This is a true story of a military man who grew breasts and went to four doctors before someone figured out that his soymilk habit was the problem. A case report on his condition was published in the May/June 2008 issue Endocrine Practice. The article also addresses the popular conception that soy is "healthy", and the fact that soy products are used in infant formulas--to the detriment of the developing children.

Apples and Wine
Aug. 2nd, 2007 01:48 pmSomething a girlfriend sent me:
Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree.
Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of
falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take the apples from the
ground that aren't as good, but easy.
The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality,
they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right person to come
along, the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.
Now Men.... Men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it's up to us women to stomp the shit out of them until they turn into something acceptable enough to have dinner with.

The BBC posted about a new study today that found a correlation between low testosterone in men over 50, and the cluster of conditions known as metabolic syndrome (high blood sugar, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure). I wonder if the 33% higher death rate associated with low testosterone could be related to inactivity and poor diet that results in metabolic syndrome. In the article, men are advised to "stay active" in order to prevent low testosterone. "Keeping a good body shape will help maintain your testosterone levels." The study also indicated that testosterone levels in men of all ages are decreasing.

Macho vs Nerd: Men in Yoga
May. 20th, 2007 07:31 amDuring yesterday's yoga class Al had us pair up a few times with others for assists on poses. One time I worked with Joni and a new girl, assisting each other doing backbends. One person did the Urdhva Dhanurasana, or upward facing bow, while the two assistants provided traction between the shoulders and hips, and helped the heart come forward by pressing between the shoulderblades. It felt really good and we all enjoyed it.

It is also known as the primary sex hormone in men, and causes voices to deepen and facial hair to grow. T is associated with increased risk taking or adventure behavior, and agressiveness.
