Flame, I want to believe that lowering my T is going to improve my health, not damage it. Reading this article, I came away with the impression that it isn't the low T itself that raises heart attack risk, but the lack of exercise and the weight gain that are responsible.

Doodle, I agree with you that we are past the point where we should be loading up men with more testosterone (aside from raising heart attack risk). Testosterone has its place, of course. The reproduction of the species is always nature's first priority. T drives man to fertilize the egg at all costs. E strives to give birth and nurture the newborn. But, once past the reproductive years, nature gives us men a break from that macho thing, and gives women a break from the menses. Should we mess with that grand design? Then, again, who am I to criticize with all the messing I'm engaged in. LOL
