Fast food ‘delays time to pregnancy’

Women who eat less fruit and more fast food take longer to get pregnant and are less likely to conceive within a year.

Compared with women who ate fruit three or more times a day in the month before conception, women who ate fruit less than one to three times a month took half a month longer to become pregnant, says a new study.

Similarly, compared with women who never or rarely ate fast food, women who consumed fast food four or more times a week took a month longer to become pregnant.
