so im reading the new york times for work, researching about the new kennedy healthy american choices act for my analysis of it and found this article about fat people that reminds me of the recycled new years day conversation i just had with vanessa yesterday. however for the time being, lets go ahead and blame her..
"In fact, new research suggests that the environment that most strongly influences body composition may be the very first one anybody experiences: the womb.
According to several animal studies, conditions during pregnancy, including the mother’s diet, may determine how fat the offspring are as adults. Human studies have shown that women who eat little in pregnancy, surprisingly, more often have children who grow into fat adults. More than a dozen studies have found that children are more likely to be fat if their mothers smoke during pregnancy."
I wonder what other factors play into the smoking correlation. I've seen other studies where they name the primary causal factor in their study, but the study left out obvious other external forces that seemed to be more important, but were just outside the scope of the work.
ReplyDeletewell theres the also the obvious correlation between smoking and cutting off oxygen to the brain of the child. i've always blamed our retarded mother smoking more during my pregnancy than yours as the reason why your like a genius and im just clever.
