Altoids!!

[KikiCal]

Weird question but are altoids bad for boy sway? I eat them all the time and just realized they're peppermint!!

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes avoid them.

Is there anything to do to counteract them quickly? I'm due to ovulate soon and I eat them a lot at work.

[The Anchor]

HUH! I would never have thought of this. I've been chewing a lot of gum lately...peppermint!

[atomic sagebrush]

Gum also bad for blue due to the fake sweeteners

[The Anchor]

Yah, I stay away from artificial sweeteners altogether...I get my gum at the health food store, it's made with xylitol. My daughter has developed a new "thing" for gum, and it's the only stuff I'll let her chew.

So did I kill all my hard work or is their still hope?

I think you're okay...the peppermint is thought to lower testosterone and maybe lower blood sugar levels, which is why the girl swayers are drinking all that tea:) If you're worried, here's an essay on food that will raise testosterone:

Thanks. I hadn't read that in awhile and thankfully I'm eating everything on that list. That makes me feel a little better!!
