A 26-year-old Chinese man grew boobs because of the hormones in fried chicken, according to doctors

 

Fancy some delicious fried chicken?You probably won’t after reading this. A 26-year-old man has apparently developed breasts because his go-to snack is laden with hormones.

Mr Li, a Chinese college graduate, visited doctors after his chest began to change. Medics told him to lay off fried chicken wings and drumsticks and add more fruit and vegetables to his diet, as the hormones in the white meat were the reason behind his inflated bust, reports Chinese news site en.people.cn.

Gynecomastia – the enlargement of breast tissue in males – can be caused when an imbalance of oestrogen and testosterone occurs, but there are no reputable studies which officially link the condition to diet.
