Why does refined or processed foods, and junk food cause a problem with fertility?
Food additives such as MSG greatly reduce pregnancy success. MSG (Monosodium Glutamate), a common flavor enhancer added in foods, was found to cause infertility problems in test animals. Test animals fed MSG before mating had less than a 50% success rate (5 of 13 animals), whereas test animals not fed MSG had over a 92% success rate (12 of 13 animals). Also the offspring of the MSG treated animals showed shorter body length, reduced testes weights and evidence of overweight at 25 days. MSG is found in ACCENT, flavored potato chips, Doritos, Cheetos, meat seasonings and many packaged soups. (Drs. William J. Pizzi, June E. Barnhart, et. al.
