A health study has found that high fat dairy products may help women who are having difficulty conceiving because of ovulation problems. The study, from the Harvard School of Public Health's Nurses Health Study found on average women who ate on high fat dairy product each day were 27 percent less like to suffer from infertility because of a lack of ovulation. The results were published in the Oxford journal Human Reproduction.

Women should not pry open a tub of Haagen Daz just yet, however. Researchers admit the results were based on what women said they ate over several years, not from a controlled study where participants were closely monitored. If that weren't enough, researchers based their results on how much ice cream women ate and adjusts the findings according to their weights, meaning weight could actually be the cause of fertility problems, rather than low-fat dairy consumption.

It is absolutely outrageous that qualified researchers and medical professionals are spending money on studies that have little scientific merit because of the way in which they are conducted. Hopefully women will take this information for what it is, an interesting theory about the cause of infertility. This is not a green light to eat copious amounts of high fat dairy products.
