Default transfats linked to female infertility?

Highlight:

"Each 2% increase in the intake of energy from trans unsaturated fats, as opposed to that from carbohydrates, was associated with a 73% greater risk of ovulatory infertility," even after adjustment for fertility risk factors. Hypothesis: Trans fats disrupt a fertility-boosting "cell receptor involved in inflammation, glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity."

I can't say I'm surprised. We have to stop putting things in our bodies that are manufactured. Processed foods are not for human consumption. I'm not sure they are even good enough for our pets.
