The study is not showing a reduced fertility from low body fat.
The average US male is 1 inch taller and 30 pounds heavier than the average US male from 1960.
The average female is 1 inch taller and 26 pounds heavier than the average US female from 1960. In fact, the average female weighs as much as the average male from 1960.

RE: West going extinct?
why would humanity be getting physically larger as we become less physical in labor?
and why is puberty starting at 10 and 11 when it used to start at 14 and 15?

The 15,000 calorie a day diets don't hurt.

no, not just fatter. We are getting taller and bigger as a species.
we should be getting smaller as our brains do the work and not the muscles.

Yeah, in that goofy high calorie intake that starts when we are toddlers, we are pumping a crap ton more protein than people were generations ago.

true story [serious]
went to the my fam GP (that's what we called 'em back then) and had him test my "count" (I had a few missteps that I couldn't figure out why I got lucky)......b/c I once was a catcher during my baseball years that refused to ever wear a cup and was tokin' down at that point, I was just wondering.....
anyway, he comes back and tells me, "you're ~2M shy...but it only takes one"
I just laughed, shook his hand, and told him I didn't touch anything
skip 10 yrs....
1 month before I get married, the ex got off the pill.....daughter was conceived that day (planned)......those fertile turtles....told her, "all the catholics will really hate you now"
all true...
