Causes Of Low Testosterone In Men - What's The Deal?

We have seen an unbelievable decline in testosterone levels for the male species. Experts are considering it to be an epidemic and asking the question; what is the cause of low testosterone in men? Trying to find the answers myself, I came in contact with leading expert Stephen Harrod Buhner. He is the author of "The Natural Testosterone Plan," and has some fascinating research that can help men get back their manhood.

The Epidemic Causes Of Low Testosterone In Men

When a man gets older he has to deal with low testosterone, and wants to increase testosterone. It's a natural process, but one that isn't as recognized as the issues women have with estrogen. By the time we hit the age of 45 the human reproductive period basically ends. This is when we see a shift in a man's testosterone production. Women have been able to tackle their menopause problems head on, but it's a different story for the male species that can't increase testosterone.

What is Andropause?

If you're not familiar with andropause; it's equivalent to menopause, but deals with the male side of things. While we normally see a change in men in between 45 and 55 years old, today it has started occurring faster and sooner. Scientists believe that low testosterone levels have to do with environmental pollutants. Plus, other male species that revolve around animals (e.g. frogs and panthers) are also seeing a reduction in their testosterone levels.

What Environmental Pollutants are causing Low T Counts?

There are two major issues with the environment that have a huge impact on the low testosterone levels of men. Pharmaceutical drugs in the water supply are one of the main culprits. We are also finding that industrial pollutants have a role in it as well. Most of us know that the air, soil, and water is contaminated, but we aren't sure how this affects our bodies.

Pollutants from the Water supply

When we take pharmaceutical drugs our body reacts to them. Unfortunately there are times when the body doesn't know what it is, so the goal is to excrete them out. How do we do it? Well, through urination and eventually it ends up in our water supply. While there are several waste treatment plants around the country, none of them have a way to recognize these substances. It also means they don't know how to deal with them.

What about Industrial Pollutants?

Making matters worse; low testosterone also revolves around female hormone replacement therapy. These are excreted out into our water supply daily and by the millions. Even though several scientists have said that there are not any harmful traits, epidemiologists and endocrine researchers think differently. They say that these levels are really in the billions and even the trillions. Slowly but surely these tiny levels are shifting the male reproductive system. Add in industrial chemical pollutants that mimic estrogens in our water supply and it all leads to low testosterone levels in men. Nowadays we are seeing it occur at a rapid pace and reaching younger ages.
