Should men keep from becoming vegetarian? I've read about soy products affecting men's sperm (thus lowering the chances for them to get women pregnant). I've also read about veggie diet affecting (lowering) men's testosterone levels and thus libido (due to lack of zinc). If so, should men be more careful and not become veggie? Is there any truth in those studies I read about? I don't even know what to believe.

Chilly Willy replied: "Do you think soy is the main food of vegetarians there? Not. men can be vegetarians without problems as long as they eat the right foods. I'm comin up on my 10 years anniversary and i'm fit as a fiddle and can whoop ass when i need to."

timbo replied: "Men have the primal need and desire to kill and eat meat... just like any other omnivorous or carnivorous animal."

smarty replied: "The average Chinese person consumes 30x more soy than Americans do. There are like 100 billion Chinese people. Do the math. I've been veggie for 12 years and I have a wonderful daughter and a happy wife. You can find a statistic to support pretty much anything you want supported, but I am in far better shape than most dads and I credit the veg diet for a big part of that. Take a daily vitamin or eat some nuts if you're worried about zinc intake. I'm not much for conspiracy theories, but dairy and meat producers do spend enormous amounts of cash on studies that stress how much you need animal products. Try a little independent study: Go to a steakhouse. Look around. What percentage of customers is overweight? Now go to a veggie restaurant and compare. The British Medical Journal did a study in 1994 which showed vegetarians were 20% less likely than meat eaters to die before the age of 65, and 40% less likely to die prematurely from cancer. I'm a veggie and I plan on being there for my kid for as long as I can."

coffee_pot12 replied: "real men care about their health, long life, and virility.... the lie about soy products is put out by the dairy/beef industry... with the amount of hormones and antibiotics contained in dairy and beef products the men who still claim that real men eat beef; I am surprised they don't need bra's and can get it up with out Viagra!! and who would want to be with a guy that smells like a crematorium!! gag....that is what meat eaters smell like...."

herb_ivor replied: "There are studies that say certain food colorings, preservatives, underwear briefs, microwaves, etc. cause low sperm counts. The fact is no one knows what truly causes low sperm counts. It probably has more to do with genetics and toxic chemicals than any food."

veggy(2) replied: "You dont have to eat soy to be a vegetarian."

Hispanic! At The Disco suspended replied: "Meat also can cause men to become impotent. Then you have a lot more than sperm to worry about..."

namelesssss replied: "those are done by people who hate vegetarians... don't listen to them, i know many male veggies who are always horny... so don't worry ;)"

Jen D replied: "The largest of those studies was conducted with only 99 men who had visited a fertility clinic over the course of six years. They were asked to fill out a survey which asked them about the amounts of soy foods they had eaten over the previous three months. Such "small sample survey research" is notorious for slanted results, due to participants attempting to provide the "right" answers, and the unlikelihood that anyone could accurately provide details for what they ate three months ago. Such results could only be considered "inconclusive" and "indicating the need for further study," especially considering the dozens of studies conducted before and after that which found no correlation whatsoever. The financing of most "anti-soy" research has been traced to the meat industry, and an organization whose members are cattle ranchers and dairy farmers. Beans, nuts and whole grains have been shown to provide more than enough zinc to those on vegetarian diets."

Im turning 16 and im boy, if i start an anti estrogen diet will my growth plates still be open because ? estrogen is what causes growth plates to close and lowers testosterone there has been studies that taking estrogen blocker will delay puberty. i just wanted to know if started this diet i will lower my estrogen and increase my testosterone for another inch on my height. I just wanted to see if it will work because if we didnt have estrogen then everyone wouldn't stop growing. Would this be a good way in place of estrogen blocker pills

adriel_house replied: "Ok, don't take ANY pills. They really aren't good for you, and you won't believe me now, but they aren't worth an inch of height, even if you manage to get it to work. If you are 16, you've already HIT puberty, and your testosterone levels are spiking anyway. This is why guys get their growth spurts later than girls do. Regardless, you do have a max height that your genetics allow for. Look at your dad - you're likely to end up being 2 inches taller than he is. More if your mom is also tall, less if she's shorter. The best way to get your max height is to be careful when you work out. If you work out regularly to your weight limit, your muscles are going to thicken up, and will be very tight - this pulls on your bones, and keeps them from elongating as much as they could. Think of a thick rubber band - much stiffer than a thin band. Keep working out, but focus on stamina with a lower weight limit - your bones will thank you. As for diet - calcium and protein are your best friends. If your muscle tone improves, your bones and joints loosen up, and you make a habit of standing with your back and shoulders up (think at-ease posture in a soldier) you'll get about an inch of visual difference, EVEN IF you don't grow any taller."

lichman replied: "Actually, both testosterone and estrogen release estradiol, which is the byproduct that binds to growth plates and causes them to mineralize, so no, testorone increase would not be the way to go if you want to get taller. Ultimately, increasing either sex horomone early on could possibly stunt your growth. If anything, eat less fat and cholesterol which has been proven to lower both of these, and then you will grow slower, but ultimately reach a higher height if that is your goal."

Ways to Lower Testosterone Levels? Hi guys I'm 26 & mine are sky high & it's no joke. (I know this may sound like a blessing in disguise in relation to the notorious effects of levels being too low but it's not!) Generally I'm constantly horny I have to deal with it at least 3 times a day else I'm moody for no other reason, I never used to have that much chest/belly hair now I trim it. I'm just starting to exercise more which relieves stress & stimulates endorphins but it's not yet enough to counter my mood swings of aggresive feeling. But the main detremental effect high testosterone is having for me now is that somehow it converts to a chemical that causes male pattern baldness & I'm thinning out at the temples & this has to stop! It's a nightmare come true! I know green/white tea & apples contain something that counters this chemical as well as minoxidil (regaine hair loss ointment) But apart from getting enough sexual release & meditating to de-stress what else lowers testosterone? Does lots of weight lifting help? Are there any other things I can change in my diet? ps I'll be hella googling this as well but by asing here I may connect with others that may be able to relate & give me sound advice. No point telling me to live with the balding...by my own admission I've got a vain, shallow & self obsessed side to my nature which prob stems from being blessed with very nice looks & the thought of losing my hair kills me. Flame me if you like as I might expect some, but I'll just be looking at whatever new positive advice I might receive here. Thank you very much indeed. John Milton it really does, I've been told by my doctor & there's information on the net regarding it explaining the biological chemical process. Some say baldness has no cure but why are 'men' mostly so greatly affected?...seriously testosterone is the reason! Jenny by that do you mean take a cold shower? Sure, you wanna join me? lol x

marijuana and testosterone? i know smoking weed lowers my testosterone level.I workout 4 times a day and have a healthy diet plus i take supplements to raise my testosterone levels.i never eat junk foods i eat lots of tuna and nuts and steak and so on and i consume over 4000 calories a day with vitamins.my question is if i smoke only "ONCE" a week will it lower my testosterone or effect me from getting ripped and fit? remember i only smoke once a week and i dont smoke the entire thing just half and sometimes a little more than that.

n3w_guy1 replied: "You'll be fine i work out and smoke more than once a week weed more affects your brain than anything TECHNICALLY i don't think so. So you should be fine and personally you should smoke more weed NOT CIGARETTES.. I'm a Boxer and i know alot of Boxers who smoke weed and it don't affect them at all as neither for me so..But i would highly recommend for you to STAY with weed and nothing else NOTHING..."

Daniel D replied: "I have seen nothing as far as studies concluding that the Cannabis plant interferes with testosterone or other hormonal production."

low testosterone at 18? I just got my testosterone level checked and it came back at 221 ng/dl. i dont know how this could happen because i have an extremely deep voice and broad shoulders, but i do lack facial hair. I have been on a good diet and have been lowering sugar intake for awhile. What could be a possible reason for low testosterone if my voice is very deep for my age?

brandon replied: "u can take prohormone pills that elevate your testosterone..but youll have to work out at the gym as well and they make u really buff..take p6 red extreme"

Freemale replied: "Very low for your age- lab ranges vary from 250-850 ng/dL or 400-1080 ng/dL total testosterone, with an average testosterone level of 630 ng/dL for a man 18-25 - (round estimates). Does your doctor suspect you're still in puberty? If you are, then there's still time for it to increase. It seems like your doctor suspects something if he tested your testosterone level. Testosterone is more responsible for the development of some organs (i.e. muscles, "Adam's apple), whereas its chemical cousin dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is more active in other places (facial/body hair). Assuming your voice isn't "gruff" from thyroid problems, the deepened voice evidences masculinization. "Normal" (compared to the reference range) testosterone & "low normal" or "low" DHT could account for relative masculinization in some parts despite lack of hair development in others. Until you have a DHT blood or urine test, I don't think the cause of lack of facial hair would be immediately apparent. For some guys, it just takes a while to show up."

Why is it such a problem for doctors to give HGH? I requested to be given HGH due to a lowered testosterone level..I am very tired all the time..I have changed my diet to more foods with life and more fruits and fibers..increased my protein cut out lots of sugars and fats..and still feel tried like I want to sleep all the time... Any I was in california for a while and got about 6 months worth of HGH took it and worked out and felt GREAT more energy and lost a lot of body fat my skin looked healther and muscle tone was excellent...but I ran out and cant find it here..SO WHY ARE THE DOCTORS IN THE STATES SO SCARED TO GIVE SUCH A WONDERFUL DRUG?

train hard or go home replied: "because there isnt enough research on it they dont know what would happen to you in 40 years if you took it now and dont know the sides of hgh edit that makes sense(raven) idk what i was thinking when i typed this go with her answer"

Raven R replied: "Along with all the wonderful things that is does do, there are some serious side effects associated with HGH. It is produced in the pituitary gland naturally and promotes growth. It's primarily given to people with dwarfism! And it makes everything grow...bones, organs, muscles, etc. Keep taking it and you could be doing a Geico commercial with no make-up. Facial bone growth is a serious side effect. try taking some tribulous terrestus, it stimulates you body to produce more DHEA, thus increasing your body's natural luetinizing hormone, testosterone and estrogen. Yes, even guys produce estrogen. T.T. acts on your body naturally without the nasty side effects like HGH. Good Luck, hope this helps."

Plasmana replied: "It is not an illegal drug. It can only be prescribed to persons who demonstrate a clinical need for it. This would be normally for persons over age 40. Tests must reveal that you have one of these two conditions: Hypopituitarism (an underactive pituitary gland); or low IGF-1 blood levels (Insulin Growth Factor) which is secreted by the liver. First, I mean you know as well as I that you can't just walk into the clinic and demand that your doctor give you medicine. You need to have blood tests done to determine what is causing your low energy. There can be a hundred different reasons for low energy. It could be a lack of B vitamins or a problem with your thyroid gland or anemia or anything else. You cannot prescribe human growth hormones for yourself without proving that is your health problem. HGH causes DNA to produce an excess of protein molecules. This is not healthy for everyone. Yes, you can lift heavier weights and hit more home runs but this does not justify putting it on over-the-counter shelves so it can be abused by those who do not need it. Have your blood tested to see what's going on with your body from a medical standpoint and not your emotional need for a drug. If it comes back that you need HGH then that's great. If not, then you must accept the fact that this is not what your body is lacking at the present time. There are many many supplements and vitamins which can increase energy levels. This does not mean shooting down an energy drink or chugging down ten cups of coffee and 5 sugar donuts. Search online for natural energy alternatives. There are hundreds. And they are legal. This is just one. Taking B multi vitamins is another. Ask your doctor about Provigil. If you really don't want anything else except HGH then change doctors. Some doctors will give their patients anything they ask for. Some doctors are also fined and imprisoned for doing this. HGH is a great medicine... for those who truly need it."

Why do i get pain after masturbating? occasionally I get pain after masturbating. this normally happens about 1-2 minutes after i cum. im a virgin so its not std. i normally eat a pretty healthy balanced diet. i sometimes get drunk on the weekends. i also dip (tobacco) but not smoke. right now i masturbate about once a day, but i tried to not do it in highschool cuz of religious reasons, so i used to only do it 1-2 times a week. could this have made my testosterone lower and caused the pain? can any of these things be causing the occasional pain? i hear drinking lowers testosterone but i dont do it that often. does anyone else get it? btw im only like 20 so thats why im so worried i mean this isnt supposed to happen to me till im 40 or sumthing...

from zero carb to vegan? i have gazillion food intolerances that i am trying to cope with...first i went to zero carb sites and boards, read that bear guy`s story who ate nothing but meat...those guys were vicious about their belief that only good food for you is meat, the carbs make you sick. so i went zero carb, ate nothing but meat for a year and entire time i had chronic runs...i cant take it anymore...now i am thinking going vegan...i did it before and had no problems, but still those belifes that crabs are bad for you ingrained in my head so strong i am kinda afraid... ok vegans, is your diet helping your health or are you doing it beacuse of your moral stand? oh and is it true that it lowers testosterone levels in men?

Hannibal the Cannibal replied: "Vegan diets do not reduce testosterone levels in men. It's just a backhanded way of calling vegans sissies. I like this question because I can directly answer you from experience. I am a vegan, but chose this because I became disabled in the Marine Corps. I have a condition that cannot be cured, and the only option medical science tells me I have is to be drugged up for the rest of my life. No thanks. I happened upon a book that spoke about the correlation between our diets and the condition I have, and read that the best diet to manage my condition is a vegan and raw (50% of what you eat is uncooked) diet. So I decided to give it a try and it's helped me out. I'm never going back. If you want information on why it works, you can email me. Maybe some of what I've learned will help you. As for carbs, I lost 100lbs in about 10 months and was also a bodybuilder...aka, I've gotten in shape and can tell you that you NEED protein, carbs, fats, vitamins, and minerals. What you need to avoid is processed crap. Eat natural foods!"

drusillaslittleboot replied: "If you're significantly overweight, and eat a lot of soy products (a half-block of tofu or more) per day, there is one study that suggests that your sperm count is more likely to drop. Otherwise, veganism is totally safe. Most vegans do so for moral reasons, but at the same time, believe their diet is healthy. Because you've been zero-carbing it, you may want to ease into veganism. As a vegan, you get lots of fiber, but increasing your fiber intake suddenly can cause stomach cramps, flatulence, diarrhea or constipation. (Just as a quick addition - you can do lower carb veganism at first... just lots of healthy oils, greens, mushrooms, etcetera, and processed soy products or tofu)"
