Hey!! Are you referring to this statement? “According to a recent Harvard Study, dark chocolate is recommended in the top 5 foods to eat when trying to conceive. It is recommended that a 70% cocoa piece of dark chocolate can increase microcirculation in the ovaries (11).” The other foods listed by Harvard are salmon, spinach, whole grains, and beans. It’s important to remember no one food is going to increase your chances of conceiving (there is no hard evidence to support this claim for any food), it’s really more about your overall diet than anything!
