 First thought: Seed oils

Second thought: nah, the Dutch eat lots of fried stuff. 🤔 
 Really hard to understand what’s behind this. Maybe foods with soy? 
 The Netherlands, Denmark and Belgium have high T, and Australia and Canada really really low.

Can't be soy either... 
 And Japan in the middle, land of tofu and soya sauce... 
 Omg you are right! So what is it? lol 
 There's a distinction that people miss with soy:
Traditional soy use from soy beans grown without pesticides like glyphosphate are nearly always fermented or processed to make them more healthful. Soy bean oil used to facilitate food processing is drenched in glyphosphate, and the strains used for soy bean oil production are heavily modified to produce more oil, and there is no fermentation going on to break down the plant estrogens that can and do cause femininization and mess with female fertility.  
 Yes that’s true 🏆
