A daily glass of pomegranate juice increases testosterone levels

[n2doc]

Viagra's little blue pill has become a byword for giving your sex drive a boost.
But scientists have found a daily glass of pomegranate juice could also liven up your libido.

Men and women who drank a glass a day for a fortnight were found to have increased levels of the sex hormone testosterone.

A study on 58 volunteers aged between 21 and 64 found "significantly increased" testosterone levels in both sexes at the end of the two week experiment.

At the end of the study testosterone levels were found to have increased between 16 and 30 per cent among the subjects, while blood pressure had plummeted.

2. Pfft. Pomegranate juice is for wimps.

The truly adventurous consumes tiger penises for increased libido. This is especially adventurous when the penis is still attached to the tiger.

8. Pomegranate effects drugs, much like grapefruit

If you are taking drugs sensitive to grapefruit juice, they will probably be affected by pomegranate, too.

The Graedons reported about this on The People's Pharmacy.

9. It doesn't say where this has been published and peer-reviewed yet

Which right off the bat raises red flags for me. Secondly, 58 volunteers is a pretty small sample size to base a study on.

10. You might want to check that study more closely

Especially in light of this article about the "Pom" people.
