Mice That Eat Yogurt Have Larger Testicles

Duh.

[mtrott]

Hmm, I really like yoghurt, so maybe I’ll run my own clinical trial. I don’t have much hair, so I’ll have to look at other parameters to judge the efficacy.

"They then supple­mented half of each diet group with vanilla-flavored yogurt."

It's the vanilla not the yogurt! LOL

This study is useless. They should have used plain yogurt.

I feel sorry for the mice. Even they can't escape TSA. Mice and men.

They fed them banana yogurt, really.

WTF realy nice.

"The findings could have implications for human fertility. "

This is bad news considering the gov'ment wants to give out free contraceptives.

Yogurt should be banned. Should be a controlled substance. It'll save the taxpayers lotsa money.

Slow down FRiend. Please.

LOL! This story confirms something I heard when I lived in Kreuzberg, Berlin.

There’s tons of Turks in Kreuzberg and Neukölln districts, and if you’re there for any length of time, you will inevitably see them drinking Ayran, a Turkish yogurt drink.

One time, after I’d gotten to know some of my neighbors, I asked them why they’re always guzzling the stuff, and the answer I got, “Don’t you know? Yogurt makes you a sex machine; your girlfriend or wife will think you’re a pornstar if you drink it!”

I thought he was just joking, or possibly drunk. Guess he was right; I learn something new every day, and usually from the unlikeliest of sources.

So eating yogurt will give you testicles the size of mice?

Goodness, Graceness, Great mouse balls of fire.....

Anyone have that pic of the chipmunk w/ “big nuts”?

[wetgundog]

[~Vor~]

I think we should send a few cases to the GOP...just sayin’

[Daveinyork]

Who paid for this study?

“I think we should send a few cases to the GOP...just sayin’”

ROFLMAO

[Tainan]

You mean this one...

[McGruff]

You beat me to the post.

[Bigg Red]

They should have used plain yogurt.

&&&
That’s what I was thinking. And I am assuming that, in addition to the vanilla, the yogurt had sugar added to it.

I would think that a group of professional scientists would know better than to introduce more than one variable.

[randita]

How do you weigh testicles?

Who paid for this study?

Look out behind you in the refrigerator aisle.
