A Different Kind of Pregnancy Plan

Bacon and eggs could help pregnant women boost their baby's intelligence 

Women are usually given a list of foods to avoid during pregnancy and it is well documented that a pregnant woman's diet can affect her unborn baby. But the new study suggests that a chemical in pork products and eggs can help the baby's growing brain to develop.  Scientists at the University of North Carolina have discovered that the micronutrient, called choline, is vital in helping babies in the womb develop parts of their brains linked to memory and recall. In a study of the effects of choline on the brains of baby mice, those fed small doses of choline while in the womb had genetic differences to those given large amounts.

Jennifer: I’ll consider eating bacon and eggs for breakfast when we learn I’m pregnant with baby mice.

Bill: That would make the cats happy – “Natasha, come back here with little William!”
