And is (more) testosterone good for you?

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.

[-] vassafb@piefed.social 1 points 3 days ago

That doesn't make sense to me. The difference would be noticeable depending on the country you live or season you are in.

[-] OhNoMoreLemmy@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah, it was from a list of factors that contribute to an overall decrease. That doesn't mean that it affects everyone in the world, just that it is part of the reason for some of the decrease.

[-] vassafb@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago

Turns out they have some solid data backing it up. Even for seasonal decrease in testosterone production in the hot months...

MAGA is evidence of this

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?

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 days ago

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

[-] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 10 points 6 days ago

Fuck that Trump loving bigot.

[-] T156@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

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

Elegant solutions, silver linings, etc.
