Amazon's Description:

The first 1,000 days, from conception to two years of age, is a critical period of growth and development. Exposures to dietary, environmental, hormonal, and other stressors during this window have been associated with an increased risk of poor health outcomes, some of which are irreversible. The book addresses this crucial interval of early life across biological disciplines, linking concepts related to all biological fields to outcomes during the first 1,000 days (e.g. fetal growth and pregnancy outcomes) and beyond (e.g. gut microbiome and cardiovascular disease later in life). The strength of this book lies in its cross-disciplinary nature.

    Subtitled: Oxidative Stress and Disease

    Seriously? Worried about oxidative stress from conception to 2 years old, and chronic diseases?

  • It's well known that people turn into morons when they become parents and start believing that watching certain DVD's is essential to their childs development or that they'll be "left behind" if they don't own a tablet at age 3 despite believing that staring at a screen was bad a mere 10 years ago or that their child's low school marks are as a result of their slow internet speeds.

      Don't forget to play Mozart to your baby in the womb or instead of a genius they will end up an unemployed alcoholic. These womb speakers priced at just $199.95 will help.

  • My first 1000 days were boring. Why people want to know that?
