Red Meat Increases Risk Of Endometriosis

👩‍⚕️ A new scientific review has looked at the link between food and endometriosis prevention and symptoms.

Research findings

Authors of the new scientific review highlight that treatment for endometriosis is limited, and that nutritional intervention may be a “helpful” course of action.

Endometriosis symptoms are associated with high levels of estrogen in the blood. Consuming red and processed meat has been claimed to increase such increased levels of estrogen.

Study authors claim that reducing dietary fat, while increasing fiber, have been shown to “reduce circulating estrogen concentrations.” This, they say, could present a “potential benefit for individuals with endometriosis.”

Authors highlighted a study that found that women who consumed more than two servings of red meat per day had a 56 percent increased risk of developing endometriosis than those who consumed less than one serving per week. Consumption of poultry has also been highlighted as presenting a possible higher risk of the condition.
