Ice Cream to Get Pregnant?
Quoted from the Associated Press: "A diet rich in ice cream and other high-fat dairy foods may lower the risk of one type of infertility, a study suggests." Reality: The study this comes from, Harvards Nurses Study, inspects all factors in women's health over many years; it's not a scientific experiment where specific dietary factors are studied in isolation. It also only refers to ovulation, which is to blame for infertility only a small fraction of the time. There are plenty of studies that dairy actually contributes to infertility (especially those who are sensitive to lactose), and of course with ice cream comes loads of sugar, which will keep your blood sugar fluctuating and can cause acidification of the cervical mucus, which can become more hostile to sperm, therefore...you get it. No wonder the entire nation is confused- the media jumps on every passing bandwagon. My advice? Don't listen to the fads, the news, or even to melisten to your body.
