A stunning discovery based on epigenetics (the inheritance of propensities acquired in the womb) reveals that consuming choline — a nutrient found in eggs and other foods — during pregnancy may significantly affect breast cancer outcomes for a mother’s offspring. This finding is the first to link choline consumption during pregnancy to breast cancer. It also is the first to identify possible choline-related genetic changes that affect breast cancer survival rates. The ‘genetic impact’ of a pregnant woman’s diet has a profound effect on her child.
