    Rising levels of obesity and diabetes are expected to play a part, but the team behind the work suggest that environmental factors such as endocrine-disrupting chemicals – which can be found in various household items – and global heating could also be factors in the apparent striking decline.

      endocrine-disrupting chemicals

      that bullshit junk science just refuses to die.

      global heating

      That makes no sense.

        Having pleasantly cool nuts is good for your sperm production. I guess it probably does something similar for testosterone production.

    Given that the study was done on data that started at 1972, how do we know that testosterone levels weren’t just really high in the 70s?

      Or that part of the drop isn’t just from more accurate testing methods being developed and used.

      It’s an average, and testosterone levels halved after Chuck Norris died.
