Snack attack? Instead of fries, which may contain trans

fats, reach

for fruit.

It's well known that trans fats -- commonly found in

commercially

fried and baked food -- can increase the risk of heart

disease and

diabetes. But there's another unexpected danger to

younger women,

finds a new Harvard study.

 

Eating too many trans fats could dramatically increase a

woman's

odds of being infertile. In fact, researchers determined

that

getting only 2% more calories from trans fats than from

monounsaturated fats, such as olive oil, more than

doubled the risk

of infertility. And getting 2% more calories from trans

fats than

from carbohydrates increased a woman's risk by 73%.

 

The theory is that trans fats adversely affect ovulatory

function.

 

Everyone can easily avoid trans fats by checking food

labels and

substituting other types of fats. The fats in

non-hydrogenated

vegetable oils, such as soybean and canola oils, for

example, were

not associated with infertility in the study.
