SHBG and diet

[James2133]

So apparently a diet high in vegetables increases Sex hormone binding globulin. And SHBG binds to free testosterone making its inactive for tissue. 

 

So vegetables are negative for bodybuilding!?!?

 

Confused.

 

 

On another note, does ground flaxseed increase or decrease testosterone?

There are many factors that increase or decrease SHBG, your body with compensate either way don't worry about it...

 

Vegetables are essential for healthy living..

Mean serum insulin-like growth factor-I was 9% lower in 233 vegan men than in 226 meat-eaters and 237 vegetarians (P = 0.002). Vegans had higher testosterone levels than vegetarians and meat-eaters, but this was offset by higher sex hormone binding globulin, and there were no differences between diet groups in free testosterone, androstanediol glucuronide or luteinizing hormone.

Like what has previously been stated, the body will compensate keeping free test at normal levels..
