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.

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.

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.
