text_2: The disease-mongering of Low T (low testosterone) could have been an important subtheme of this column, yet it was barely mentioned. As our medical editor on this review wrote, “Low T syndrome reflects a cure in search of a disease.” The column was solid for what it did – teasing for what more it could have done. What does “feeling manly” mean? What does “virility” mean? Does a 1% per year decline in testosterone levels for most men mean they have a condition that requires treatment? There are conditions attributable to low testosterone that warrant treatment. This story – although it rated well – could have done a better job addressing such questions.
