News this morning.

Post by Lieva »

Today I heard that apparently, eating a bowl of Ice-Cream per day will increase womens fertility and help them have children more easily.
This is a nice thing :)

However, during this survey scientists also found something..well..quite disturbing.

It seems, on the flip-side, women who eat more than TWO low-fat meals per day will actually decrease their fertility and make it more difficult for them to have children.

Now, I have a tendancy to look at "worst case senario" things, so here it is.

With the increased pressure on children/parents/schools to make sure children are not obese, this will put into effect that eating 'low fat' food is healthy, therefore we are raising lower-fertility rate girls.

Also what if lowering your fertility will turn into something genetic?

A woman obsessed with dieting and eating low fat will find it difficult to conceive. She eventually does and her daughter grows up to have the same sort of lifestyle. She finds it even harder. If it continues then possibly the 4th/5th generation of the first woman will find it nigh impossible to have children.

Like I said, this is very worst case senario but it is a frightening thought.
Possibly as little as 50yrs time we will see more and more cases like this..

Even now, how many women are saying they find it hard to concieve compared to 20yrs ago?

It is an interesting fact that on the 'Slim Fast' diet they say. Eat one slim fast for breakfast. One for Tea and a proper meal at night.

Perhaps this has been known for longer than is said?

Anyway :) Discuss :)

I thought the increasing conception problems of the last couple of decades were due to the majority of men producing ever lower numbers of less & less healthy sperma due to environmental & stress factors related to our modern neo-liberal lifestyles?

Decreased birth rates as population increases is a good thing otherwise there wont be room on the planet.

We already know that as a population increases birth rates decrease, however the opposite is also true until you get to a danger point whereby a population is effectively extinct because there isn't enough males/females to recover.

Regardless, not only is it nothing to worry about but if birth rates are decreasing, whatever the cause it's a good thing.

you can be so heartless sometimes. I agree if it happens to ppl that dont want kids but if it happens to a couple that want kids and will be good parents then it sucks. I just cant imagine what it would be like not to be able to have kids.

And Oohhoo, thats what i've heard aswell. But it makes perfect sense that the blame cant be put with the men only, i'm sure the women have a big responsibility in all of it aswell.

What worries me about that article.

ALL Walkers Crisps (a main snack food in england) would be classed as 'low fat' food as it is cooked in a low fat oil. You cannot get the 'old style' crisps any longer from walkers.

How many other products that we eat daily ARE low fat?

Rule of thumb of this.

Fit (slim women) get ****ed a lot there for it's good they don't get preggars all time.

However obese un-attractive women are result of love or mostly too much alcohol and so they get preggars easily

In the end this is probably a good thing ..

And the majority of hot babes are crap parents cause they care so much for them selves.

And women who obese or un-attractive are not cared by other sex so they learn to either wallow is self pity and use children as scape goats OR become loving brilliant people who make excellent parents (mostly)
(im talking majorities everyone is different just generalising)

So what would you rather be?

I expect to see a hell of a lot more chavs vandalising places in near future (this is not including pregnant at age of 16 or lower)

Worlds a fantastic place .. (my opinion don't count i was just bored moley: )
