First, the older men are, the higher the risk for prostate cancer[b]. If testosterone was really the culprit, wouldn't it me more prevalent in young men with high testosterone levels?
Estrogens generally promote growth (e.g. during pregnancy) which can be counter-balanced by progesterone.
There is an enzyme system in men as we age that converts testosterone into Estrogens. Therein lies a problem.
It is the increase in female hormones ( Estrogens) that causing the prostate issues, in this school of thought, and you can take an enzyme inhibitor Arimidex/Anostrosole, to block this conversion of testosterone to estradiols.
Or you can do as I have done for years, rub a little bit of natural progesterone cream near your prostate [/b]
you and I are in agreement about the dangers of high estradiol/e2/estrogen in men
I bolded the statement that Abraham Morgentaler, M.D. talks about a lot also.

Belly fat is "dangerous"...why is that? it has lots of the hormone you mention, aromatase, that converts testosterone to estrogen.
losing your gut is a great way to increase testosterone
He goes more into depth explaining that the myth that testosterone causes Prostate cancer and how that's just not so.
My dad's urologist won't treat his high estradiol without some evidence high e2 is bad for you

Jonathan Wright and John Lee's books, do they have any that he could show her?
