A quick literary search suggests there is no evidence linking a vegan diet with a reduction in testosterone. In fact, most studies found an small but significant increase in testosterone with specifically vegan men.
A simple google search shows nothing that backs up your claim, odd that you would have made it.
I used words like “not proven to” and “probably” as reasons to express doubt, but yeah it looks like it was a recent controversy with men’s health magazine and several studies going back about at least a decade disprove it citing a very clear inverse correlation with higher fat concentration in meats.
Odd that you would concentrate on the one claim OP himself says is a weak link, especially when the influence of veganism would be so much less than age and obesity. Odd that you wouldnt look into the connection of age/obesity and T-levels.
Being a vegan, I like to stay abreast of the literature, and I’d never heard of a link between veganism and low T-levels. I quickly checked it, there’s no link (in fact the opposite seems more likely), so it seemed like an unnecessary dig at veganism for no reason. I don’t have a vested interest in any of the other claims OP made, so that’s why I picked at that one. You don’t have to fact check an entire comment to have an issue with one point.

Nah it’s cool it’s good to question everything. Especially in this day in age where the fake is being manufactured faster than the real.
