Testosterone levels have fallen in Men for the past 2 Decades

In one of the largest study of its kind, Travison et al. report a population-wide decline in Massachusetts's men’s testosterone levels during the last 20 years that is not related to normal aging or to health and lifestyle factors known to influence testosterone levels.

They found that testosterone concentrations dropped about 1.2% per year, or about 17% overall, from 1987 to 2004. The downward trend was seen in both the population and in individuals over time.

The decline is consistent with other long-term trends in male reproductive health, including decreases in sperm quality and increases in testicular cancer, hypospadias and cryptorchidism.

The strongest association was observed in same-aged men from different sampling years. For example, a 65-year-old in 2002 had lower testosterone levels than a 65-year-old in 1987.

Lower concentrations of testosterone can increase a man’s risk for age-related diseases, depression and infertility.

Also, the younger and older men in the study experienced similar hormone declines that dropped faster than would be predicted by normal aging.

This is pretty important. Over the past 3 years, I tested in the ~350 ng/pl range on two separate occasions (age-correlated Testosterone range of a 85-100 year old man). While I can build muscle relativily easily and am fairly strong (which I credit to decent genetics), every other marker suggests low T (no energy, fitful sleep, flat mood, no sex drive, poor memory etc). I'm only 37. This all started after taking Propecia/Proscar (anti-androgen) for hairloss in my late twenties. Before Propecia, I was very normal.

Have a local doctor and will go on Testosterone Replacement Therapy soon. The food, water and drug supply are contaminated and assault male reproductive health. BE WARNED.

For openers stop using plastic containers of food including water bottles, soft drinks etc. Stop using plastic food containers of any sort, refrigerator storage, even dry foods storage. Absolutely don't microwave food in plastic. The worst are the packets that go into the microwave creating pressure inside. May as well be infusing the food with reproductive disruptors. Use glass storage and cooking vessels. Use a glass lined thermos for drinks or buy in glass bottles. Take a minute and look over this random info. If u have time google around for bpa damage to male sex organs in Chinese factories, it's horrendous.

What's interesting is that the U S male problems began appearing few years after these plastics came into general use. It simply wasn't kept track of early on.
Europe and Canada have banned more than the U S. Another example of corporate curruptors and politicians eating at the same table.
It gets worse. These are pics of ocean gyres.

This is the plastic garbage that finds it's way into the oceans. It accumulates into these huge whirlpools where currents come together. They're all over the worlds oceans. The plastics eventually deteriorate from the UV rays into small particles and drift to the bottom. If you've ever seen underwater films that have particles that look like snow drifting about those are dead fish debris. One dead whale can feed other fish for 100 yrs. Fish mistake these plastic particles for the fish debris and eat them. The chemical BPA is not excreted by the fish but remains and we consume it if we eat the fish. All this is well known in science. Nobody can predict what future generations will suffer due to being sold down the river by those we pay to protect us. It's suspected the abnormalities seen in the last 20 yrs , autism etc, can be pinned on these poisons.
We need to take care of our selves, apparently nobody's doing it for us.

This more than anything else explains the shift left in this country.
More...
The internet is causing the shift to the left.

Edit: and demographics, oops.
