Yeah I know, that's why T levels in the USA has dropped by 20% in the last 20 years and obesity is rapidly increasing.

Pretty sure obesity is increasing because people are sedentary and eat like shit.

Testosterone is known to go down in obese people so I think you have your cause and effect reversed there.

obesity, the fat produces eostrogen compounds, thats why it also reduces pregnancy chances too,. thats why its not safe for obese people to be pregnant.
