on 7-Feb-11 11:47amShould Pregnant Women go on a Raw Food Diet {A Raw Food Diet is one where 50 to 80% of the diet is Raw food i.e. where un-cooked, un-processed, and often organic foods form a large percentage of the diet. Raw food advocates typically believe that the greater the percentage of raw food in the diet, the greater the health of an individual}
"... research is also looking at the influence of various substances from the environment on the epigenetic constitution of organisms, including humans. Diet and epigenetics appear to be closely linked. The most well known example is that of the Agouti mice: they are yellow, fat and are prone to diabetes and cancer. If Agouti females are fed with a cocktail of vitamin B12, folic acid and cholin, directly prior to and during pregnancy, they give birth to mainly brown, slim and healthy offspring. They in turn mainly have offspring similar to themselves" -http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/04/090412081315.htm
