Women who consume sugary drinks while having IVF cut their chances of conceiving, new research reveals.

Drinking more than one sugary beverage a day reduces a woman’s chance of having a live birth after IVF by 16 percent, a Harvard University study found.

Having just one sugary drink a day lowers the chance of successful IVF by 12 percent, the research adds.

Sugary drinks also reduce the number and maturity of a woman’s ovarian cells, as well as lowering the amount of high-quality embryos, the study found.

Previous research suggests sugar stimulates the release of stress hormones that affect the health of the reproductive system. Eggs and embryos may also fail to thrive in high blood glucose environments.
