A Healthy Diet During Pregnancy Cuts Birth Defects

A recent study at Stanford University claims that pregnant women who have a healthy diet are less likely give birth to babies with a birth defect. According to TimeSpecials, A typical "healthy diet" of women who are pregnant consists of chowing down on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lower amounts of saturated fats and sweets. Women with these eating habits were up to 50% less likely to to have a baby with anencephaly, a serious birth defect in which the brain doesn't fully form. The healthier-eating women were also up to 20% less likely to give birth to an infant with spina bifida and up to 30% less likely to have a baby with a cleft lip or cleft palate.

I found this study interesting because it was very focused on the quality of diet, not just on the specifics of eating healthy. Also, linking diet to birth defects is not very common, and it is fascinating to see how/why they effect one another.
