The study,
published October 30, 2017 in JAMA Internal Medicine, looked at 325 women
undergoing infertility treatment as part of the Environment and Reproductive Health (EARTH) study. Researchers compared information about the
women’s diet, drawn from questionnaires they filled out, with U.S. government
data on average pesticide residues on fresh fruits and vegetables, in order to
estimate the women’s diet-related exposure to pesticides.
The study found
that women who ate more than two servings of high-pesticide fruits or
vegetables each day, compared with women who ate an average of one each day,
were 18% less likely to become pregnant and 26% less likely to have a live
birth than women with the lowest exposure.
Jorge Chavarro, associate professor of
nutrition and epidemiology at Harvard Chan School and senior author of the
study, said that women trying to conceive may want to limit their intake of
high-pesticide fruits and vegetables or eat organic versions, or choose
low-pesticide produce such as avocados, onions, or oranges. “I am now more willing to buy organic apples than I was a few
months ago,” he told TIME. (This article was first published on Harvard
