Fetus Suffers When Mother Lacks Vitamin C

The University of Copenhagen has newly published in their scientific journal that lack of Vitaman C in a mother can have serious implications on a child's brain. Once brain damage has occurred it cannot be reversed after birth with Vitamin C supplements. Pregnant guinea pigs and their pups were used to come too this conclusion, the experiment led by Professor Jens Lykkesfeldt. Like humans, guinea pigs cannot produce Vitamin C making them an ideal target. Studies indicate that ten to twenty percent of all adults in the worlds have a Vitamin C deficiency. All in all once the damage is done it can't be reversed, so everyone, especially mother's should think twice about complementing their diet with necessary vitamins like Vitamin C for them AND their offspring.Fetus damage from lack of Vitamin C- ScienceDaily
