Lithuania's 'sinful' sauce unleashed

A Lithuanian food company said May 6 it had started production of a new "sinful" sauce intended to spice up the sex life as well as the palate — a testosterone-boosting ketchup.

"The new product labeled 'Sinful' is the first Lithuanian sauce which increases sexual attraction, sexuality and encourages secretion of hormones," the Vesiga company said in a statement.

According to the company, the ketchup is flavored with Mexican peppers and some unidentified herbs, which together with zinc should help unleash passions.

Zinc has been shown by studies to affect levels of the male sex hormone testosterone, and its deficiency can cause a low sex drive, low sperm count and even impotence.

"Many nations in the world are known for their dishes increasing men's potency and inducing desire, but this was not true in our cuisine to date," the company's production director, Robertas Neimontas, said in the statement.
