It's odd that "low Testosterone levels" (as in "lower T levels compared to ...") is automatically considered to be something bad (by male readers). High T-levels are connected with higher susceptibility to inflammation f.x.

Low testosterone is pretty bad... fatigue, mental fog, low sex drive, weak muscles, ED, etc. I have low test and it's not something that I consider normal. The difference between low and high T is night and day. It greatly affects the well being.
so all the husbands in the world have weak muscles and mental fog ... ? :D

that's why I wrote my comment precisely as I did. the article is not about low T levels but comparatively low T levels (comparing to single guys)

Nah, I wasn't making that link but I see what you meant now in your post.
> so all the husbands in the world have weak muscles and mental fog ... ? :D

uh, yes, a lot of them do. it's just seen as 'normal' to be a lackadaisical limp-wristed fatass "man" these days.

Lower, not low.
that's because it is bad. men need normal levels of testosterone. anyone who tells you otherwise has another agenda they're pushing (take a wild guess).
