Personally, I think that "study" is a bunch of BS.  I would rather rely on the findings of people like Dr. John Lee, who spent most of his life researching the benefits of progesterone (not progestin, a term which is used interchangeably in the scientific field, unfortunately, because it is NOT the same), rather than this guy who did a "couple" of "studies".  This is something I could go on and on about, but I will just leave you with this link and let you go there if you wish.  www.johnleemd.com .  He does sell books on his site, but there is a LOT of free information there, as well.

  This is interesting because some scientists like Ray Peat think progesterone 
is protective against cancers. On the other hand, some breast tumors are 
progesterone dependent -- and therefore, ingesting more progesterone may not be a 
good idea for someone with progesterone positive breast cancer. I know I have 
luteal phase defect -- my progesterone level has tested low -- but, I have 
long menstrual cycles and not a lot of bleeding and no bad cramping or anything - 
so I just figure maybe less progesterone is right for me. I do have uterine 
fibroids and cystic breasts -- but again, my bleeding is not extensive. I am 
curious whether dairy products spiked estrogen as well as progesterone levels. 
Right now, I'm rather confused. Dairy products are not paleo -- but when I 
am in a situation where the meat is way too lean, I've resorted to adding 
butter -- and sometimes I'll eat sheep cheese. But I realize these things are not 
paleo.
