This is a perfect example of naive intervention. there is no evidence that pseudoestrogens may reduce violence and I have no idea how you came to such a ludicrous conclusion.
Is it because you believe the myth that high testosterone causes violence? That "roid rage" people normally picture when thinking of people who do steroids is actually people who neglect or don't put enough effort into post cycle therapy or aromatase inhibitors to LOWER their estrogen levels.
Yes taking steroids greatly increases Estrogen levels as well and this is the main reason many men who have done steroids without proper cycling have some semblance of breasts...
If anything this "violent" society you speak of is most likely a result of these pseudoestrogens / xenoestrogens and other endocrine disrupting chemicals.
- smt88 8y agoThe positive correlation between testosterone and violence is not a myth in animals. It has also been observed in humans, though the correlation is weak[1]. 1. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S135917890000032X https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S135917890...
- felix_nagaand 8y agoA weak correlation cannot intelligently be used to justify anything except further research...
- nostrademons 8y agoIn this case, it's a weak correlation across a meta-analysis of 45 independent studies. While I'd agree that further research would probably be beneficial, this is a result that already includes some further research.
- atomical 8y agoYou posted pseudoscience of your own to counter pseudoscience. Where is the evidence that lack of "post cycle therapy," which isn't accepted science in itself, and estrogen causes violence? I don't see any evidence of what you suggest on Cochrane Collab. https://us.cochrane.org/ https://us.cochrane.org/
