Obesity hurts a woman's chances of conception

So does ugly. Frequently the two track each other. Funny how that works.

"Obesity decreases the chances that a woman will get pregnant, and the more obese she is, the worse her prospects of conception, Dutch researchers said on Tuesday...

However, the researchers did not track the timing and frequency of sexual intercourse, which may have affected the results. Some studies have shown that obesity is linked with less frequent sex and reduced sexual desire."

"Reduced sexual desire"? Now how is that possible?

We need an answer. Now. Who are you going to call? Stedman.

The following is clearly mistaken and clearly self-serving:

"The researchers said the finding should be tested in further studies, especially given the rising rates of obesity.

'Owing to the fact that more women of child bearing age are becoming overweight and obese, this is a worrying finding,' they wrote."

It would be even more worrisome if they had more children since they would be almost certainly condemned to nutritional child abuse.

But when you are a fatness researcher you need to call for more research no matter who is hurt so long as you can make your money.
