wrenbI was watching yesterday's Colbert Report and he talked about a recent health report regarding fertility and low-fat dairy. Now ordinarily these studies show a positive effect of consuming low-fat dairy. New Scientist has a good article about this Harvard School of Public Health study. They followed a cohort of nurses for 8 years, and found a strong correlation between ovulation problems and consuming 2+ servings of low-fat dairy per week. The women who ate full-fat dairy "reduced their risk of anovulatory infertility by more than 25% compared with women who consumed up to one serving a week."
Guess I'm buying whole milk for the next few months! It can't hurt, as long as I reduce calories somewhere else.

Date: 2007-03-07 06:38 pm (UTC)Good med website? Not so much. Which is why I referred to New Scientisy rather than any of the webnews outlets I found the study reported in. I believe that the study size was 800. So not huge, but not too small.
And anyway, as long as I don't *gain* weight, I don't foresee whole milk hurting me. Especially as it's coming from my favorite organic dairy. The milk is not homogenized, and there's a lovely layer of cream on top. Good milk!
