Written by | published on

Would all commercially available teas have to be labeled like this? I am usually not a fan of articles with titles like this one (see above) - they have what you call in Germany "Bildzeitungsniveau" (the German tabloid with news like "World about to disappear in a black hole, when CERN starts operating). It is however hard to resist the urge to use a headline like the one above, if the it fits the results of peer-reviewed scientific paper so well, as it is the case with the relatively recent paper from the University of Alberta and the Luleâ University of Technology in Sweden this SuppVersity article is (almost) all about. The corresponding experiment, the results of which were published in the peer-reviewed open-access Journal of Toxicology in October 2013, already, addresses the increasing concern about contamination of foodstuffs and natural health products. With the emphasis being on foodstuff and health, it's only logical that tea, or more precisely all...

Let's be honest does this stuff look as if it was supposed to be eaten? No, well other minerals don't either, so what's the verdict: Test booster? No! Thyroid booster or toxic waste? Read and learn more... Those of you who have been around for a while will remember the whole hoopla surrounding the purported , but never fully established let alone real-world significant testosterone boosting effect of this chemical agent which happens to the fifth element (meaning it has only 5 protons and its thus one of the first in the list of the elements ordered b proton numbers) in the periodic table. Since boron is produced entirely by cosmic ray spallation it is pretty rare and,... I could go on with more details, but I guess that should suffice to evoke the notion that we are dealing with some powerful, quasi superhuman stuff, right? So what the hell, why wouldn't it turn you into Superman or Superwoman ;-) I guess the same thought occurred to the thousands of customers who ...

New Study Says: Boron Does Indeed Raise Free Testosterone

There have been rumors on the Internet for quite some time - "Did you hear? Boron increases testosterone!" Hitherto, however, these claims have not been substantiated by reliable scientific research. A recent study done by a group of scientists from Iran ( Naghii. 2010 ) yet seems to prove that this is more than the steroid-loaden phantasy of an average gymrat. In a placebo controlled study, the scientists found that supplementation with 10mg Boron/day did not only lower SHGB and thus raise testosterone, it did also lower three inflammatory biomarkers (Interleukin-6 (IL-6), high sensitive CRP (hsCRP) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)): Table1: Hormones and inflammatory biomarkers concentration (mean ± SD) plus hormone ratios following consumption of placebo (day 0) and weekly boron supplementation (day 7) As you can see in table 1, the testosterone to estrogen ratio more than doubled (0.31 to 0.67). This alone makes me believe that it won't take too long...
