Question: What natural food can enhance testosterone level? I'm a 19-year-old male. I'm wondering what kinds of natural food can provide good testosterone to males or encourage testosterone production in the body? What should be taken to improve my body's testosterone production? What are the things to note when eating such food? Also, I know that bean products like "tofu" and soya milk are great sources of protein. But the drawback is that they contain certain levels of female hormones. I am a bit worried that I would be affected because I like eating those food (frequently!) to get protein. What should I do? Will it increase my body's female hormones?

Answer: Here's a list of things that are your enemies if you're trying to boost your testosterone level: -- Any type of soy product (female hormones -- VERY BAD) -- Smoking marijuana (more female hormones -- VERY BAD) -- Drinking too much alcohol (no more than 2 drinks per week) -- Fast food -- Junk food -- Too much saturated fat (keep to a minimum) -- Trans fats (partially or fully hydrogenated oils) -- High fructose corn syrup (found in a lot of things) -- Processed "white" flour and sugar -- "White" veggies like potatoes and rice These foods can help boost your testosterone levels: -- Nuts, any kind (almonds are best) -- Beans and other legumes -- Spinach and other green vegetables (NOT iceberg lettuce) -- Lowfat dairy products -- Eggs -- Olive oil -- Lean meats (especially fish and poultry) -- Peanut butter (no sugar added and no trans fat) -- Whole grain breads/cereals/pasta -- Fresh fruits (anything that ends in "berry" is best) Here are a few other tips: 1. Replace soy protein with whey protein -- doesn't contain female hormones and is GREAT for building muscle if you add strength training. Which leads me to my next tip... 2. Strength training is a GREAT way to boost testosterone levels. Just don't overdo -- no more than every other day. 3. Be sure to get enough protein in your diet. At the very least, you should be eating 0.8g of protein for every pound of body weight per day. So if you weigh 150 pounds, you should be eating at least 120g of protein per day. 4. Also make sure you're getting enough healthy fat. It should make up 30% to 40% of your caloric intake. Best sources of healthy fat are: avocadoes, eggs, fish, fish oil, flax seed, flax seed oil, nuts, and olive oil. Good luck!

Question: What is good of Artificial food compared to Natural food? Actually I am getting ready for a debate defending "Artificial food is better than natural food". I need some points to structure my speech.

Answer: Artificial: Cheaper, mass production, can be biologically engineered to have less calories, sugar, fat, etc. but more nutrients, vitamins and minerals added. Easier for developing countries to afford. Neg. Natural: more expensive to grow/produce. could be unpasturized --this is funny cause i'm actually totally against artificial. I hope you support nat. foods and this is just for a debate assignment.

Question: I have a Bullmastiff who has food allergies, I have tried several Natural Foods, does anyone have advice? I have a 2 year old Bullmastiff who seems to develop a food allergy about 5 months after he is eating any dry dog food. I have tried Nutro Natural Choice, Nature's Recipe, Costco Lamb & Rice, ect. The vet suggests Benadryl, which is fine, but I need to find some food he will do well on forever. His ears, eyes and mouth get very red when he is allergic and he becomes itchy. Please post any advice you have, Thanks!

Answer: An allergy is very different to an intolerance. Many dogs fed on commercial diets have compromised or lowered immune systems which can lead to food intolerances. Most dogs will tolerate RAW meats without any problems - the proteins are completely different to those in cooked meats. Try an elimination diet for your dog - cut out ALL cooked meats products, grains, vegetables, fruit and dairy. Start by feeding raw chicken quarters or halves for about three weeks. Then add some chicken livers, giblets etc to the diet. Only add one new protein source every few weeks and only one at a time - most people start with chicken and then move on to beef or pork. If you join one of the rawfeeding groups on yahoo, there are many people who can provide support and advice. I hope the links help.

Question: since when is milk and cheese a natural food to eat? "Vegetarian diets that include milk/egg are healthy. The vegan diet is decidedly unnatural and unhealthy. But, such Earth Muffin fads are sorta like Nature's way of adding a little extra chlorine to the gene pool, if you know what I mean." --yahoo user i'm not necessarily saying a little bit once in a while is bad, but how exactly is milk and cheese a natural food for humans to eat??milk's for calf's and cheese isn't exactly natural!

Answer: Natural means non-synthetic and occuring in nature. Cheese is usually processed- it doesn't occur in nature. But the process by which we make cheese is natural in that you don't have to grow it in a lab. Milk on the other hand is perfectly natural. It comes straight out of the cow and humans can drink it that way without altering it at all. Our milk nowadays is pasteurized, but that's to keep it fresh as it travels long distances. If you had a cow, you could drink it straight from the cow (although you really ought to boil it first). There is nothing synthetic or processed or added to it. It's natural. What you meant to say (I think) is that it isn't originally meant for humans. The cow has milk to feed her calf. This is true, but most things we eat were not originally meant for humans. Most vegetables do not naturally grow- we plant them and harvest them to meet our needs. We don't eat only the things we find naturally growing without our involvement. Likewise, most of the fruit and veggies grow to serve the purpose of reproduction for the plant. Do you suppose an apple tree grows an apple for the purpose of feeding you? No. It grows the apple to have seeds that will fall and grow a new apple tree. You alter your environment by planting the tree where you want it to grow and then picking and eating the apple. It is no different with the cow. It doesn't have milk for the purpose of feeding you, but you can drink it. Eggs are the same way. They exist to hatch chickens, but you can eat them just like you eat an apple tree's "egg", the apple.

Question: People, what are your thoughts of carmine being used as an all natural food coloring for vitamin C tablets? I just noticed Sunkist has carmine listed as their ingredient for all natural food coloring for one of their vitiman C tablets. Vegans and vegetarians what are your thoughts over vitamin C being made that isn't being vegetarian and/or vegan?

Answer: When I discovered that carmine is the carapace of an insect used in food coloring and coincidently that it was being used by a line of products that I represented I was horrified and brought it to the attention of the CEO, the VP and Formulator of the products. It was immediately removed from the ingredient list with apologies and thanks for bringing it to their attention. No sane manufacturer wants to make his products unacceptable to the huge and growing vegetarian population. They want to make money. Help them. Tell them to remove the offending substance and alert the rest of us as to where you find it. There are many companies that provide wonderful vitamins without resorting to food coloring of any kind. And please remember that synthetics are not recognizable by the body as bio-available. So make sure that your vitamins are organic, and all natural..
