posted 10/30/09
In a new study published in Pediatric Diabetes, researchers found that women who consumed the least amount of vegetables during pregnancy were more likely to have babies who developed type 1 diabetes.
Compared with women who ate vegetables daily, those consuming vegetables only three to five times per week had a 71 percent increased riskof having a child with diabetes.
