Maternal Supplement, Micronutrient, and Cured Meat Intake during Pregnancy and Risk of Medulloblastoma during Childhood: A Children’s Oncology Group Study
While this is a very unfair situation and I am not casting blame in any one parents’ direction, I do strongly blame society for believing that childhood cancers are a “luck of the draw” scenario that we have little control over.
I have always strongly believed that the environment in the womb does a huge amount of programming of that infant for the decades to come, and this article further supports that. It also should be some type of impetus to get doctors away from those poor quality pharmaceutical prenatal vitamins that just barely provide enough folic acid and iron to address the anemia and neural tube defect issues but nothing else of substance.
