Whilst writing my debut book, High Heels and Ice Cream ISBN 978-0-9555212-0-1…..I just knew that there had to be a connection!

Yup, the original study I think you're referring to is here And actually, it seems that low-fat dairy not only lacks the hormones, fats and other beneficial goodies in high fat dairy, but low-fat dairy may actually be detrimental to your fertility. Specifically, you'll be less likely to be fertile if you consume low-fat dairy than if you consume no dairy at all! In fact, the negative effect of low-fat dairy in the study was even stronger than the positive effect of high fat dairy. This is a big deal; it's yet another sign that industrially processed, unnatural foods like low-fat dairy are not so good for us. Give me the high-fat, vitamin-rich, raw milk of grass-fed cows (or goats or sheep) any day. And I'm not even trying to conceive. Food Is Love

Hi Liberty! Thanks for the link! The ice cream correlation is one that I think we ALL enjoy. I would make a plug to aim for ice cream that’s as organic as it can be (ideally from grass-fed, non growth hormone injected cows) to help ensure you’re getting max benefits, minimum yucky stuff.
