Nicotine Is Good For You - What??

Smoking i.e. Nicotine is bad for you, right? Or is it?

Here is a study that may shock you, but in this clown world, are we really shocked by much anymore?

Here goes. Decades ago when cigarettes came out, the nicotine wasn't necessarily bad for you, it was all the other stuff put in the cigarette that made it bad. Additives, namely pyrazines, made the nicotine more palatable and addictive. Before the nicotine became adulterated with all kinds of other chemicals, it wasn't viewed as bad for the body. It promoted focus, reduced anxiety, suppressed hunger and gave you energy. Recent studies even show how nicotine can assist in healing wounds and help with disease (shocking, right?).

It is also interesting to know that nicotine is associated with higher testosterone and sperm counts. However, once you take that nicotine and put it in an e-cigarette cocktail is highly reduces testosterone and sperm count. No wonder there is a recent push to convert people to e-cigs. We can't have men be men with all that toxic testosterone running around... (that is sarcastic in case you aren't sure). This (in addition to the attack on red meat, chemicals in foods and soy in EVERYTHING) is why we are shifting to a more passive society and testosterone levels now are much lower than decades past. It's sad to think a grandpa may actually have more testosterone than his grandson.

I'm in no way promoting smoking or encouraging people to light up, I've never been a smoker and never will be. I may investigate wearing a patch though... I'm just sharing another way things have been changed and we've been misled. Please feel free to do your own research.

Blessings,

Lynn
