Does taro contain a natural steroid?

[penterson9]

I have tarot twice a week , I love it I replaced potatoes for taro when I can. Reading online a few days ago about it's nutritional benefits, some how I ended up in a web reading it has a natural steroids in it, I was wondering how true or false that is. Plants have a lot of powerful chemicals so I know this can be possible.

Taro is a root vegetable similar to potatoes.

Taro is also the name of the Canadian pharmaceutical company that manufactures steroids and prescription drugs. I think whoever wrote that article got confused.

There are no steroids in any root vegetables like taro, potatoes, carrots etc.

Where did you even read this?

Vegetables are not steroids lol. Otherwise you would see it in every guys diet

are you talking about flavonoids?

This is quite funny. There are some foods that will promote your natural testosterone production, but there are definitely no veggies or fruits that will contain steroids as such. After all, these are human hormones, so unless we are talking here about GMO's...this is not possible.

I haven't heard anything like this before. Typically we worry about hormones in dairy due to the way the cows are fed and injected.
