Low-fat diet linked to lower testosterone levels in men
2020-01-13
EurekAlert via instapundit
January 10, 2020 - For the many men diagnosed with testosterone deficiency, losing weight can help increase testosterone levels. But certain diets - specifically a low-fat diet - may be associated with a small but significant reduction in testosterone, suggests a study in The Journal of Urology®, Official Journal of the American Urological Association (AUA). The Journal is published in the Lippincott portfolio by Wolters Kluwer.

"We found that men who adhered to a fat restrictive diet had lower serum testosterone than men on a nonrestrictive diet," according to the report by Jake Fantus, MD, of the Section of Urology, Department of Surgery, University of Chicago Medicine and colleagues from the Department of Urology, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, and the Department of Surgery, NorthShore University Health System. "However," the researchers add, "the clinical significance of small differences in serum T across diets is unclear."

#6  I understand that cans are lined with BPA, which is a synthetic estrogen developed in the late 19th century. Keeps the cans from disintegrating. And those soft baby teething rings, too. Lots of things you wouldn't realize.

#3  Soy Boy (slang): Term used to describe males who completely and utterly lack all necessary masculine qualities. This pathetic state is usually achieved by an over-indulgence of emasculating products and/or ideologies.

The origin of the term derives from the negative effects soy consumption has been proven to have on the male physique and libido.

#1  This is more complicated. Food items are different. Genetically engineered. Plastic containers for everything you consume increase estrogen. Soy products also. On and on. Low Testosterone levels have been noticeable for some time now. Using Vanitas perfume doesn't help.
