   The answer folks is to lose weight, stop consuming sugar which increases estrogen, go outside and actually do stuff, get your metabolism moving etc
   
   ...or be your pudgy "low T" millenial/zoomer and get a bra

   I believe the original 80s numbers were taken from a study that was done exclusively in Massachusets so interpret that how you will

   Full soda is just poison, I don't even remember when I last drank it as my goto drink...probably the early 80s.
   
   The rare occasion someone's giving me full soda mistakenly (in a restaurant etc) I took a sip and recoiled in disgust. It's literally like drinking syrup.
   
   It's interesting how your body and tastes change based on what you get used to...similarly as a kid I used to have sugar in my tea and tasting unsweetened tea was horrible...after switching and "retraining" myself to unsweetened tea, drinking sweet tea is again now disgusting.

   if you want to cut out sugar you're better off just cutting it out entirely; most of the sugar substitutes are far worse for you
   
   you get to choose between diabetes and cancer

   I don't really have a lot of artificial sweeteners either, obviously some as it's very hard to avoid everything, I gave up drinking soda about 3yrs or so ago...sure I have the occasional one but it's more like 3 or 4 a week than 3 or 4 a day.
   
   I'm not sure I'm convinced about the "threat" from artificial sweeteners either. I've read "studies" and "reports" from both sides some saying it's poison some saying there isn't direct evidence it's bad...of course generally anything artificial isn't...good so best to avoid where possible...either way Most docs agree sugar is far worse for all kinds of reasons.
   
   I can say I feel and am whole lot better, stronger, fitter,vastly more energy, healthier since switching to a strict keto existence, average 20g carbs a day or less, more protein and good fats and it's become so routine now that I don't even think about "bad" food or drinks and have no desire for them. Like I said it's what your body adapts to.
   
   My doc is amazed at my progress over the last 6 months...of course she's not happy about me low carb intake but the blood work results and physical changes speak for themselves

   You can get both I think. I know here in Texas you can buy Mexican coke and other sodas which has cane sugar in it and I've seen adverts for other soda that spouts "real cane sugar" as a selling point

    only people with extremely low T seek approval and reasssurance of T tests to prove their t level.
    
    people with high t are secure of their t level and dont need any of t tests.
