Eating low-fat diary products may be a good way to lower cholesterol and lose weight, but a group of researchers say that it can also increase a woman’s chances of becoming infertile.
Failure to ovulate is a common cause of infertility, and women who eat lots of low-fat dairy products have been found to have an 85 percent higher risk of ovulatory infertility, according to a Harvard-affiliated study.
According to the study, this condition strikingly high in women who consumed two or more daily servings of low-fat dairy products.
Jorge Chavarro, an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard University and coauthor of this study and of The Fertility Diet: Groundbreaking Research Reveals Natural Ways to Boost Ovulation and Improve Your Chances of Getting Pregnant says the findings are “extremely surprising,” given that the government’s Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that adults consume three or more servings of low-fat dairy products daily.
