Eating fruit and veg 'halves miscarriage risk' | the Daily Mail

Eating fruit and veg 'halves miscarriage risk' | the Daily Mail:
"A good diet is vital in pregnancy. Eating fruit and vegetables daily halves the chance of miscarriage, research shows.

A study of thousands of pregnant women revealed those who included fruit and veg regularly in their diet were 46 per cent less likely to miscarry.

Chocolate, vitamin tablets, dairy products, fish and white meat also increased the odds of a successful pregnancy.

Underweight women, however, 70% more likely to miscarry. There was also a slight increase in miscarriage in women whose partners were over the age of 45"
