What are some effects of poor fetal nutrition?

In utero, if you feed your baby fewer nutrients, you're programming your child to expect an environment of deprivation ex-utero. So genes that cause the fetus to be very thrifty (metabolically speaking) are turned on. Once the baby is born and the external environment is not one of deprivation, that child will conserve more of the food it gets and become fatter, exhibiting what's known as a thrifty phenotype.

More fat storage equals an increased likelihood of becoming overweight and developing heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, cancer, and even osteoporosis as an adult. It's similar to the reason why starvation diets don't work: Your metabolism slows and your body goes into fat-storage mode when it thinks it's faced with famine. Poor fetal nutrition may also permanently change the structure and development of vital organs like the brain.

In some cases, these epigenetic changes can even be passed on to future generations, as well.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
