So depending on what you eat, these little switches will program your baby's DNA differently.
So there's a lot of stuff going on and not just this passive oven.
Well, so one thing to know is that even if you don't follow any of these recommendations, your baby will probably be fine.
Like that is one of the beautiful things about humans is that we're very resilient.
But let me take a very simple example, sugar.
So when you're pregnant, your baby doesn't actually need you to eat sugar, right?
Yet we have these cravings for like ice cream and chocolate, et cetera.
So many moms end up eating way more sugar when they're pregnant than when they're not pregnant.
The thing is, we know from this incredible study from the UK
that looked at people who were in the wombs of their mothers between 1940 and 1953 and who were in the womb of mothers just before and just after.
And the reason this is key is because from 1940 to 1953 in the UK, there was a rationing because of the war and pregnant moms only had access to a certain amount of sugar.
And that was the same for the rest of the population.
Anyway, scientists 60 years later, they look at these babies who were developing while moms had less access to sugar.
And they saw that in this baby's entire lifetime, they all had a 15% lower risk of having developed diabetes.
The only difference was that their moms were eating about 40 grams of sugar versus the average before and after which was 80 grams.
So the amount of sugar you eat when you're pregnant seems to calibrate your baby's vulnerability to things like type 2 diabetes and obesity.
And so why is that?
First of all, we have to understand that when we're pregnant, our bloodstream and our baby's bloodstream is pretty much connected, not technically connected and touching, but
Pretty much.
There's no filter.
