Low fat diets men's testosterone levels decrease by 10-15%<\/strong>, according to a new study<\/a> conducted at the University of Worcester and published in the Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The study was a systematic review and meta-analysis, combining the results of six well-controlled studies with a total of 206 participants. These studies first put men on a high-fat diet (40% fat) and then transferred them to a low-fat diet (20% fat) and found that their testosterone levels decreased by 10-15% on average. Particularly bad were low-fat vegetarian diets that caused a decrease in testosterone of up to 26%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A high intake of monounsaturated fats found in olive oil, avocados, and nuts can increase testosterone production. However, omega 6 polyunsaturated fats, found predominantly in vegetable oils, can damage the cells' ability to produce testosterone<\/strong>. This is because highly unsaturated fats, such as polyunsaturated fats, are more prone to oxidation, which causes cell damage.<\/p>\n
