Eating Eggs When Pregnant may be good for offspring

Interesting study. Short version: extra eggs (they contain choline) while pregnant MAY (can not stress that enough, MAY) influence the type of cancer (slow growth as opposed to fast growth) that offspring have. BUT very early study.

Eating Eggs When Pregnant Affects Breast Cancer In Offspring:

"Although animals in all groups developed mammary cancer, the daughters of mothers that had received extra choline during pregnancy had slow growing tumors while daughters of mothers that had no choline during pregnancy had fast growing tumors.

'Our study provides additional support for the notion that choline is an important nutrient that has to be considered when dietary guidelines are developed,' said Krzysztof Blusztajn, Ph.D., Professor of Pathology at Boston University and the study's senior researcher. 'We hope it will be possible to develop nutritional guidelines for pregnant women that ensure the good health of their offspring well into old age."
