Scientist on Wednesday broke down some of the hipe surrounding a few
celebrity tips that are floating around for the new year and they
included some very intriging techniques to say the least. This included
the wearing of bracelets to boost energy to reabsorbing sperm.
In what is becoming an annual event, scientist have once again gotten together and debunked what they felt were blantent abuses against science and logic. It's called the "SAS" or the Sense About Science campaign. The campaigns mission is to bring some lite on fact and fiction of some of these tips given by celebrities in an effort to help the celebrities get an idea of where they are going wrong as well as help the public make sense of celebrity claims.
For example the SAS noted that soccer player David Bechham and Prince Williams fiancee Kate Middleton have both been spotted wearing a hologram-embedded silicone bracelet which it's makers claim can improve energy and fitness.
The SAS also listed the diet supposedly used by Super Model Naomi Campbell and actors Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher which followers of the diet eat only maple syrup, lemon and pepper only for approximately 2 weeks. Campbel told TV host Oprah Winfrey in and interview "It's good to clean out your body once in a while".
But according to SAS "Many of these claims promoted make no scientific sense whatsoever."
For example pop start Sarah Harding is said to have made a statement to Now Magazine that she crumbles charcoal over her food saying "it doesn't tates of anything but that it absorbs all the bad damaging stuff in her body."
SAS in the meantime says that charcoal is known to absorb toxic molicules when used in a gas mask or sewage treatment system, but is "unnecessary when it comes to a diet because the bosdy is already quite capable of removing any bad damaging stuff."
One of the most intriging heath tips was that of cage fighter Alex Reid, who told the Sun Tabloid that he re-absorbs his sperm to prepare for a big fight.
According to Alex Reid "It's actually very good for a man to have unprotected sex as long as he doesn't ejaculate. Because I believe that all that semen has a lot of nutrition. A table spoon of semen has your equivalent of steak, eggs, lemons and oranges. Iam reabsorbing it into my body and it makes me go raaaaaahh."
John Aplin, a reproductive researh scientist at the University of Manchester commented to the SAS that sperm cannot be reabsorbed once they have formed in the testes. "In fact sperm die after a few days, and the nutritional content of the ejaculate is really rather small."
In conclusion the SAS has released it's own research of easy to remember health tips for celebrity wantnabees...
* Nothing is chemical-free: everything is made of chemicals, it's just a case of which ones
* Detox is marketing myth: our body does it without pricey potions and detox diets
* There's no need to boost: bodily functions occur without boosting
* Energy and fitness come from food and exercise: there are no shortcuts.
