Yeah, this is the effects of sugary soda...
Get mice fat and jittery enough with way more ml/kg than zero-proof hillbilly moonshine, T-levels will be the least of their problems.
Also consider they're treated with all the of humanity of lab rodentia: confinement in small cages and culling if/when they don't meet a particular study's criteria. Rodent guillotines were still in use the last I heard.
To conduct a pointless study that can't possibly justify the cruelty cost is absurd.
Finally, it's worth noting animal labs have a checkered history of attracting terrorist crazies even PETA won't have anything to do with. Right there with mass shooters and religious death cults in terms of the liabilities of insanity plus aggression plus access to weapons.

Please don't change the title. It is perfect just the way it is.
It seems like I've seen quite a bit of people claiming that testosterone levels have been dropping as of late. Can anyone tell me if that's true or not?
Here's a summary: https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/declining-sperm-count-...
There's no mention of the word "testosterone" in that article?
> Conclusions
> A high concentration of Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola could raise TLD and TDD, enhance testosterone secretion, and increase serum EGF concentrations.
If this study can be repeated in humans, drinking cola may help with that.

HN title rule strikes again
False title. They tested Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola, not carbonated beverages (which would be seltzer).
And they seem to have zero ability to distinguish because the carbonation, the phosphoric acid, or the sugar.

Yeah that scared me about the title, like c’mon now I can’t have seltzer? But soft drinks…does this surprise people?
That it apparently increases testosterone? Yes, that surprises me.
What a terrible experiment design. Groups were given Pepsi, Coke, and a control group was given water. That’s not very conclusive evidence for/against any particular ingredient, or carbonation.
OK NOW HAVE THE CONTROL GROUP DRINK FLAT SODA
