Mothers Given Multiple Micronutrient Supplementation Give Birth To Bigger And Heavier Children

Still more they have no idea what "healthy" food is.

"When mothers are given multiple micronutrient supplementation (MMN,) they tend to give birth to children who are bigger and heavier. This is contrast to mothers given just iron and folic acid supplementation (IFA). The effect continues into the first three years of the children's lives, according to an article in the February 8 issue of The Lancet, which follows up the Lancet Series on Maternal and Child Undernutrition.

While it is already known that low birthweight affects child morbidity and survival rates in developing countries, it is not always clear what effect interventions to increase birthweight can have on child health."

Fatter fetuses, fatter kids, fatter adults, seems to be the pattern.
