No more FRIES!!!
As most of you know, I’ve been raving about the documentary Super Size Me ever since I saw it. I stumbled upon this article that talks about what those crunchy yummy french fries (and other foods that have a trace of HYDROGENATED OILS) have & what they can do to people wanting to start a family (like me) 
=========================
Trans Fats Linked to Infertility?
New research from the Harvard School of Public Health shows that consumption of trans fats may increase a woman’s risk of infertility.
The research (see abstract) has the following conclusions:
- Obtaining 2% of energy from trans fats rather than from mono-unsaturated fats was associated with a more than doubled risk of ovulatory infertility.
- Each 2% increase in the intake of energy from trans unsaturated fats, as opposed to that from carbohydrates, was associated with a 73% greater risk of ovulatory infertility after adjustment for known and suspected risk factors for this condition.
These results are sobering - however not all agree.Nutritionist Marion Nestle made these comments in a WebMD article:
“If you look at their raw data, it just didn’t show an increase in risk,” she says. “And even when the adjustments were made, the numbers were still very small.”Nestle says the only dietary factors proven to play a role in infertility are eating way too little and eating way too much. Infertility is common among women who starve themselves for long periods or who are very obese.

Another reason to NOT eat that stuff (or anything that has transfat (AKA. Hydrogenated Oils) anymore.
