Hi bg bailey. Wow, apparently I’ve set the cause back! Sheesh.

The evidence that erectile dysfunction can be caused by meat eating:

Clinical Researchers Dr. Neal Barnard & Dr. McDougall talk about this often: “Eat Yourself Impotent”

http://www.drmcdougall.com/misc/2008nl/may/fav5.htm

The Actual Studies:
Ma RC, So WY, Yang X, Yu LW, Kong AP, Ko GT, Chow CC, Cockram CS, Chan JC, Tong PC. Erectile dysfunction predicts coronary heart disease in type 2 diabetes. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2008 May 27;51(21):2045-50.

3) Kloner RA. Erectile dysfunction: the new harbinger for major adverse cardiac events in the diabetic patient. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2008 May 27;51(21):2051-2.

so THERE :P

Hey Joshua- I really do appreciate the sentiment of the article, however the study link you provide does NOT state that a diet high in meat may be linked to erectile dysfunction, but clearly states it may affect the QUALITY OF SEMEN: “Frequent intake of lipophilic foods like meat products or milk ***may negatively affect semen quality in humans, whereas some fruits or vegetables may maintain or improve semen quality.***

Please don’t hurt your credibility – or the cause – by mis-using/mis-quoting scientific research. I have a hard enough time getting my boyfriend to eat his veggies! :)

Erikka, I bet your banana bread was fantastic! Sometimes you have to tell people “you eat vegan food all the time, you just don;t call it that.”

Thanks everyone else for the kind words!

Thanks for this, my dad doesnt understand why Im vegeterian but supports me. I made a vegan banana bread that had tofu in it to replace the eggs and he didnt even notice the difference (of course I didnt tell him what was in it…lol).

Well said Joshua! Too sad that the common perception of filling meals is meaty meals. Even sadder than men really do get the short end of the stick on this particular series of stereotypes. Thanks for reminding us that being powerful means making great choices for ourselves, our world.

Bravo, Joshua! I hope that you consider publishing this in the New York Times or another publication more widely read. We need more strong men to voice their opinions loud and clear! Bravo!
