Is the intake of canned foods advisable when it comes to female fertility?

By Marta Barranquero Gómez B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 09/08/2022

No. Both canned and plastic-packed foods may contain traces of Bisphenol A, a chemical compound that acts as an endocrine disruptor and interferes with the hormone cycle. Therefore, bisphenol A could worsen the quality of the oocytes and make it difficult to get pregnant.
