The Best Start in Life

For twenty years, Professor David Barker, has undertaken ground-breaking research into the relationships between diet and heart disease. His findings have shattered existing medical thinking with the discovery that, far from being caused by rich food and a sedentary lifestyle, heart disease actually begins in the womb. Professor Barker has revealed how the food mothers eat before and during pregnancy, and the food they feed their babies in the first three, crucial years of their lives after birth can determine the child's chances of having a heart attack as an adult.
