The Candy Man can't get it up

Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Fitness, Nutrition & Supplements, Men's Health

The Candy Man may mix things with love, but he may be doing more harm than good in that department. Consider a recent study from the University of British Columbia, which found that a diet high in sugar can lower testosterone levels, not only making it harder for men to get and maintain erections, but also zapping their sex drive. All those sweets drive triglycerides up, cause sex hormone-binding globulin to plummet and testosterone to go MIA.

The journal Urology Times published the results of a separate study on the effects of high blood sugar on sperm, revealing that sugar-rich diets contributed to 20 percent more cases of mutation than what was found in men who followed a healthier diet.

So much for chocolate being an aphrodisiac. And for The Candy Man having an active sex life. And for me coming up with a clever way to end this post.
