quote *** Trying To Get Pregnant? Don't Eat Too Much Protein
POSTED: 2:46 pm EDT June 28, 2004
Low-carb, high-protein diets are all the rage these days,
but they might not be the best option for women hoping to
become pregnant.
A diet moderately high in protein could reduce a woman's
chances of conceiving, according to a study presented Monday
at a conference of the European Society of Human
Reproduction and Embryology.
Researchers from the Colorado Center for Reproductive
Medicine in Englewood, Colo., found that a diet
containing 25 percent protein disrupted the normal
genetic imprinting pattern in mice embryos at a very
early stage in their development. It also hindered embryo
implantation in the womb.
"Although our investigations were conducted in mice, our
data may have implications for diet and reproduction in
humans," said Dr. David Gardner, the study's lead
researcher.
The average American diet consists of 14 percent protein,
according to the American Heart Association. *** unquote
Let's see... how do we test a low-carb diet on pregnant
humans.... hmmm... hey I know, let's get some 100%
herbivorous animals and feed them a 25% protein diet
then try to pretend that somehow it relates to a
primarily carnivorous omnivore like us humans. Yeah,
that's the ticket.
What a bunch of complete frikkin' idiots. And this is what
passes as science today. And this guy apparently was able
to get an advanced degree at an American university. And
he gets this [censored] published... and the press actually
picks it up!!!!
Un-frikkin'-believable.
