Sex and crisps

[varsovian]

Yes, I did say crisps - chips for my Yankee-speaking chums!

A report came out into the effect of consuming trans-fats (e.g.hydrogenated
fat) on the fertility of women wishing to conceive. Absolutely horrific.

-
.... The scientists found that those who took two per cent of their energy
intake from trans fats, instead of carbohydrates or polyunsaturated fats such
as sunflower oil, had a 70 per cent greater risk of infertility through lack
of ovulation.

Those whose energy came from trans fats instead of monounsaturated fats such
as olive oil were twice as likely to have problems.

The amount of trans fats needed to reach the two per cent levels was just
four grams a day in a 2,000-calorie diet.

People could easily eat that much in a meal of pie and chips or just one
doughnut.

Lead researcher Dr Jorge Chavarro said: "It’s really a small amount of fats
that we observed having a significant effect on infertility."

It's also been proven scientifically that women who stuff their faces with
crisps are 60% less attractive than women who don't, and men who find bits of a
woman's crisps in their bed are 43% less likely to attempt to impregnate her
the following week.

But to set against that there is the statistic that men who can consume five
packs of Walkers prawn cocktail crisps in one sitting are 37.2% more likely to
be willing to perform minette than those who cannot. That may be the only way
they can see any action, mind.
