In the past couple of days a new meme has popped up about eating raw onions to massively increase testosterone, based on a study taken on rats where they were fed 4-5g onion juice per kg of bodyweight per day, which lead to a 314% increase in testosterone, as well as a large increase in sperm count and a few other facots, over 20 days. The study is real and already 8 years old, see the pubmed link, and it has weirdly never been followed up on. The study has been discovered by halfchans /pol/ a few days ago which lead to some twitter eceleb taking screenshots and laughing about them, and then spread on to various bodybuilding forums and 4/fit/.

The study was using 1g/kg of rat bodyweight, so you could use that. Im eating 200g daily for good measure and i weigh about 80kg.

Yes, juicing them and adding something strong like lemon juice helps a lot.

This would be your own testosterone, so you're dodging a lot of side effects. Also it's cheap as fuck and you don't have to trust your shitty third world source with not fucking you over.

>>129472

>don't eat them raw

The study used raw onions, and cooking or frying onions destroys several components in onions like for example quercetin which has been linked to increasing sperm count in seperate studies, so it's not unlikely that whatever's leading to this effect would be destroyed as well. Also, i think if cooked or fried onions would have the same effect, it would have been noticed by more people or be generally known, since they are common. Who the fuck eats a lot of raw onions though

>>129474

>>129475

Im not claiming shit, just laying out the facts. It's a hypothesis that this also works on humans, but you really have nothing to lose, onions are healthy in all sorts of ways, and a lot to gain literally. Results on rats are in many cases very close to the results on humans when it comes to nutrition, pharma and toxicology, and it's very weird that this has never been followed up on.

 No.129486

It's important to discuss methods and mechanisms when interpreting studies such as these. I did a quick succession of searches and onions may be creating these effects through at least two mechanisms: lowering endotoxin through germicidal effects and inhibiting prostaglandin D2 possibly implicated in baldness btw synthesis with its quercetin content.

The endotoxin lowering effects can be achieved by many substances, such as charcoal, ground white button mushroom soup, and starch avoidance. This is in fact another point for the consumption of simple sugar sources such as fruit juice, milk, and honey and avoiding things like fiber, potatoes, bread, and rice as doing so is one of the most effective long term endotoxin prevention techniques.

While quercetin inhibits prostaglandin D2 synthesis it also has estrogenic effects by both increasing the bioavailability of estrone and estradiol while inhibiting their disposal by the liver. This may mean the main benefit of quercetin could be achieved by dietary avoidance of polyunsaturated fats Prostaglandin D2 is made from arachidonic acid. and by supplementing vitamin E and aspirin.

>>129486

Forgot one thing. Rats on standard lab diets are given plenty of polyunsaturated fats, so inhibiting prostaglandin D2 synthesis is probably a big deal to animals without much opportunity for food variety from living in the wild. You can get a tripled testosterone result very easily when the baseline diet isn't very impressive.

Should you cook them or eat them raw?

The short answer:

Both, but cook them lightly.

Like garlic and crucifers, onions contain enzymes that get activated when you cut the vegetables. In a cascade of actions, the enzymes produce sulfur-based compounds that fight cancer and protect your DNA. This chemical reaction is the plant’s protection from predators, explains Dr. Irwin Goldman, an onion expert and professor at the University of Wisconsin. When insects bite into the plant’s leaves, the enzymes get to work and generate pungent chemical warriors.

As you know from previous posts, you have to first cut alliums (the onion and garlic family) to break their cell walls and release the enzymes. Then you have to let the vegetables sit for a while so that the sulfur compounds have time to develop.

How long? Nobody really knows for sure, but Goldman suggests leaving onions for 30 minutes. (A garlic researcher I spoke with suggested about 15 minutes for garlic, and another sulfur expert thought both times were too long. Until science has a full answer, I’m hedging my bets and cutting well in advance.)

Then, either eat the veggies raw—probably the best choice in the case of garlic. Or quickly cook onions.
