Trans Fat May Increase Infertility Risk In Women

Toronto (eCanadaNow) - A new study suggests that oils used to cook foods such as chips (french fries) may increase the risk of a woman becoming infertile.
In a study of more that 18,000 women, researchers found that trans fats can reduce a woman’s chance of becoming pregnant by as much as 70 percent, reported the BBC.
Researchers say the fats - which are found mostly in processed vegetable oils - interfere with body cells that play a vital role in ovulation.
The findings showed as little as 4g of trans fats a day could negatively effect fertility.
Many Places, including New York City have moved to ban trans fat in restaurants.
The study is published in the America Journal of Clinical Nutrition
