RE: Sperm count at lowest ever for Western Men
Previous generations ate like crap, yea, but the quality of food was much better.
Little nutrition in our food with less minerals and vitamins. Apparently on traditional kids breakfast cereal for examplexample a study found that the cardboard had more nutritional value than the cereal itself.
Back in the day you went to the butcher and it was all natural meats. Natural pork suasage with natural casings, grass and hay fed needed that was naturally aged dry. Non GMO vegetables. Famlies used to also spend much more money on food. The cheapo prices when converted and taken within context of incomes of the time, your typical American family spent nearly double in food the average American does today.
Food in this modern age is pure shit. The only advancement is that calories have become so cheap that is extremely difficult to starve to death here in the west. You can consume dirty and cheap calories for pennies to keep you alive.

The modern Western man is depressed, takes little risk, and is generally speaking....a pussy.
Why would your body produce T In those conditions?
Is low T the result of those psychological issues or are those issues the result of low T? Maybe a combination of both? A causes B, which causes A, which causes B, and so on?
It's a good question. Where does that feedback loop begin and/or end?
I think in the near future science will source MOST physical maladies to an unhealthy state of mind.
For instance, the weakling who says "I'm so weak" is weak because he believes it in his mind.
A man of the same stature, muscularity, and CNS efficiency can much stronger because he believes otherwise.
There's plenty of reports of insane people in asylums performing absurd feats of strength because their minds are free of such constraints.

RE: Sperm count at lowest ever for Western Men
Don't know about sperm count as such.
Yet I do have some figures for testosterone that I find interesting.
Feb'16 blood test, just prior to my first (& only) amateur kickboxing bout. T = 16 nmol/L.
Lots of cardio, lots of kickboxing training prior.
Feb'17 blood test, after a years worth of more "strength & conditioning" / weight based training. T = 20 nmol/L.
In general I avoid food / beverage plastic packaging & soy as much as possible.
& I don't shy away from animal fat.
Plus I simply prefer the taste & texture of 'organic' / 'grass fed' / 'free range' products over more mass produced products.
Also supplement readily with D3, magnesium, zinc & now with fulvic minerals :

Granted I'd need to do a few more blood tests to determine a definite baseline for my T levels.
Yet I've generally felt more vigorous since switching to a "strength & conditioning" exercise format while also putting on ~10kgs of mass.

RE: Sperm count at lowest ever for Western Men
Shitty, stressful low-paying, long hour jobs + shit nutrition + shit exercising habits + no sex or little sex with a fat, lazy chick + bleak outlook on the future all tell your body the shit isn't worth living for.
Not rocket science.
I will be checking my PMs weekly, so you can catch me there. I will not be posting.

Not rocket science.
You want shitty, stressful, low-paying, long hour jobs and bleak outlook on the future? try working in a coal mine 14hrs/day, 7days/wk and living on bread, beer and potatoes. Yet our European industrial revolution forefathers had no problem whatsoever with their fertility.
It's mostly the modern chemical soup we bathe in.

Chemicals are a part of it, but our lifestyle is also a part of it as well. I guarantee you a ugy who works a highpaying, satisfying job with a beautiful gf/wife to come home to is going to have far higher sperm count than the Omega I outlined above.
Also your European Forefathers had way bigger problems anyway. Namely not dying of lung cancer from the mines. Also, we don't know what their hormone levels were, but we do know that stressful, hopeless living kills. I'd be interested in seeing how many pre-human rights factory workers lived long enough to have children. Something tells me the numbers would be lower than we'd think.

Both parts are very relevant. Lifestyle and chemical. Look at Mexicans. I think it was Tuthmosis that once pointed out that even though Mexican's had the worst diabetes and obesity rates, they still lived longer than their black and white counterparts, because they had happier lifestyles. I think he cited that the men were always chill as fuck. When I look back at my grandparents, despite the negative political landscape they grew up in, they were WAY happier than my parents by a very large factor.
We all have to take stress management classes and training these days, because no one knows how to chill the fuck out anymore. Porn and electronics like TV does not relieve stress contrary to what people think it does. Getting away from Christ, as a society, makes us forget why we are here and lose purpose. Lack of purpose hurts the drive, which allows depression to set it. It's all a giant snowball. Depression rates are super high and rising every year as well and that is chemical based imbalances in the brain.
If I recall correctly, aren't the oldest T levels collected around 40-ish years old? They were higher than ours on average when I last saw them. Infertility was not quite as common back then as it is nowadays. There are fertility clinics everywhere these days. It's huge business. Even though smoking and heavy drinking drops sperm cell counts, we have more sinister things in our air and water that they may not have had, and like Kosko posted, their food was better than ours. When it is not fucked with, food is your medicine. If most of us do not smoke anymore and drinking is the same or less than our ancestors, we definately introduced alot more issues into our environment, than before.

RE: Sperm count at lowest ever for Western Men
Stress simply does not compute and neither does shitty work-conditions. Workplace happiness is good, but ultimately bullshit as well.
The Japanese have some of the most draconian work conditions out there and they still by far outlive almost anyone. The Kubans outlive the Americans. US Americans have terrible life expectancy not because of too much stress, but the chemical food-soup, now the legion of vaccines, the idiotic for-pharma predatory health care system and other gimmicks like fluoride in the water etc.
You have to stop finding reasons like the Huffpo writers who blame TV and other crap, but look at the facts like Bisphenols, GMOs, food additives etc. Those have changed dramatically in the last 50 years and they are very likely to blame.
And you can also deduct the following: IF NO ONE ABOVE IS ALARMED ABOUT IT THEN IT IS DONE ON PURPOSE AND THEY KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT. And they will give you bullshit reasons like stress, sedentary lifestyle, watching TV or surfing too much on the internet. It will be everything except the things that are actually causing it at levels above 95%.
