  > If you take men on a high-protein diet—”meat, fish, poultry, egg white[s]”—and switch them to a high-carb diet of “bread, vegetables, fruit, and [sugary junk,]” their cortisol levels drop about a quarter within ten days. At the same time, their testosterone levels shoot up by about the same amount. https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-effect-of-animal-protein-on-stress-hormones-testosterone-and-pregnancy/ https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-effect-of-animal-protei... > After the intake of cow milk, serum estrone (E1) and progesterone concentrations significantly increased, and serum luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone and testosterone significantly decreased in men https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19496976 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19496976

    I’m not sure what I’m meant to take from those links. Do you know of any direct studies comparing similar macros etc to isolate meat or any longer term analysis across similar target demographics? The first one seems to be about low carb vs high carb - where was the meat + carb vs no meat + high-carb comparison? The second seems to be specific to milk and not animal products in general.
