After sending them to that big pasture in the sky, he ages the meat at 32şF (0şC) for between 40 and 100 days...

Chavarro, co-author of the report and research fellow at HSPH, the specific dietary patterns include taking multivitamins containing folic acid and iron, avoiding trans fats, and choosing fish, eggs, and whole grains over chicken, red meat, and white bread. The researchers conducted the study by surveying a group of 18,000 women struggling with infertility on their lifestyle and diets. Chavarro said that there are many causes of infertility in women, including blocked fallopian tubes, which cannot be treated by strictly dietary and physical...
