The Claim
In healthy adult males, postprandial free fatty acid levels are significantly correlated with cortisol levels at specific time points (5 and 6 hours) after a high-fat mixed meal and at 3, 4, and 6 hours after a pure fat meal, with correlation coefficients ranging from r=0.610 to r=0.824 and p-values below 0.05.
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 healthy adult men, levels of free fatty acids and cortisol in the blood rise together at certain times after eating a high-fat meal, and these changes are statistically linked.
See the scientific wording
In healthy adult males, significant positive correlations between postprandial free fatty acid and cortisol levels occur at 5 and 6 hours after a high-fat mixed meal (r=0.610, p=0.046; r=0.824, p=0.002) and at 3, 4, and 6 hours after a pure fat meal (r=0.632, p=0.037; r=0.673, p=0.023; r=0.614, p=0.045), suggesting a time-specific association between these two metabolic markers following fat ingestion.
What the research says
1 studyAfter eating a fatty meal, the study found that two body chemicals—free fatty acids and cortisol—go up together at specific times, like they’re dancing in sync. This matches exactly what the claim says.
