Dietary Restriction Early In Prenancy Has Negative Impact On Fetal Brain Development

A license for the fat to eat even more.
A research team that includes scientists from the Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research (SFBR) reported today that inadequate nutrition during early pregnancy impairs fetal brain development.

The researchers found decreased formation of cell-to-cell connections, cell division and amounts of growth factors in the fetuses of mothers fed a reduced diet during the first half of pregnancy, in baboons located at SFBR's Southwest National Primate Research Center.
You can bet that is how it will be interpreted.
