You keep repeating the same thing over and over again, but provide no documentation why is above average hormone levels are bad.
...
Not above average, above range. This means more than two standard deviations above average. In general there are all kinds of negative associations when hormones are out of range, not least of which is reduced longevity. Although long-term research is lacking, specific to testosterone there are negative effects on lipids and blood viscosity. The burden of proof is on you. If symptoms of low testosterone can be eliminated with average levels then there's no justification for going much higher, except for those who put gains in body composition ahead of overall health.
... The majority of men feel better above average levels.
...
For which you have zero credible evidence. Don't even bother citing an informal poll of a population you already acknowledge to be unusual. It's also likely that most of this population has actually only tried levels ranging from above average to way above average.
...
Maybe we should have people stop taking vitamin D supplements for having above average vitamin D levels, even though it’s optimal to have levels at the higher end of the ranges. We should target average levels, even though people are spending the majority of their day indoors.
...
You're probably unaware that maximum endogenous testosterone production correlates with vitamin D levels in the 30s ng/mL. And that negative health correlations appear at levels greater than 50 ng/mL. This is another case where misguided more-is-better thinking is creeping in.
...
You’re right, we should set the bar based off a declining, ever increasing unhealthy population with a 50% reduction in fertility and declining testosterone.
The average total testosterone 30 years ago was 720 and now it’s half that. What’s average today won’t be average tomorrow.
...
The usual pathetic straw man argument. Do you realize that even Labcorp's current IA test for total testosterone shows an average of almost 600 ng/dL? For the Quest LC/MS test it is 675 ng/mL. Thirty years ago healthy young men also had total testosterone around 600-700 ng/dL.
