Sift through the confusion and learn what the scientific literature shows about optimal nutrition

I have been appalled at the misinformation being taught to pregnant women by child birth educators and midwives.  It is critical that solid education be given so that pregnant women can receive proper information on what they can do to affect the outcome of their pregnancy.

Much of the confusion about diet and health has been caused by special interest groups funding research and promoting diets based on products they sell rather than truthful information about optimal human nutrition.
