 "These associations support a role for prenatal nutrition in type 2 diabetes.
In the Nurses' Health Study [96], the inverse association between birth weights and diabetes remained significant even after adjustment for adult adiposity. The increased relative risk was seen among lean, moderate, and obese women, indicating that in utero growth had independent effects from adult body weight on the risk for developing type 2 diabetes. The greatest risk remained, however, in women of low birth weight who developed obesity as adults [96].
Data obtained from rat studies confirm human observations."- Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "FAS represents an example of a developmental disability where prenatal nutrition likely plays a major role in the etiology. This is due to (1) the dietary energy provided by alcohol (7.1kcal/g or 29.7 kJ), which replaces foods containing essential micronu-trients, thereby putting the mother and fetus at risk for nutrient deficiencies, and (2) the interference of alcohol with the metabolism of all fat and water-soluble vitamins [35], especially folate, and zinc." - Ann M.

 "Following is more proof of how important prenatal nutrition is, and the effects it can have on the fetus, as stated in an article found in an issue of the Los Angeles Family Magazine, titled "You Are What Your Mother Ate: Prenatal Causes Of Adult Diseases", as follows:
[Medical scientist, David Barker] found that babies born with low birth weights had a higher incidence of a number of chronic cardiovascular conditions as adults, including heart disease, hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes and raised cholesterol."- Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.) |
 "Prenatal Insanity
Meanwhile, the feeble attempts at prenatal nutrition contribute to the statistics. Political efforts to justify this behavior are based upon the partial truths of bogus studies performed by organizations with vested interests and ulterior motives. This is compounded by efforts to placate a population laden with functional learning disabilities by suggesting that pharmaceutical intervention presents the most viable alternative to managing these ravaging disorders."- Richard, Dr. DiCenso, Beyond Medicine, exploring a new way of thinking (Get the book.) |
 "Your Nutrition and Your Child's Future
Most books and articles about prenatal nutrition and child development focus on health after conception, that is, after a woman realizes she is pregnant. In reality, nutrition—both the mother's and father's—impacts a child long before conception: both the sperm and ova are derived from tissues that are also subject to free-radical attack. This fact is especially important for the mother, because she carries the same ova cells throughout her reproductive life."- Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.) |
 "I do, however, recommend special attention to prenatal nutrition. Two sources of information are Adele Davis's Let's Have Healthy Children (New York: Harcourt, Brace Jovanovich) and Richard Passwater's Supernutrition (New York: Dial Press).
I would be remiss if I failed to touch on the issue of toxins, however briefly. Toxins can present a major threat to your baby's nervous system. Fetuses are notoriously helpless against poisonous substances of all kinds. They have virtually no capability of cleansing their systems, once invaded."- Win Wenger, Ph.D. and Richard Poe, The Einstein Factor: A Proven New Method for Increasing Your Intelligence (Get the book.) |
 "Organic food is a must for maintaining health and for optimal pre-fertilization and prenatal nutrition.
Many indigenous cultures were and are aware of the importance of pre-fertilization and prenatal nutrition. In some cases special nutritional food was given to prospective fathers as well as to the mothers in preparation for pregnancy. Some of these peoples include the Eskimos, South Sea islanders, natives of Badu Island north of Australia, the Gaelics in the Outer Hebrides, coastal Peruvian Indians, the cattle tribes of Africa, and the Swiss in the Loetschental Valley."- Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Conscious Eating (Get the book.) |
