New study shows Testosterone Levels in American Males are Dropping Dramatically. Why?

Hi. I am time challenged so didn't read the whole thread, so perhaps my answers have already been mentioned. Marajuana lowers sperm count. And estrogen is found in a whole host of food products, mainly milk, and perhaps even eggs. Estrogen may, in fact, be found in many food products. And it will most definitely lower sperm counts.

From my research: The use of anabolic steroids, coc aine, alcohol and marajuana affect sperm count. So do certain diseases. www.mayoclinic.org...[/url]

Celiac disease. A digestive disorder caused by sensitivity to gluten, celiac disease can cause male infertility. Fertility may improve after adopting a gluten-free diet.
Certain medications. Testosterone replacement therapy, long-term anabolic steroid use, cancer medications (chemotherapy), certain antifungal and antibiotic medications, some ulcer medications, and other medications can impair sperm production and decrease male fertility.

And further:

Industrial chemicals. Extended exposure to benzenes, toluene, xylene, herbicides, pesticides, organic solvents, painting materials and lead might contribute to low sperm counts.
Heavy metal exposure. Exposure to lead or other heavy metals also can cause infertility.

And lastly:

Health, lifestyle and other causes

Other causes of low sperm count include:

Drug use. Anabolic steroids taken to stimulate muscle strength and growth can cause the testicles to shrink and sperm production to decrease. Use of coc aine or marijuana might reduce the number and quality of your sperm as well.
Alcohol use. Drinking alcohol can lower testosterone levels and cause decreased sperm production.
Occupation. Certain occupations might be linked with a risk of infertility, including welding or those associated with prolonged sitting, such as truck driving. However, the data to support these associations is inconsistent.
Tobacco smoking. Men who smoke might have a lower sperm count than do those who don't smoke.
Emotional stress. Severe or prolonged emotional stress, including stress about fertility, might interfere with hormones needed to produce sperm.
Depression. Being depressed may negatively affect sperm concentration.
Weight. Obesity can impair fertility in several ways, including directly impacting sperm and by causing hormone changes that reduce male fertility.
Sperm testing issues. Lower than normal sperm counts can result from testing a sperm sample that was taken too soon after your last ejaculation; was taken too soon after an illness or stressful event; or didn't contain all of the semen you ejaculated because some was spilled during collection. For this reason, results are generally based on several samples taken over a period of time.

Also, overheating: don't use your laptop on your lap, and stay out of saunas and hot tubs.....lol.

It's funny, maybe it's just age but I went from eating junk food to mostly a organic food and my sex drive collapsed. I started gaining weight too. I'm not obese by any means, I'm still in the mid-healthy range. But it's been jarring. I had a very active sex drive and no porn addiction or anything, then once I turned thirty it just collapsed. Coincidentally or not, it's when I began eating mostly organic foods.

Millennials eat organic food more than any other generation. They also eat way more soy, though, and less red meat proteins.

So on to my conspiracy theory: if you're the NWO who do you want breeding? Who do you want not breeding? The common answer would be intellectuals and rednecks respectively. But I'm thinking it might be the opposite. The NWO elites don't need intellectuals, they need laborers. So you teach GMO's and other such foods are bad. You teach veganism and other vegetarian diets that are high in soy. The rendecks don't care or even hear it. The intellectuals eat all these things. Intellectuals already have fewer kids anyway, killing them off entirely is pretty easy over a few generations.

There’s a number of studies which concluded recently about sugar consumption and testosterone impact. In many of them as little as 10g of processed sugar dropped testosterone in males by 25% for nearly 24 hrs.

Keep in mind this was processed sugars not those naturally occurring in fruit for example.

It sounds like your metabolism is changing hence the weight gain.

a reply to: hopenotfeariswhatweneed

I think much of it is age related, but if it is isn't then it's likely diet related.

Above my pay grade.

Yea I saw something on that. It could be when the USA prohibited the trade and selling of either prairie oysters or Black Bear gallbladder, liver, bile and testicles are prized in Chinese medicine.

Those guys will eat anything for an erection.

Well have you taken a look at some of those "males" whom must have followed the NWO transitioning program successfully? Better looking than "real" women and holy smokes Batman, they could use the ladies room and NO one would ever know including Mick Dundee of Crocodile Dundee "clutch and grab: days

Yikes!

When I saw Obama riding a girl bike in mom jeans and licking an icecream ... I KNEW the Juicebox thing was real! Making frogs gay and stuff...

So chicks like chicks with the optional male attachment option. I get that. Its Bitch Nation. Most march in parades protesting whatever. They get to dominate and have themselves pleasured at the snap of their fingers. Plus no housework and cleaning . Just 24 /7 bonbons. I thought slavery was conquered?

I dont care whos doing who... as long as its legal and all.. but IF you march in a parade I do have the right to laugh at your assless chaps. Bitch Nation?? Like heck. I saw massive drag queens in platforms. No butch or sassy lipstick lesbo will ever match the state of fascination/envy at make up application skills and balance on heels/height/snappiness that a 6.5 foot tall drag queen inspires. My small town hosts quite the lgbtq+whatever parade and hootenany. I saw portly lesbians swimming in the fountain in front of my courthouse and marveled at them not being beaten and tasered. I could throw a penny in and be arrested and fined.

Dont even get me on the shrill sassypants tree frogs that took over my local park. All around the pond.. not one croak but a LOT of ribbith ribbith...

a reply to: Advantage

Those are the ones that either could NOT afford the meds or surgery or are just DNA butt ugly so they go scarecrow. Yikes two sweat hogs rolling in the water fountain must have been disgusting. At the end of the day its like we live in an animated comic book world as in so many freaks are running around among the Villains who control all of society.

Then they get into the Satan sheet and then go nu clear.

So how to fix? We cant as they now own us.

A large reason for the drop in testosterone is men's behaviour has been engineered to change. In short we are doing far less testosterone raising activities. From Kindergarden boys are discouraged from displaying any aggressive behaviour. We play far less sports, we are now living in a society where physical prowess is no longer necessary to be successful at most things.

Doing things such as playing team sports will increase testosterone levels. Just hanging out with groups of men talking trash to each other will raise testosterone.

For a personal example I dont really swear too much around my wife but after i have been hanging with my buddies for a night my wife reports I am all amped up and Im dropping f bombs like dambusters. Testosterone has increased just by being around guys.

Men used to have to compete against other men for women out in public, and every successful strategy would increase testosterone. Nowadays its just done on the phone.

This could be tested scientifically by checking testosterone levels in sports stars, or maybe by testing those guys who play street basketball in america every night...I am betting their testosterone levels are just fine.

I'm not saying this is the only cause of testosterone level drops but its definitely a large factor.

Incidentally have you noticed that while boys are brought up being discouraged from behaving in a way deemed 'unsuitable'..(which can become unhealthy for a boy, if they dont get to channel their excess energy in a productive way) girls are not required to modify their behaviour at all....which is resulting in a much more feminised society. Which is good for girls, but bad for boys.

This is all just speculation I could be wrong about everything I just said

a reply to: JeffVader

As a girl who was encouraged to modify literally all my behaviours, I would disagree with that specific part of your statement.

Girls are constantly required to modify their behaviours.

“That’s not very ladylike” was a constant thing, at least when I was a kid; and for the boys it was “boys will be boys”, “man up”, “don’t be gay”.

So I think boys and girls are each manipulated behaviourally in respect to their generational mores.

ok fair point I agree wiith what you said...I stand by the rest of my points about testosterone dropping though

a reply to: JeffVader

I agree. Less need for testosterone = less testosterone.
