“Total testosterone, the free androgen index, and dehydroepiandrosterone increased with age in both groups, but after adjusting for age, no racial differences were found.”
“Contrary to the hypothesis that the racial/ethnic disparity in prostate cancer has a hormonal basis, we did not observe a difference in serum testosterone concentration between non-Hispanic black and white men in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III)” ”
“The hormones dehydroepiandrosterone- sulfate, progesterone, and testosterone did not exhibit any racial differences.”
In all studies, once the numbers are appropriately adjusted, the differences just aren’t great enough to explain much of anything.
But that is the whole problem. You can’t adjust for age. lacks have higher testosterone between age 7-33. After that it is equal or lower than Whites. You have to look only at that age group and no other to find the differences.
I am pretty sure we can debunk all of those negative studies. Black babies have higher T right out of the womb. Most of those negative studies did not look only at young people. B
As a matter of fact, cancer researchers say that higher Black T could easily explain the extremely high rate of Black prostate cancer.
If Blacks don’t have higher T than anyone else, why do Blacks everywhere on Earth, I mean Africa, the Caribbean and the US) have much higher prostate cancer levels (usually double). What’s with the elevated rates? What’s causing them.
