The Claim
Caloric restriction during pregnancy causes intrauterine growth restriction in mammals through reduced fetal nutrient availability and altered placental function, resulting in long-term health consequences for offspring.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When pregnant mammals don't get enough food, their babies grow slower inside the womb because they don't get enough nutrients and the placenta doesn't work right. This can lead to health problems for the babies later in life.
