At least they're not breeding

WORCESTER, United Kingdom — Many people champion low-fat and vegetarian diets as the best ways to stay healthy, but is that really the case for men? A new study finds lowering fat also slashes male testosterone levels. The results can leave men choosing to go green with their diets suffering a loss of libido. 

Researchers from the University of Worcester add the male sex hormone also protects against heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s. Results show vegetarian low-fat diets rank as the worst for men’s sexual health; decreasing testosterone by up to 26 percent.
