    Resveratrol Stimulates Cortisol Synthesis

    Yet another reason to avoid resveratrol. The mechanism of action is suppression of cytochrome P450, which is known as the "master detox" enzyme. I wonder if other estrogenic substances, including estrogen itself stimulate cortisol synthesis through the same mechanism. If yes, substances that...

However, even without the causality conclusion, given what Ray has written about chronically elevated cortisol...
