There is such a thing as "peripheral arterial disease" (or PAD) and if blood flow is diminished, that problem may play a role in ED. (And we've notice that people who suffer PAD are not as responsive, or even non responsive, to Pauling's vitamin C and lysine therapy... In an old book, Roger J. Williams recommended magnesium for PAD.)
And where does the raw material to make testosterone come from? Cholesterol.

We have cited the WHO study several times recently. To be "wary" of vitamin E is downright silly - but that is why the propaganda machines are paid the big $$$$
As far as PAD - we are simply reporting our experience as related at this forum. There is apparently another underlying cause - reason the arteries are weakening uniformly away from the heart.
But all the questions illustrate an issue we are going to need to fix as the volume increases.
This is the vitamin C foundation. Yes we are happy to answer health questions (since most correct answers include "take more vitamin C.") But I am going to have to be more diligent about moving topics that digress (or splitting topics) that we have no expertise in to MISC.
Another solution (soon) will be to actually implement the long standing request to build a vitamin C wiki.
(More on that later, but that will make it easier for people interested in vitamin C to find information on their topic of interest.)
Now if gofanu starts the Iodine/Selenium foundation... And exitium the "methylated vitamin b" foundation, then we can think about the master nutrition wiki - of which vitamin C is only one piece of the puzzle.[/b]
it makes cholestrol, when people say, "eating fat boosts Testosterone" I don't buy it
mostly since I was a vegetarian diet,(huge caloric deficit) and my cholestrol went from 220 to 150 and at the same my testostrone went from 348 to over 650ng/dl.(all within 11 weeks, while I was losing 80lbs of fat and eating eggwhites/tons of veggies/and some fruits and minerals)

I'm no expert but reading these few sentences it seems to me that
1)Losing 80lbs in 11weeks is a lot of weight done very very fast
2)You didn't just use diet, i bet you exercised a lot too.
3)Either way, exercise or diet that causes weight loss means less oestrogen running round your body and more testosterone being produced-irrelevant of what you ate in those 11 weeks- all your fat you already had stored on your hips.
As for telomeres and diet--- i'd assume that the less you eat, the less cells would need to divide therefore the longer the current telomere length stays. I wouldn't think it increases the telomere length which is a completely different kettle of fish.
As for your posts, as i said before, they are difficult to see what you are asking, lots of information dumped into the posts and very often recurring questions on several of your posts--- then most of the time you have your own answer.

want to question, and ask a question about it.

Testosterone seems to play the major role in libido (desire). And where does the raw material to make testosterone come from? Cholesterol.

I did just that and quoted your script:

Here you are saying that you do not believe eating fat raises your cholesterol because you were on an 11 week mainly vege diet, yet your testosterone went up. You also indicate that your cholesterol went down which makes Owens post incorrect- as i said you answer your own questions with what you like to hear! You also with this statement of yours disagree with Owens post which i quote below and highlight the relevant part.
Testosterone seems to play the major role in libido (desire). And where does the raw material to make testosterone come from? Cholesterol.
Hence why i suggested to you in my humble laymans terms in my previous post, that loHis body mass index went from 28.8, of fat especially 80lbs in such a short while will increase your testosterone(less oestrogen in your fat) added on to that you were also exercising, also increases your testosterone. Therefore it is probably irrelevent what you were eating affected your testosterone-hence perhaps Owen was right and you should buy into the fact that fat/cholesterol boosts testosterone.
Perhaps it's just me that finds your posts difficult to follow and your responses terse and acidic. Either way- it would be good advice for you.. to listen and hear what people say on this forum as they are not only way smarter than i am- and way smarter than you- they work daily with patients and have decades of experience.
Oh I looked at your CNN twinkie story but the article couldn't even decide if he had a starting body mass of 28.8 or 33.4% so i stopped looking.
