Finnish study links plant-based diets to higher testosterone

Original: Four-day self-reported dietary data from over 2,500 Finnish men ages 42-60 was linked to blood testosterone measurements

Researchers analysed four-day self-reported dietary records from more than 2,500 Finnish men aged 42-60 and compared them with blood testosterone measurements. Greater intake of meat and dairy was associated with lower free testosterone, while higher levels were linked to vegetable-heavy, plant-based diets. The findings are fueling debate about diet's role in men's hormone health.

Why now: The study's suggestion that cutting meat and dairy may raise testosterone challenges common assumptions about protein and male hormones.
