I was surprised to read recently how breast reduction for men has become big business in the US. Guess it is all the sugars we eat that might be behind the growing problem. "Bosom buddies" http://www.trackyourplaque.com/blog/2010/10/bosom-buddies.html excerpt:

Along the same lines of stronger bones and increased testosterone, recall this study on Dr. Cannell's sight. I suppose the larger skeletal man might be the one that hangs out in the sun frequently...

Aw, thanks guys for the follow up. Sounded too good to be true.

Thought this was interesting, so thought to post. http://nephropal.blogspot.com/2010/08/hilter-had-jewish-and-african-roots.html

I guess on the weight lifting boards vitamin D3, the sunshine vitamin, has become a popular supplement for raising testosterone levels. D3 is misnamed as it is really a hormone or maybe better said a pro-hormone. I'm not sure how it works at increasing test levels, but remember this article...

Thanks, my jewish brother in law had a good time looking them over too.

Discover Blog has an interesting, more detailed write up on Jewish genetics this morning. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/gnxp/2010/06/genetics-the-jewish-question/

Ah, interesting. Yeah, in my genealogy work, I ran across non jewish family members getting hitched. I think in general that was more common in the past, in western society. I'm guessing there wasn't the taboo that there is today. Thinking about it, I remember discovering that a great...
