Hmm... An interesting paper on the effect of cold exposure on lipid profiles and CVD consequences. Mostly on mice, but they took a look at a few humans, too.
As the paper notes, "We should emphasize that it was notoriously difficult to conduct the cold-exposure experiment in human subjects, and the majority of requested individuals were unwilling to collaborate on this project" :-D
Excellent, this gives me another comparative advantage. I wonder how much I can get paid for taking ice baths for science.
Wim Hof makes money doing extreme endurance, mostly related to cold.
He believes that some moderate cold training is good for people because changes of temperature make the blood vessels more flexible, though he pursues extreme endurance because he's fascinated by it..
You'd be introducing an extremely specific self selection bias into the experiment, and likely not one that the researchers would be expecting to have to deal with ;)
