The Claim
Dietary fat intake, including total fat and polyunsaturated fatty acids, is not associated with changes in estradiol, luteinizing hormone, or follicle-stimulating hormone concentrations in regularly menstruating women.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In women with regular menstrual cycles, the amount of dietary fat consumed, including total fat and polyunsaturated fats, does not change the levels of estradiol, luteinizing hormone, or follicle-stimulating hormone in the blood.
See the scientific wording
Dietary fat intake, including total fat and polyunsaturated fatty acids, is not associated with changes in estradiol, luteinizing hormone, or follicle-stimulating hormone concentrations in regularly menstruating women.
Eating more fat, including healthy fats, does not change the levels of estradiol, LH, or FSH because the body uses those fats to make other hormones like testosterone and progesterone instead, while keeping the key reproductive hormones that control the menstrual cycle unchanged.
What the research says
1 studyThis study found that eating more fat, including healthy polyunsaturated fats, doesn’t change the levels of the key reproductive hormones estradiol, LH, or FSH in women with regular periods. So, the claim that fat intake doesn’t affect these hormones is supported.
