Modern men's testosterone levels are dropping, potentially due to trans fats found in many foods. Trans fats are created by adding hydrogen to liquid vegetable oils. Although the FDA banned the addition of partially hydrogenated oils in 2015, they are still present in foods like microwavable popcorn, pizza, cookies, crackers, french fries, and cake. Studies indicate that diets high in trans fats lower testosterone and sperm quality in both male rodents and humans. Trans fats increase inflammation and lower HDL cholesterol, a crucial building block in testosterone synthesis. To reduce trans fat exposure, limit processed and packaged foods like chicken nuggets, pies, margarine, and non-dairy coffee creamers.
