This article explains that the risk of infertility can be increased due to the amount of trans fats that one consumed. Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston discovered that just two percent of a woman energy intake from trans fats could lead to a 70 percent greater risk of infertility due to the lack of ovulation. In order to reach the two percent levels, one only needs four grams of trans fat a day in a 2,000 calories diet. What is shocking is that people can reach that amount with just one doughnut or some chips. Moreover, those who has a poor diet could be eating a lot more than four grams a day. Scientists are not clear how fats affect ovulation, but they may affect the sensitivity to insulin, which play a role in fertility problems. The Food and Drink Federation stated that they are committing to reducing trans fats levels as low as possible. In addition, leading food manufacturers and retailers are cutting down on trans fats.
