Some researchers believe that the male hormone androsterone, which is also found in celery, attracts women. It is believed that androsterone is released through perspiration after eating, so be sure to choose the right setting when eating celery.

A load of rubbish?

Probably rubbish.

I\'ve been experimenting with celery and celery extracts. Celery can have a breath odor when eaten but it doesn\'t seem to last so doubt that it is excreted through the lungs like alcohol.

I\'ve taken the extract but it seems to be a soporific - makes one sleepy. I doubt that the \'rone would make it through the digestive tract and then out the apocine glands or skin. Many steroids are digested by the liver via first pass conversion.

The highest and best use for celery is to make a man\'s semen taste better. I haven\'t gotten to do a field test on this yet but I\'ve got a tenative date with a lady who might offer an objective opinion.

In the name of science, wish me luck.

I\'ve seen this mentioned before in love-scent\'s newsletter.

Check out the August 99 issue.

I\'ve read that celery contains androstenone, (like truffles) not androsterone. I suspect we can chalk this report up to some confusion over spelling.
