One of the things that make newborns so cute is the fact that their heads are slightly larger in proportion to their bodies than an adult head would be to its body. This is normal showing the emphasis of growth in the bodies control center. But with malnourished women, (gals who try to keep their weight down during pregnancy and gals who have followed the blanket prescription against eating fats) we see kids, newborns and toddlers with what seem to be super huge heads atop small frail and emaciated bodies. This malformation occurs when the mom is not taking in enough nutrition and the developing fetus has to decide to emphasize the building of the most important part of itself: the brain and head over the rest of the body. These kids have heads so large with bodies so small that they remind me of the cartoon rendition of the skinny space alien with the super big head!

Women used to care about building their babies over maintaining their figures. But now the dictates of fashion and the mental disease of anorexia take precedence over the building of a healthy child. One gal told me some years ago that she was getting all the nutrition she needed in her prescription pregnancy vitamin! She miscarried in month #8 with a terribly disfigured child as she wasn’t taking enough nutrition to fully build a child and she had little muscle, mineral and fat stores inside herself for the baby to take nutrition from.

The dictates of society have become so bad that now women are urged to have low birth weight babies! Something unheard of 30 year ago. Birth weight is the most important factor in determining the health, vitality and survivability of a child! Saying 5 pound babies are perfect is like saying getting a car with out all of it’s accessories built in and working is also okay! It is not. Docs are scaring women silly with stories of diabetes during pregnancy and then fooling them by hokey Glucose Tolerance Tests, that the rest of the nutritional world threw out as highly invalid 30 years ago. Dr. Carlton Fredricks wrote, at length, about the lack of validity and proper physiological rational for glucose tolerance testing. He warned, as well, of the side effects; from temporary blindness to psychosis that could be produced by the test. Today no serious alternative MD, ND or nutritionist uses or recommends these tests! Any healthy, non-soda guzzling gal who starves herself for 12 hours then takes in an amount of sugar equivalent to 4 liters of soda is going to have a skyrocket increase in blood sugar regardless of how non-diabetic she really is!!!
