Is there any research that confirms this. I ask because I hear it everywhere. But it feels too convineant an excuse to make people give blood :) (voluntarity in most cases)
- flukus 9y agoI've always wondered if it's a viable wight loss technique. There must be a certain amount of energy that goes into blood production. And losing wight by sitting still for a while is the holy grail. Market it right and the billionaires might even be able to charge us to give them blood.
- ddeck 9y agoThere's a 650 calorie/pint figure cited on many, many sites, but I can't find the original source for it. Some sites claim it comes from the Mayo Clinic, others list the source as the University of California San Diego, and so on
- option_greek 9y agoI wonder if we also age faster while doing this. Assuming cells go dormant after dividing a number of times, won't this repeated regeneration have a deliterious effect on them.

- throwaway049 9y agoSpeaking of sobriety, another benefit for donors is the option to get very drunk very cheaply immediately after donating. Disclaimer: I am not a doctor and this is not medical advice.
- Eerie 9y agoI just thought it was funnily relevant. You know, drink enough blood and you just might turn into wight...
- taneq 9y agoDo you see any undead around that poster? No? So it seems to be working, hmm?
- maxerickson 9y agoSomeone quoted a calorie figure. It isn't large enough for it to be a viable technique, the body takes some time to restore the lost cells so there needs to be a decent period between blood lettings. Even if the figure were low by 10x it would be a pretty bad way to lose weight.
