Pregnant women who eat more fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and eat fewer foods high in things like saturated fats and sugar, have a lower risk of giving birth to babies with specific birth defects.

That’s the takeaway from a study released today by Stanford University School of Medicine Department of Pediatrics. The study showed pregnant women with healthy eating habits are less likely to have babies with neural tube defects (malformations of the brain or spine) and orofacial clefts (such as cleft lip or cleft palate).

A Stanford study says medical schools across the U.S. and Canada aren’t spending enough time teaching about gay and lesbian health care needs.
