No problem unless you care about high sodium, monosodium glutamate and sodium nitrate.  Read this, you may never eat another hot dog:

Hey, make it even worse.  slap it in a white breat hot dog roll (simple carbs) add tons of ketchup (Ketchup contains Methylparaben which is a paraben which stimulates an estrogenic response in the body) and slug down a beer.

I read about parabens in Muscle and Fitness some time back (I dont have the issue # handy, sorry)-- Look for the ingredients that end with "paraben". ex: methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, beneylparaben.  Studies suggest that these chemicals have an effect similar to estrogen in the body which can lead to higher fat and lower muscle mass.  Mayonnaise is another big offender.

Wtf? I've been eating ketchup like crazy.
I thought it was good, cause it contained some anti-oxidant. Read it was good against cancer.

That is true, however, you’re referring to this article which, like I’ve said before, is only providing part of the story.


Estrogen lurks
Muscle & Fitness,  Sept, 2005  by Dwayne Jackson
If you're concerned about maintaining a healthy physique, carefully read the Ingredients list of your favorite shampoo, soap and toothpaste. You should even check all your hygiene and prepared food products. What are you looking for? Parabens--a group of chemicals widely used as preservatives in cosmetic, self-hygiene and food products. While paraben is the common name for this class of chemical, it may appear on labels as methylparaben, propylparaben, ethylparaben, butylparaben and benzylparaben.
Parabens affect the body in a manner similar to estrogen, a female hormone; high concentrations in males can lead to higher bodyfat, lower muscle mass and gynecomastia. Research confirms that parabens bind to estrogen receptors and induce effects comparable to those of estrogen. In one British study, benzylparaben applied to the skin of immature female mice increased the size of their uteruses, a result similar to that caused by pure estrogen. Some studies have even found intact parabens in human breast tumors.

The above is a grossly overbroad statement.  CERTAIN of those products do contain parabens.  In fact, I think it was Muscle and Fitness that in the last few months identified the specific chemicals to look for on labels and to remove those products from your shelves.  Chemical accumulation in the body is a cumulative process, and if not eating something something like mayo, or avoiding a certain poduct helps avoid the accumulation of those chemicals, it makes good sense to do so.  The poster wanted advice on what to mix with Tuna.  Mayo, even low fat mayo is simply bad advice when there are healthier alternatives.

No one is saying parabens are a good thing, but understand what you're saying and present it rationally.  Suggesting guys ban catsup, mayo and other condiments from their lives is absurd.

  “Recent evidence from over a dozen scientific studies has indicated that several types of parabens can bind to the estrogen receptor and cause estrogen-like responses when tested in laboratory animals or in a variety of tissue cultures. In studies using animals, the estrogenic effects were not found when fed, only when applied to or injected into the skin. There is no comprehensive research regarding the long-term effects of low-dose paraben use.

In these studies, the researchers looked at twenty (20) human breast tumours and found synthetic chemicals known as parabens in eighteen (18) of them. The level of parabens in four of the tumours so high that it could have had a damaging biological effect on cells. It is the first time parabens (para-hydroxybenzoic acids) have been detected within tumours, suggesting that the man-made chemicals accumulated in the breast tissue after being absorbed through the skin.



So, if you're that concerned about it, look at your hygiene products.

Chemical accumulation in the tissues is a cumulative process, and if you wish to diminish the estrogenic effects, as any MALE bodybuilder would be WELL advised to do, you will eliminate those products (yes, ketchup and mayo) that contribute to that effect.  As I said before NOT ALL hygenie products have paraben chemicals in them which is a grossly overbroad implication.  I've read articles advising bodybuilder how to recognize the advesre products and eliminate them form your cabinets.  I stand by my post.

By the way, it's not absurd.  They are easy to avoid and there are plenty of alternatives.  To use your logic, to ban white flour or refined sugar from your diet is absurd because there are so many products available which contain it.

If you are getting into contest condition, one thing, but just training and even staying lean, man give yourself a break 2 teaspoons of ketchup aint gonna kill your metabolism or even add  a pound onto you. Then again I live in Chicago and the beef here kicks ass so it is nice to dip it in a little sauce every now and then. Stockyards!!!!

My goodness the whole ketchup thing AGAIN...

From experience my ex-boyfriend LOVES ketchup-would go through more then 1/4 cup with a hamburger.  If we ever went out and he had to use those little packets he would get pissed because he needed like 20 of them.  He looks AMAZING-very "manly" even though he isn't dieting he hovers at about 6% or less, always has a 6-pack.  He has been eating ketchup this way since he was a wee little boy and he somehow turned into a big 190 lb (natural) muscled man.  Having a little (or more then a little) ketchup is ok and won't turned you into a woman.  Like someone else mentioned if you are contest dieting you may want to think about it but getting so crazy over ketchup seems silly.  I think the hot dog is the bigger offender and yes he ate those on occasion as well.

This is not about HFCS or fat.  It’s about parabens in condiments and the fact that there is no reason to eliminate them from average persons lifestyle.  There are far more important things to worry about.  I think Mick said it best.

Please stop making assumptions about me.  I have been around here long enough and demonstrated a fair amount of knowledge that is generally respected.  I have never claimed to know everything and generally do not participate in topics for which I have no background.

Really, what background do you have on testosterone levels, why are you inserting yourself on an issue which doesn't effect your biology (your profile by the way says you are a 130 year old female).  Is your beard not growing as quickly as previously, are your T levels falling?  The fact that you got so worked up on an issue which has no direct application to your situation speaks for itself.

And I SERIOUSLY doubt you've reviewed the literature I listed to verify your statement regarding the studies dealing with skin exposure.  Further, I don't care one whit what others think your reputation for knowledge is.  In my limited exposure to you, you misinformed someone about a supplement near and dear to my heart (twice) and inserted yourself into a debate that involves male not female physiology.  Not really impressive from my boat.  If guys want to heap praise upon you because most guys will kiss the butt of a woman they think may be attractive, that's their issue, not mine.

This has nothing to do with male vs female physiology; it’s about the “Ketchup contains Methylparaben which is a paraben which stimulates an estrogenic response in the body” statement which has been misinterpreted. {Side note:  Parabens have a large effect on females – read the studies and the relationship to breast cancer}.

What you have failed to recognize or acknowledge is the fact that  "Since 2000, 13 research studies have shown that various types of parabens (methyl, ethyl, propyl, benzyol and benzyl) act like estrogen in animals and in tissue culture.  However, the estrogenic activity occurs only when parabens are applied to the skin, not when ingested"  http://www.breastcancerfund.org/site/pp.asp?c=kwKXLdPaE&b=1203361

(just one link to what is repeatedly echoed in the scientific community)

Is your beard not growing as quickly as previously, are your T levels falling?  The fact that you got so worked up on an issue which has no direct application to your situation speaks for itself.

Someone got a little worked up.


And I SERIOUSLY doubt you've reviewed the literature I listed to verify your statement regarding the studies dealing with skin exposure. 

There go those assumptions again.
Still waiting for some contradictory evidence.


Further, I don't care one whit what others think your reputation for knowledge is.  In my limited exposure to you, you misinformed someone about a supplement near and dear to my heart (twice)


Take that issue to the thread(s) in question.

and inserted yourself into a debate that involves male not female physiology.  Not really impressive from my boat.

Again, not a gender specific issue.

If guys want to heap praise upon you because most guys will kiss the butt of a woman they think may be attractive, that's their issue, not mine. 

Please stay on topic and leave my butt out of it.

It’s easy to read an article in a magazine or on the net and trust the author has done their due diligence and presented all of the facts, but we all know that doesn’t always happen.

Yeah I am, "but" it also depends on what you consider to be "ground" meat.Hamburger is a "ground" meat.It is ground from meat that you would call steak.See my point?

Good difference between steak and ground beef. Also note that all servings were based on 3oz...hardly anyone only eats 3oz of ground beef when they eat it.

Well, there's a little more to it (my personal reasoning) Aj.  My father was in the meat business for MANY years.  With all the  :o stories I heard, it's a wonder I'm not a vegetarian.  :P  Also, when meat is ground it has a million times more "surface" to quickly spread any bacteria (think e-coli) than a slab of that same meat.  That's why they tell you to cook hamburger and other ground meats well done, but that same recommendation does not apply to a steak or pork chop.  But I digress, it's just a "personal" thing...

Ok, but my point Arnold is that beef is beef.Just depends on which part of the beast the meat was cut from.I used to work in a supermarket & asked the meat cutter that once & that was the way he described it to me.Maybe he was just a lazy butcher?
