I think you're missing the point, which is you need balance. Some healthy Fats inhibit aromatase which is ok in the long run for the following reason: (you can't dump endless amounts of phytoestrogens or pharma (bcp) into your system without causing additional health risks, e.g. Breast Cancer, DVT, IBS. Etc). We get enough Xenoestrogens on a daily basis which throws that balance off. My choice of dietary oils is coconut oil, which in case you missed the health benefits links I provided I'll list them again. You should also research how plant sterols interacts with phytoestrogens and metabolism.
Increased SHBG can tie up total testosterone, making less available. Hey nobody said this was easy, in fact, the more you learn you'll find conflicting research and published studies, which will end up causing more confusion. Now I'm confused why you mention bcp?, are you considering adding it?.

Coconut oil is high in MMCFA's which helps in keeping your hormones in balance and promotes weight loss. I just up my WP when I take C.O., it seems there's always a trade off that needs to be addressed when supplementing, certain medications come to mind which can up/down-regulate other med's and supplements, I'll give some alarming info on what I mean asap.
