Jeff and Peter, the limitations that you (and the caller) claim to have discovered were described directly in the journalist's article itself. It always pays to aim first, then fire.

Thank you so much for the caller illuminating the fact that the entire story was based on faulty and incomplete data.

Yet another example of a journalist trying to pimp a "sexy" headline / story instead of investing more time on a topic.

No disrespect to the journalist in questions, but in order to have a better product to consume, we as media consumers need to demand more from the people whose job it is to create media.

xox

So basically as the caller aptly pointed out our study is useless as it leaves out many other factors that you acknowledge is important for accurate conclusions? I hardly call that a study. Lol

My husband and I just adopted a baby boy, now 2.5 months old, and I am the stay at home dad. I do have to say I notice a few signs of lower testosterone, less sex drive, less muscle density. Now, it may just a huge change in lifestyle, but who knows?

So, can we "conclude" that the previous guest (the father with 24 children) has barely any testosterone anymore?

I say this is definitely a candidate for The Week magazine's "Health Scare of the Week" feature. One glimmer of hope is the study does not seem population-controlled? All the participants are from Philippines (eg, Tagalog, Cebuano, Ilocano, Bisaya/Binisaya, Hiligaynon, Bikol, Waray)? I would have to read the study, but also would want to see if there could be other confounding factors leading to this result in this population.

General question for your guest. Do chimpanzees, apes and other primates even know who their fathers are?

Is "fatherhood" just a relic of patriarchy?

Does testosterone also drop if the male is gay?

Just scientifically curious. I'm not gay.

Not that there's anything wrong with it.
