[QUOTE="quad, post: 16178871, member: 17952"] Being overweight / eating too much and not exercising enough are also contributing to low T - you're right. However go read the link I posted - it is written by two doctors. There are numerous articles about anti-bacterial soap and the effect on testosterone. Here is an extract: Now back to the SOAP part of this matter. Over the past three decades there has been a [i]dramatic[/i] increase in the use of anti-bactericidal chemical additives in personal care products.
