See article keywords and concepts |  As a long-time supporter of infant health and prenatal nutrition, I know the value of preventing disease at an early age rather than poisoning everybody with chemicals and waiting for diseases to develop later in life.
Bisphenol A is such a dangerous chemical that I have no doubt it will one day be banned from all food and beverage products (California is already trying to enact a ban on the chemical in children's products). But why wait for the legislators to get around to it? You can protect your baby's health today by buying BPA-free baby bottles from the Born Free company.
Five stars. |

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. | | 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. |

See article keywords and concepts |  But with prenatal nutrition, it's doubly important to have organic, free-range meat that's not contaminated with pesticides and heavy metals.
Meat consumption harms the planet
There are tremendous implications resulting from the mass consumption of meat products by the American population, such as the fact that it takes 10 times as much land to create meat protein as it does similar quantities of protein from vegetables. We're also seeing the clear-cutting of rain forests, in the Amazon especially, in order to create grazing land for cattle. |

See book keywords and concepts |  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. |

See book keywords and concepts |  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. |
Gabriel Cousens, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  The biggest single cause for this weakening is poor parental pre-fertilization and prenatal nutrition.
Another interesting point about the importance of peri-natal nutrition is that children born to indigenous parents living on the processed-food diet had a "greatly increased incidence of tuberculosis as compared to the children whose parents stayed on the native diet of natural whole foods. Those with the increased incidence of tuberculosis also had changes in their facial structures and dental arch form. | | One of the most important points I am making in this chapter is that we can significantly improve the health of our offspring by proper prenatal nutrition of both parents, and high-quality nutrition for the mother during pregnancy. The nutrition of prospective fathers also plays an important role. They are one-half of the germ plasm biology. These ideas are explored in depth in Chapter 30, "Nutrition for Pregnancy."
Insight regarding the importance of nutrition in the creation of healthy babies and the maintenance of healthy germ cell plasm for all our offspring is not new. | | It is a problem that is becoming more pronounced as the quality of our cultural nutrition patterns in general, and our prenatal nutrition patterns specifically, move further away from the high quality of an organic, whole, natural food diet.
In addition to the problems of a high processed-food diet, we have the problem of nutritionally depleted soils, which undermines the quality of all our foods. Healthy soils create healthy plants, and healthy plants create healthy babies. | | 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. They all had special nutrition programs and special foods before insemination and during pregnancy. | | Human pre-pregnancy and prenatal nutrition has the potential to minimize the influence of heredity. The will, thoughts, feelings, and desires of conscious parents, and most particularly the mother, may positively or negatively affect the expression of heredity and the consciousness of the child during pregnancy and lactation. In India, people have had this awareness for thousands of years. There are stories of Indian queens and kings playing different music and having different meditations during pregnancy in order to affect the consciousness of the fetus. | | With proper prenatal nutrition, the germ plasm health of the pigs was restored and they no longer had defective offspring.
I believe that humans mirror the same biological process as the cats, rats, and pigs. With poor nutrition, the germ plasm is weakened and we produce children with physical congenital changes and diminished brain function. This helps to explain the almost epidemic proportion of hyperactivity and increasing rates of addiction in our children. Recent statistics show that one hundred thousand children between the ages of ten and eleven get drunk on a weekly basis. |

Food and Healing, Annemarie Colbin, Ballantine Books, New York, 1986. A classic book, this volume covers the practical use of foods and home remedies to deal with common ailments. It is written from a largely macrobiotic point of view, and backed up by the author's many years of experience. |

All three LCPs are strongly linked to successful pregnancy and normal birth weight. GLA is important to development of a healthy placenta to filter and nourish the infant while in utero. AA is associated with normal birth weight, circumference of the baby's head, placental weight, and cardiovascular development. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Inadequate prenatal nutrition can result in underdevelopment of the facial and jaw bones, which can later impair smooth functioning of the craniosacral system. Difficult delivery, extended periods of engagement (the time the baby's head is in the birth canal), or the incorrect application of forceps, even suction, can produce severe stresses and distortion to the growing cranial tissues.This consequently can affect the baby's general health. Many of these stresses to the newborn's craniosacral system are normally considered untreatable by conventional medicine and often go unnoticed. | | The information offered in a prenatal course will help eliminate some of the doubts and fears that surround childbirth, as well as provide practical information such as prenatal nutrition. Classes will vary, so when researching those available, all prospective students should inquire about class size, number of classes in the course, cost, philosophy, subjects covered, background, and training of the instructor. Couples should choose the class that fits comfortably with their own philosophy and needs. |

If the RDAs are low, the food will cost less. Every time they are raised, the food industry has to supply expensive food additives to meet the RDAs and to provide impressive labels for food packages.
