I just read in a womens magazine that eating raw ffruits and vegetables "a detox diet" could help infertility. Has any one else heard of this or known it to be true???
Could it possibly help those of us that arent infertile but are having problems concieving ( I have PCOS) ???
What do you think ?

If you have PCOS then yes. Studies suggest that PCOS may be caused by too much sugar, as women w/ pcos usually have sugar issues or diabetes.
So cutting out your sugars, your processed foods as well as making a better choice for carbohydrates (whole grain breads) and eating a diet rich in fiber-such as raw fruits and veggies. As well as healthier choice in proteins-such as fish and chicken instead of beef. Definitely anything to help your body flush itself is a good thing for your well being.

Since many diets are poor in fruits and veggies, any additional portions from those food groups will benefit overall health, resulting in increased fertility. Eating them raw can't hurt either, unless they are not organic, possibility of residual pesticides and such. Cooking is said to alter some vitamins and enzymes so that they are not as beneficial. I have no clue if it will help with your PCOS problem, but I don't see how it can hurt.

I don't see why it would hurt you if you tried it. I have not heard anything about it. Asking your doctor would be the best way to tell if it is good for YOU!
Sorry! Good Luck
