A team including Kevin McGraw an assistant professor at Arizona State University and Daniel Ardia, of Franklin and Marshall
College in Pennsylvania has showed that carotenoids – the pigments that give carrots the orange and corn yellow color –
eliminate the negative health effects induced by testosterone.

Testosterone is known to lie behind the sex drive in both males and females, besides boosting male sexual traits that are

species) a bright coloration, that has the role of sexual signal,

"The reason typically is that long tails and fancy dances incur costs. Testosterone, for
example, has been thought of as a double-edged sword as it relates to sexual signals,

When supplementary testosterone was administered, the blood carotenoid levels dropped, while the immune activity increased. "These findings
show that there are nutrient specific mechanisms by which animals can avoid the immune costs of testosterone elevation and still keep their
