The doctors found that coffee consumption reduces fertility by women, who had had problems with conception
According to BBC, doctors from the Radboud University in Nijmegen, Netherlands, under the direction of Bea Linsten, have found that coffee consumption reduces fertility by women, who had had problems with conception. Scientists kept under observation over 9 thousand of patients, who have used the in vitro fertilisation (IVF) procedure from 1985 to 1995. 16% of them were able to become pregnant naturally after IVF hormone therapy. The subject of investigation was the lifestyle and food habits of women. It turned out that the use of four or more cups of coffee per day for 26% reduces the probability to become pregnant.
The usage of alcohol at least three times a week to the same extent reduces these chances, and smoking (even if the matter concerns one cigarettes per day) in combination with excess weight reduces the reproductive performance of women. For example, 36-year-old woman, who is smoker and coffee-lover, with excess weight, three times resorted to IVF, has naturally probability of pregnancy only at 5%. In normal weight and the absence of three other risk factors with the same woman, her chances of getting pregnant are 15%.
