Title: Does drinking a pregnant woman's urine make you lose weight?
Post by: Farah Jarjous on 07/02/2009 11:30:02: Farah Jarjous asked the Naked Scientists:

Hi,

I have a question. Does drinking a pregnant woman's pee make you lose weight since it has human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG)?

I hope that you would post the answer to this question

Thanks

What do you think?

Post by: testtest on 08/02/2009 12:13:14: I used to inject this stuff(HCG not pee BTW [^]) after a cycle of roids in my younger days to kick start endogenous testosterone production once again. It did used to make us feel a bit leaner and I mean a small bit so yes it probably does burn some fat but I and everyone I know who injected this stuff regard it as a complete waste of money with possible consequences decades later. Would I do it again - absolutely not!

And I also know that people will pay a lot of money for this stuff - its got to cost at least £200 to get a pregnant bird to piss on you in soho [;D]!

hi there,

I read about how HCG injections can make you lose weight. I don't know how though!

Me either

Quote from: Gregorian on 27/02/2009 19:49:44
I also read about how drinking pee, as disgusting as it sounds, is actually good for one's health, skin, hair, etc

hmm I fail to see how something the body expels is 'good' for you.

Quote from: Gregorian on 27/02/2009 19:49:44
so that is why I wanted to ask if drinking pregnant woman's pee would help losing weight, or does HCG HAVE to be injected!?

no it doesn't. hCG occurs naturally during pregnancy.. injection are usually to assit the fertility process during IVF and such procedures.

Quote from: Gregorian on 27/02/2009 19:49:44
but it seems like it depends on the person according to JnA's reply

thanks anyways

maybe.. I don't have a large enough group to compare, but all people I know that used IVF (and therefore had hCG injections) talked about weight gain.

Yes, directly after you puke your guts out. That should evacuate your stomach resulting in some weight loss..................Hey?

I understand that most pregnant wmen donate the stuff to the sewerage treatment systems for free.

Also, while you are worrying about drinking urine, don't forget to ask how much of the water in the lower reaches of a river has already been through someone's kidneys recently.
