Fat affects your *thing*'s size

According to Vicky Belo, a famous cosmetic surgeon in the Philippines, during a radio interview where she answered questions from callers to that show, a fat man has a smaller penis.

This is not only due to the proportion of a fat man's body to his penis but also because an over weight body has more estrogen (female hormones) than a normal, leaner man's body. This is supported by other studies where a man with more muscles (a healthier, more fit man) has more testosterone (male hormones) in his system.

Cosmopolitan magazine however does not take "pumped up testosterone" light - it's not always a win-win situation. Just because a man has a better body, has more testosterone, doesn't mean he's more "desirable". Also according to studies, men with higher testosterone levels are more likely to cheat - blame it on their testosterone levels and lack of self discipline. However, just because there is such a tendency, it doesn't make it normal and uncontrollable.

L-Carnitine Lie

New products are sprouting everywhere bearing the "promise" of weight loss with their secret ingredient: L-Carnitine. Well it's not really a secret because they all but emboss their plastic bottles with its name.

L-Carnitine supplements, like the slimming pills in the drug stores, "slim drinks" in the groceries, do not help you burn fat.

It's a fact that L-Carnitine does help the body burn fat, but it's a lie that it'll help you when you intake such L-Carnitine-packed pills and drinks. There's no scientific proof, no concluding observations that can show you that someone actually lost weight or burnt more fat when he/she drank Del Monte's Fit 'n Right or Belo's SlimFit puke-flavored powdered juice.

Our greatest natural source of L-Carnitine is red meat. What you eat everyday is enough to meet the daily requirement of L-Carnitine. Anything that you ingest in excess is flushed out as crap/excess. However, anything that you ingest with it is counted as additional calories and is therefore fattening. You're better of drinking water which guarantees zero calories - non fattening, detoxifying.
