CAFFEINE CONSUMPTION CAN DRIVE FEMALE INFERTILITY


Caffeine consumption
Can drive female infertility

 Caffeine reduces muscle activity in the fallopian tubes that carry eggs from a woman's ovaries to her womb, which can reduce a woman's chance of becoming pregnant.'This finding goes a long way towards explaining why drinking caffeinated drinks can reduce a woman's chance of becoming pregnant,' says Sean Ward, who led the study. Ward is professor of physiology and cell biology at the University of Nevada School of Medicine who conducted these experiments on mice.Human eggs are microscopically small, but need to travel to a woman's womb if she is going to have a successful pregnancy, according to a Nevada statement. Although the process is essential for a successful pregnancy, scientists know little about how eggs move through the muscular Fallopian tubes, reports the British Journal of Pharmacology.
