In this study, researchers from Mexico and France evaluated the effects of the Western diet on serum concentrations of free estradiol and testosterone in postmenopausal women. The results of their study were published in the journal Nutrition Research.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that the Western diet increases serum concentrations of free estradiol. This may have implications for the prevention of breast cancer.
