Here’s some news you can use. It’s directed at men, but
it’s relevant for women too.
Researchers from MIT have just discovered that eating yogurt
will make you a better man. To be more precise, yogurt will give you some
serious swagger … if you are a male rodent.
Does the research apply equally to male humans? Since many
women are persuaded that many men have a lot in common with rodents, we would
have to say Yes.
My own survey has suggested that an equal number of women believes that men
have more in common with dogs than with rodents, so we anxiously await the MIT
studies on dogs.
The research has found that the probiotics in yogurt—whatever
they are— enhance virility.
A mere lab assistant made this momentous discovery. The AP reports:
One
eagle-eyed lab assistant noticed what was giving the males a surplus of
machismo. Their testicles were far bigger than those of their peers–5 percent
larger than mice who ate a normal diet, and 15 percent bigger than mice who
were fed junk food. "The changes were not just superficial," says Shawn Radcliffe at Men's Fitness. "Yogurt-eating
mice inseminated their partners faster and produced more offspring." The
yogurt-eating male mice were also notably slimmer, with softer and shinier
coats, too.
Of course, this means that women should act counterintuitively and reject
men who eat a lot of junk food in favor of men who eat a lot of yogurt. It's in their Darwinian self-interest.
But, what happens when female mice eat more yogurt? It
enhances their feminine charms. Thankfully, there is no politically correct
gender-bending in the rodent world.
The AP reports:
Females
also reaped the mysterious rewards of yogurt. They had healthier fur, and were
able to produce bigger litters of offspring.
Co-researcher Susan Erdman offers a scientific commentary on
those results:
"When
I saw those fur coats, I thought about adding more yogurt to my
diet."
Of course, the study does not tell us how much more yogurt a
human male or human female should eat in order to produce similar results. We are reasonably confident that extra yogurt is not going to harm you.

I'm going to start feeding my dogs yoghurt. Thanks for the tip.
