https://www.dictionary.com/browse/misinformation seems to disagree. I have heard misinformation in both contexts.
-
how do you even "feel" an increase in T? more irrational aggression? acute hair loss?
-
I feel like there's this explot in human psychology:
- People are pretty bad at matching causes to effects.
- Doing something novel / outside your usual routine can feel pretty good, regardless of what it is you're doing.
Therefore: People who try weird diets, snake oils, or letting the sun shine on their asshole really do feel better afterwards, at least for a while. That must mean it works!
-
You are not that far off. For me:
Hair grows everywhere except where you want it to.
It's a bit easier to gain muscles with the same amount of exercise and the same diet.
And yes, more irrational aggression to some degree.
Obviously not because of onions, though

fwiw what i've heard is that testosterone doesn't make you aggressive; rather it like tends to make you feel things a lot, which can either lead to aggression or to being a human guard dog or whatever, depending on the circumstance and the person.
sorta like how being drunk doesn't make you violent, it makes some people violent and makes others profess how much they love everyone in the room while loudly sobbing.

If you really want to raise your testosterone you have to drink cum. It's packed with testosterone.
-
I read that last sentence in the voice of Bane from that one Auralnauts video.
Cum...is packed...with testerone.

Honestly, cutting an onion and eating it raw like a snack is underrated
-
Am I wrong for liking raw onion? I mean, I wouldn't eat it like an apple, but I do enjoy sneaking a few pieces when I'm cooking something. The crisp texture is kind of nice. Not to mention green onions - I've been biting the heads off of those since I was a kid.
-
Depends on the onion. A sweet onion, like a vidalia, is almost edible for me. We eat green onions raw all the time, and red onions raw, in small amounts, on salads. It's just volume that makes onions challenging. And age. Onions get more potent as they age.
But I'd eat a fresh, raw Vidalia; I wouldn't enjoy it, but it wouldn't exactly be suffering.
-
I'd eat a Walla Walla sweet like an apple, them things are tasty.

I did the raw white onion on peanut butter challenge and it is actually a great pairing. Get some crackers, spread peanut butter, sprinkle some finely diced onions on top.
-
Raw red onion with some dijon mustard...
-
Raw onion eaten by itself sometimes makes me sneeze, but I still eat it haha.

So spamming misinformation is ok if you're spamming it to "gym bros" - got it.
Doesn't matter who else is misled as long as the dominant group in the forum gets to experience a teensy vicarious sense of victory over some group they don't like. That's how social media morality works.
-
Yes
-
It isn't gym bros, it is the manosphere that is being trolled.
And frankly, they deserve it.
-
It really is easier to deal with the human race if you reduce it to a handful of memes and put everybody in one. Redneck racists discovered that enlightened revelation a long time ago. But let's not copy them ok?

I feel bad for the one broke dude/trans dude that was just trying to get a cheap test boost, NGL. The bros on the other hand, ehh, not so much. I'm just being honest.

I wonder who started the “seed oils are responsible for all evil in the world” trend. That’s another one I’ve heard from people I thought reasonable when discussing food.
For the record:
Seed oils are rich in omega-6 fatty acids, especially linoleic acid. Seed oil critics reason that there are pathways in which linoleic acid is converted in the body to other polyunsaturated fatty acids associated with inflammation. However, an overwhelming majority of published scientific literature points to the safety and potential health benefits of linoleic acid in reducing inflammation and risk of coronary artery disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes. Contrary to claims that omega-6 fats promote inflammation, research indicates that they do not have harmful pro-inflammatory effects when consumed as part of a balanced diet.

I swear the social media sphere, for whatever reason, is hell bent on destroying society via death by a thousand cuts. From outright lies to shitty health information to hating higer education.
-
I think it is more complicated than that. As I understand it, it is the ratio of 6 to 3 that can have inflammatory effects. Most people don’t get much 3 and get lots of 6 so that can be a problem. Both are essential but we need the right balance.
Also, it is pretty well understood that EVOO shouldn’t be used in high heat applications, anything over 375 where it smokes. You can and should cook with it but use something else for searing.
Edit: here’s some published research on ratio since people are downvoting me.

The online discourse lacks any of the nuance and specificity of this information.
Thank you for posting it for clarity.

So eating fish and chips is not helping

I talked to someone about why i don't eat meat and i didn't really elaborate, because i didn't feel the need to. A bit of talking later she said cancer only started since we started eating so much grain/flour/gluten. That was fucking wild, knowing that bread wasn't invented 30 years ago. They found bread in özis belly.

That would probably be Ray Peat. Ray Peat was friends with Linus Pauling, and he had a special diet he recommended (and lived to be 86, died in 2022). It focused on fat soluble vitamins A, E, K, and D, and promoted low low PUFA (fatty acids, eg seed oils), and high vitamin C. He did have a little PUFAs later in life in his diet though as he became elderly. He wasn't a quack, but it is likely his extreme diet was missing some obvious important components like omega 3s and 9s.
He is also the person who talks about proportions of fats to each other, eg taking vitamin E to combat negative affects of vitamin A, which is still used to treat vitamin A toxicity in ERs to this day.

Joke's on OP, turns out he was right and helping people (very mildly)
-
That paper reads like it was written by an undergrad going through cargo cult motions of sounding like a scientist. And the evidence is still weak: many of those studies being summarized are studies where they poisoned rats and investigated whether onion juice has some kind of protection against the poison, as measured by testosterone levels.
-
Okay, there's still some evidence, which I emphasized was very mild.

That is just the Glacebo Effect.
