We have known this too. Here is Reuters in 2007:

quote:

Men's testosterone levels declined in last 20 years


quote:

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A new study has found a "substantial" drop in U.S. men's testosterone levels since the 1980s, but the reasons for the decline remain unclear. This trend also does not appear to be related to age.


The average levels of the male hormone dropped by 1 percent a year, Dr. Thomas Travison and colleagues from the New England Research Institutes in Watertown, Massachusetts, found. This means that, for example, a 65-year-old man in 2002 would have testosterone levels 15 percent lower than those of a 65-year-old in 1987. This also means that a greater proportion of men in 2002 would have had below-normal testosterone levels than in 1987.

The cause is not clear, but I will speculate that it's the chemicals.


I also believe this is why the LGQBTPPPEEE is growing.

The cause is very clear. It’s because of toothpaste and tap water. Fluoride turns people gay

It’s because most men don’t workout and sit inside at a desk all day. And they eat only crappy processed food made with fake ingredients.

The answer is pretty fricking simple



quote:

According to Harvard Health Publications, obesity is linked to low testosterone levels in men. A 4-inch increase in waist size increases a man's odds of having low testosterone by 75%, while 10 years of aging increases the odds by 36%


quote:

Yes, obesity can increase estrogen levels in men. This is because obesity increases aromatase activity, which converts testosterone to estradiol. This results in decreased testosterone and increased estrogen levels. The increased estrogen levels can intensify the metabolic effects of estrogen receptor beta.


Men need to put the donuts down and lift some weights. It’s not plastics or fluoride in the water bullshite.

It's due to a lack of movement and high fructose corn syrup. I work in a school. While I don't promote teen pregnancy, these kids aren't fricking like we did in the 80's-90's.

I’ve long thought the lower testosterone in children has been a cause of school shootings

I kid you not. Plastic will lower testosterone levels in men. Lots of research. Throw away your plastic storage bowls and buy glass.

Mates it's essential that you take zinc, avoid sugar and all processed foods, and do compound movements with weights at the gym regularly

Too much soy, too little physical activity, too much sugar, too many 350 pound women with purple hair who could not arouse a blind man

Cereal has a lot to do with it. Go down that rabbit hole and you will find some truth.

The cause is not clear,
This podcast - Almost 30 - on hormonal birth control made the claim that 50+ years of the pill has greatly contributed. The theory is that woman on the pill essentially have altered sex drives and they select for more beta males (with lower testosterone). And so that is who has been procreating and causing gene-pool-wide drops in T.

If you have daughters/young women in your life just casually going on hormonal bc, you should listen to this and rethink your position. I am convinced that it's basically just outright bad for them.

Sleep is also a major factor. Chronic sleep problems can easily drop T by 15% or more.

People ingesting microplastics is a big part of it. Micro plastics whenever we drink water from plastic bottles is one route of exposure.

Microplastics act like estrogen in the body. This is well documented.

I think it's just a combination of things. There is some truth to the environmental/chemical issues. I just don't think our bodies are meant to be processing the amount of chemicals/metals/plastics/soy that goes into our bodies.

I think the bigger issues is modernity and feminism. Modernity had created too much comfort and leisure, amd feminism has killed masculine drive to build, protect, and provide. I would be willing to bet if you tested men in male dominated fields like construction, first responders, plant workers, etc. There T levels are going to be higher than men who work and compete with women all day. Also men in traditional marriage arrangements with traditional husband and wife roles, where the wife is in a supportive role, not a combative role... the man's T levels are pretty high. Men who don't look at porn or scroll the internet likely have lower T levels than men who do not.

The Universe 25 experiment was an interesting study. Worth looking into. They provided everything for the mice and gave them maximum comforts. The mice eventually they lost the drive to reproduce, and the entire colony exterminated itself.
