      Fetal Programming: The Connection between Nutrition and Disease offers an in-depth exploration on how a newborn’s intestinal microbiota is highly sensitive to a variety of influences, including delivery method, maternal diet, antibiotic and probiotic use, and environmental factors such as socioeconomic status and geographic location. The book emphasizes that these early-life exposures can disrupt the balance of gut bacteria, known as dysbiosis, setting the stage for a range of diseases from childhood through adulthood. Recognizing this vulnerable period, the text advocates for targeted interventions to support a healthy microbiota in newborns, potentially reducing the risk of chronic conditions later in life.Beyond its focus on gut health, the book identifies oxidative stress and poor nutrition as fundamental contributors to disease, especially during pregnancy when oxidative stress naturally rises. It underscores the critical role of maternal nutrition in shaping the fetal immune system, arguing that deficiencies or imbalances during pregnancy can lead to lifelong health issues.
