Ben Greenfield explains why he avoids fried foods: heated vegetable oils oxidize into rancid compounds that can linger in your body for up to two years. He also discusses enclomiphene as a testosterone alternative that doesn't harm fertility.

Before using something like testosterone replacement therapy, consider alternatives that are still medical but slightly less of a sledgehammer. An example of that would be enclomiphene, which is a variant of Clomid, what's called a selective estrogen receptor modulator, and it can help to increase testosterone without impacting fertility, ball size, etc. I almost 100% avoid fried foods. There's occasionally when I'm traveling, somebody's like, this is the best, like, fried chicken sandwich you're ever going to have in your life. I will take one for the team and occasionally have something like that, but it's very rare. Fried foods are one of the worst because the vegetable oil that is heated up can become very oxidized and rancid, and those oxidized compounds can stick around in your body for up to a couple of years.
