes of a lot of estrogen. In fact, Japanese women used to serve their husbands unfermented tofu if they were too horny, in order to suppress their libido!
Yesterday it was reported on national news that our drinking water has all kinds of yucky stuff in it, namely chemicals and sex hormones, anti depressants and more. In the 1990's, British fly fishers who kept meticulous notes of the fish they caught, started noticing all fish caught downstream from big cities were female. After taking male fish swimming upstream and placing them in a cage downstream, it didn't take them too long to become hermaphrodites! Upon testing the sewage water, it became clear its estrogenic effect was responsible for this transformation. The estrogen was then traced back to... you guessed it - the birth control pill! Yes, after going through millions of womens' digestive systems, one would think it would be harmless. However, the estrogen was "brought back to life" chemically by the bacteria in the sewage water.
Now go eat your fish and tofu!
