I came across this data on reducing testosterone levels a couple of decades back, and the likely culprit at that time was the correspondence between this drop in levels, and the presence of certain plastics polluting the environment - particularly oestrogen-mimicking compounds (gay frogs anyone...?!). If this testosterone reduction is actually being caused by a reduction in dietary animal fats, as you claim here - where is the evidence that this is the case? The numbers don't add up.
So, on "Global and regional food consumption patterns and trends...
"...there has been a remarkable increase in the intake of dietary fats over the past three decades (see Table 3) and that this increase has taken place practically everywhere except in Africa, where consumption levels have stagnated. The per capita supply of fat from animal foods has increased, respectively, by 14 and 4 g per capita in developing and industrialized countries..." https://www.fao.org/3/ac911e/ac911e05.htm
If there is no corresponding reduction in animal fat consumption, then the thesis that this is what is causing testosterone reduction simply doesn't add up. Plastics pollution looks far more likely - and excess animal fat in the diet is very likely the culprit behind the drastic increase in obesity.
