Wanna know how much testosterone is coursing through a man’s veins?<\/p>\n
Pay attention to how much Tabasco he douses on his eggs.\u00a0At least that’s the theory put forth by researchers at the University of Grenoble-Alpes in France.<\/p>\n
According to their\u00a0new study,\u00a0titled: “Some Like It Hot,” men who prefer spicier meals tend to have higher testosterone levels than those who don’t.<\/p>\n
To arrive at this conclusion, researchers studied the eating habits of 114 men (aged 18 to 44) who were presented with a plate of mashed potatoes and optional condiments of pepper sauce and salt.<\/p>\n
In the end, they observed a strong correlation between testosterone levels (measured from the subjects’ saliva) and predelictions for spicier food.<\/p>\n
“A positive correlation was observed between endogenous salivary testosterone and the quantity of hot sauce individuals voluntarily and spontaneously consumed with a meal,” they wrote.<\/p>\n
They also mention that each man’s preference for salt \u2014 the control substance \u2014 didn’t produce “specific correlations” in terms of testosterone levels, which are linked to a man’s sex drive and aggressive tendencies.<\/p>\n
So the next time you see a man emptying a bottle of Rooster Sauce on his scrambled eggs, it’s not wild to assume he might have tons of testosterone.<\/p>\n
That, or you’re eating at an establishment that serves bland, terrible scrambled eggs.<\/p>\n
