The average testosterone levels of people between 20 and 40 years old today are lower than those of their grandparents when they were 50 years old. What's going on? What is this due to and how can we solve it? What does science say about it? In this article we are going to see what is the main cause of this problem and how to easily solve it. First we are going to analyze the reasons that are currently usually given for this decline, what the internet gurus and broscience tell us about what is happening, and then we will see if this is confirmed by science and how to act accordingly.

Furthermore, what does seem likely is thatif these chemicals were really affecting us, the effect would be very slight, and we will see why below. But first, let me inform you, especially those who live in Europe, that this issue is highly regulated, for example, parabens in hygiene and cosmetic products have clear limits so that the quantity is not dangerous, and they must also be clearly indicated on the label. Also, due to the bad press that these compounds have had, most companies have decided to stop using them, often displaying a label that indicates “free of parabens”, so they are no longer so present in our daily lives. Also in agricultural products produced in Europe, there is very strong regulation on which chemicals can be used and which are not allowed, so it is not as simple as farmers or companies using the chemicals they want even if they are harmful.
