Pre-Natal "Programming" and Adult Health
http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/1999-10-18/pre-natal-programming-and-adult-health
Everyone knows that a mother's balanced diet and healthy lifestyle help the proper development of a baby before it's born. But a new book by a Cornell University medical researcher argues that conditions in the womb can be a predictor for serious medical conditions late in life, including heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. The author and a panel of other medical experts discuss the impact of life in the womb on adult health and disease.
