The Environment and Testosterone
As if there wasn’t enough threatening the endocrine system, environmental chemicals are now seen to be hidden saboteurs. Persistent application of pesticides and insecticides on crops attack the endocrine system and testosterone in particular. Phytoestrogens attack the body’s natural ability to produce Testosterone.
The publication of the “Testicular Dysgenesis Theory” highlights this issue as a real potential source of some of the problems men face as they grow older.
Is there a clue here for the reason Testicular problems are increasing in society? There seems to be little attention paid by regulating authorities when granting licenses for endocrine chemical saboteurs to be implanted in foods and water supplies.
If the general health of people is to be improved, it is thought more attention needs to be paid to this man-made antagonist. We therefore call for authorities to reconsider licenses for widespread use of chemicals, which are known to attack the endocrine system.
