Maybe this explains why ethnicities who eat the most tomatoes - italians, mexicans, indians etc are the puniest.

While those who eat the least like the swedish and germans are fucking huge.

Because we all know there are no muscular italians, mexicans, or indians in the world…[/quote]
lol at the “puniest” …Hilarious!!!

This is one of the most retarded threads to date…

so the reason i aint swole is because i put ketchup on my food!! :open_mouth:

We were lucky to win the Cold War what with Reagan declaring ketchup a vegetable and tanking our T levels.

Rats are mammals though. Their biology works in a similar way to humans.
That’s why the experts always use rats to experiment on.[/quote]

Their biology works in a similar way to humans?.. They feed them alfalfa, all of them are lab rats or somewhat domesticated, and it takes about 1000 pages of paperwork to experiment on one. If we did it on monkeys PETA would be all over the place, and that’s the reason they use rats and mice. I’ll keep eating my tomatoes.

Assuming you don’t roid and are big and tall (6ft +), it’s because you’re italian-american and you have a significantly different culture/lifestyle/diet to your Italian friends.

I am Italian, period. I was born and raised in Rome. Do you have any other questions?

calmati fratello,IM Yolked e solo un pezzo di merda bocchalarga :)…[/quote]

Words after my own heart. Tell me if you think this guy looks “small” to you.

Meet “Bulldozer.” All 6’6 and 335 lbs of him.

Beware!

Actually I picked those particular countries as an example for a reason.
If I had picked east asian or black countries it could be argued that genetic influences would effect the differences in overall average height/size. However seeing as how italy, mexico and india are causcasian nations then generally speaking, genetic differences for size and strength would be minimal.

There must be another variable which explains why the said ethnicities have such pitiable short stature. So it is logical to assume that dietary variation must be ones of the key differences.

Check out the available statistics. The average MALE height in india is 5’3. The average FEMALE dutch height is 5’8!

That means, on average even dutch chicks are bigger and stronger than most indian guys!

That’s some effed up logic.

Constantly stressing over things that potentially lower testosterone, can lower testosterone and create catabolic cortisol.

Relax and take things in moderation.

I eat tomatoes everyday and I’m fucking huge.

Best words on this thread!.. The rest reeks of FAIL!.. I just finished my marinated mozzarella with fresh tomatoes and basil!..

OP do you really have to take an interesting article/study like this and then throw in a bunch of messed up logic like this…?? Really? Come on. Come on.

I hope there isn’t any truth to this since my knew diet plan involves eating tinned tomatoes 3 times per day!!!

You’ll be fine. The testosterone from the lamb’s meat should be more than enough to make up for it.
