Type II diabetes associated with low testosterone.

Testosterone.? It’s what makes a man a man.? It?gives us muscle mass, keeps our bones dense, enhances our mood, promotes agressiveness, puts the wood in our woody, and enhances insulin function.???A new study suggests that 1/3rd of men with type 2 diabetes have low test levels.??As a result?these men have a higher incedence of; muscle loss, depression, bone loss, and erectile disfunction.? As if a diabetic doesn’t have enough to worry about, let’s through in the loss of his manhood.

Sandeep Dhinsda, MD.:
“We are describing a new complication of type 2 diabetes. We are saying that the largest group of people who have low testosterone are diabetics, It means your pituitary gland, which controls all the other hormones in your body, is not working very well. We are talking about one-third of men with diabetes being at risk of high fat mass, low muscle mass, low bone density, depression, and erectile dysfunction.” Find the full article HERE.

The incidence of type?2 diabetes is on the rise.? In fact you could say its reached epidemic proportions.? This may be a suprise to some until you learn that type 2 is related to lifestyle.? I’m sure you all are aware of the average American’s lifestyle, pathetic.??Being fat, lazy and sufferring from erectile disfunction is no way to go through life.? Get some discipline, get off your ass and stop eating donuts.? If looking like the Michelin Man who can’t use, let alone see, his willy isn’t enough incentive to change your lifestyle, I have no sympathy.

Sex and Soy

One problem that more and more Americans are facing is an over abundance of phytoestrogens in our food supply. Look at all the food labels for the foods you purchase, there is almost always some type of soy product contained in them. Some of the various soy products contained in foods include: soy oil, soy protein, and soy lecithin.

Buddhist monks have been using soy for almost 2,000 years to lower their libido and help abstain from sex?to aid in?becoming more spiritual. Many recent studies substantiate the more soy consumed, the lower the testosterone levels go. And to top it off, many of the products we use are packaged in plastic containers which also supply us with “ecoestrogens,” which mimic hormonal estrogen when consumed by humans. Unfortunately, these estrogen-like substances have other deleterious effects outside of taking the wood out of your willy.
