Plants simply aren’t butch enough for men, per a recent study from the University of Southampton in the U.K. According to the press release from the Royal Geographical Society, the study revealed that even men who don’t like meat, experience digestive issues with meat or have been...
A new study from the University of Athens suggests that olive oil could be a good remedy for tackling erectile dysfunction — and no, we’re not talking about squirting some on your hand and using it to manually inspire a woody (although that’s totally okay, too). So is this...
Every fruit is healthy—especially when you consider the fact that nearly 90 percent of Americans don’t eat enough of them—but still, some are healthier than others, and damn it, I’m feeling pedantic. And so, I asked Dana Hunnes, senior dietitian at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center,...
We all know there’s a certain satisfaction in blindly uprooting one or two nose hairs—or as many as can be corralled between the thumb and forefinger before the light turns green—and then celebrating with a massive, bestial sneeze. Trouble is, it turns out, this could kill you....
Low-carb (and even no-carb) diets have been all the rage as of late, promising weight loss by essentially mimicking starvation. But a recent study found that it’s moderate consumers of carbs who are actually less likely to die an early death, rather than those who consume either...

Two decades ago, I was a 15-year-old meathead awash in a sea of meathead jargon. I tipped the scales at 240 pounds of puffy, puberty-powered muscle — big and “swole,” but not quite “buff” and certainly not “ripped” or “cut.” I referred to the pizza slices I downed by...
Most of us regard cooking oil as nothing more than a means to a non-sticking end. But (and this is a big, prepare-to-gag kind of but) the average American consumes a whopping 36 pounds of cooking oils per year—more than three times as much as in the...
The limb-numbness test is the perfect litmus test for deciphering how much I’m willing to sacrifice at the onset of a romantic relationship. For example: If I really like the person I’m spooning, I’m willing to go full numbness and sacrifice all feeling in my arm or...
Here’s a fact that might make you wonder why Willy Wonka isn’t president: Americans consume 2.8 billion pounds of chocolate each year, or approximately 12 pounds per person (about 1,200 Hershey Kisses). Most people would agree that eating this much chocolate is terrible for us: Commercial chocolates...
