A cross-sectional study published in Biological Trace Element Research found that men with higher fluoride exposure had significantly lower testosterone levels, especially among young men aged 18-39, indicating a crucial link between environmental toxins and hormonal function.
Among older men with elevated fluoride exposure, instead of experiencing the expected decline in testosterone, levels actually increased with age, suggesting a complex hormonal interaction influenced by fluoride that goes beyond traditional understandings.
The study confirmed that androgen binding protein (ABP) remained stable regardless of fluoride levels, indicating that fluoride's impact directly suppresses testosterone production rather than affecting its metabolism.
Testosterone plays a vital role in many aspects of male health, including bone density and reproductive functions, making the findings particularly concerning given the broader implications of declining testosterone in younger men.
