Another overlooked possibility is poor nutrition in the early stages of pregnancy

I heard anecdotally comparison of a vegan + meat eating placenta - very unfavourable

I don’t know - we should be doing population studies to create informed choices

I read a headline some years back that a study of pregnant women in NYC found toxins (generally) in large amounts. The environment in which we live plays into our health no doubt. A few decades ago there was an article that discussed the study of diseases and life spans based on where and for how people lived. I think older studies of food/environment on humans had no other purpose than to highlight the findings. I am leery of more recent studies that look to prove something for an agenda. CA outlaws everything and puts warning labels on everything. Glyphosate (do not know about 'other herbicides' when properly used at the right time, have a profound and positive effect on the volume of production.
