What I find interesting is that the researchers neglected to mention that testosterone actually converts directly to estrogen in males.
It is the only way that estrogen is "made" in the body in males.

So the previous study said men are smarter than women, now this states the male hormone which differentiates men is bad.

What's yer hair worth, fellers?
I'd guess about half the population in the world had come to that conclusion already.
a pointless study.
Too much water is bad.
Too little water is bad.
