Feed your unborn baby well! New research...

10/6/2010

According to a recent article in the New York Times, "researchers are finding indications that obesity, diabetes and mental illness among adults are all related in part to what happened in the womb decades earlier. "  

One part of the article I found particularly interesting is the study that showed that when rats were fed junk food while pregnant their offspring were more likely to choose junk food once born.  Of course this leads to obesity issues, which we see increasing  in humans at an alarm rate in this country.  More than 60% of all children are considered obese!!   And the studies that show the effects of chemicals, including pesticides, that mothers are exposed to while pregnant are particularly alarming.  

These studies really help support the movement towards eating more healthy organic foods especially when pregnant and for infants and children.    If you are pregnant, know someone who's pregnant or are thinking about having children, please share this important information.   You can read the entire article at http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/03/opinion/03kristof.html?_r=1

I'd love to hear your feedback!

    About Rawls

    Hi,
    I'm Rawls Whittlesey, President of Gaia's Greens.  I am a Certified Nutrition Consultant (CNC), Yoga Teacher (RYT200) and Self-Proclaimed Greenie!   I started Gaia's Greens so that, selfishly, I could get fresh organic produce each week and could share my find with my friends.  I was so tired of the 60 mile round trip hike to WF or TJ's, and was determined to stick with organics for my health!
