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.

So only in ppl who are unhealthy and/or in unhealthy situations. Not really shocking.

Everyone have testosterone concerns? From what I read :

Others said that such a conclusion would be premature. “Obesity and diabetes could easily account for all of this,” said Jayasena

Once they see issues in healthy ppl ill be concerned.

For the small % mentioned in the article. Most of it is just having unhealthy practices.

Others said that such a conclusion would be premature. “Obesity and diabetes could easily account for all of this,” said Jayasena

And global climate change is going to do waaay more damage than mere testosterone issues.
