Mothers who eat a diet high in transfats, also affect the brain development of their babies.

The reality of ADHD being genetic is not totally proven.

So is Glutamine. http://www.jacn.org/cgi/content/full/19/4/434 We know that low cholesterol in the mother (pregnant females CANNOT use cholesterol lowering meds) leads to a form of autism in the infants. Cholesterol is very important to the developing brain. http://www.breastfeeding-mom.com/nut...east-milk.html This chart is interesting: http://74.125.95.104/search?q=cache:...lnk&cd=1&gl=us |
