there's a lot i could write about this, but essentially more cholesterol = more testosterone. its likely a bad idea for overweight or sedentary people, but for active and fit people, consuming 4-5x the suggested daily amount of cholesterol is going to be a boost to testosterone without adverse effects. the way i see it, all an egg yolk needs is some sperm and heat to become a living chicken. it has basically all of the nutrients necessary for the birth of a mammal.

i do think there are some long term drawbacks to a high cholesterol high testosterone diet, and i dont mean heart disease. take this with a grain of salt because there didnt seem to be conclusive evidence, but ive read that high calorie diets and higher testosterone shorten lifespan. something to do with shortening telomere length or decreasing time between cell divisions, and since cells have a finite number of divisions before ceasing mitosis, lifespan is shorter.

that said, i think having a slightly higher calorie count, leading an active lifestyle, and eating nutrient rich food is overall a good thing, and im not too worried about shortening telomere length, i assume that if AI doesnt enslave our species that we will have the technology to live many hundreds of years by the time our generation is 60 years old.

great post thanks daut.
Eggs are awesome, not sure why I neglected them

ya i read the study you are referring to although it was never tested on humans because it was very unethical. but almost all mammals deprived of food and on a diet of 50% of normal calories lived longer.

i think telomeres are still really misunderstood and is just a guess as to why humans age. people always mention the shortenings of chromosomes/dna but still, what makes our bodies age? how exactly does puberty work? our dna is the same from birth to young adulthood and the dmg done to telomeres aren't pronounced till 60. and even then telomeres is junk, nonessential dna anyway
