There is a new warning to women about drinking red wine or using the popular supplement Resveratrol in hopes of boosting fertility.

Researchers at the University of Portland conducted a test on pregnant monkeys, and found those who were given resveratrol, a natural compound found in red wine, sustained damage to their fetus' pancreas.

While wine has been shown to boost fertility, they are advising women who are trying to get pregnant to not drink wine.
