The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
Remember DHT is the primary androgen for libido, for strengthened connective tissue repair, for aggression. Even if that aggression of course is held in check, but just sort of ambition and aggression is related to dopamine, but within the testosterone pathway, less so pure testosterone, although pure testosterone has its effects. But DHT is, at least in primate species including humans, is the dominant androgen for most of those sorts of effects.
But DHT is, at least to my mind, the linchpin of so many of the things that subjectively people are really focused on-- libido, motivation, drive, et cetera.
