Yogurt the Key to Sexiness?


At a lab in Massachusetts Institute of Technology they made a break through discovery. Eric Alm and Susan Erdman theorized that probiotiics—found in yogurt—help weight loss and sex appeal. To test their theory they gave a set of mice junk food, regular food, and regular food with mouse size portions of yogurt. One of the first thing they noticed about the mice that were given the probiotics; was they had shinier and thicker fur and were slimmer than the other mice.  This wasn’t the only thing that set a part the yogurt eating mice from their siblings. The male mice had “swagger”. “We knew there was something different in the males, but we weren’t sure what it was at first,” Erdman said. “You know when someone’s at the top of their game, how they carry themselves differently? Well, imagine that in a mouse.” Later a lab technician notice that their testicles were protruding out farther.  It turns out their testicles were 5 percent bigger than those eating regular food, and 15 percent bigger than those of mice on a diet designed to mimic “junk food” in humans. And in this case, bigger was better. “Almost everything about the fertility of those males is enhanced,” Erdman said. She explained how yogurt-eating males mated faster and produced more offspring. “There were legitimate physiological differences in males fed probiotics, not just the extra sexiness.”And let’s not forget the ladies. Female mice that ate yogurt were even shinier than the males and tended to be better moms to their larger litters. http://www.thebostonchannel.com/news/31021731/detail.html
