Birth
Childbirth, also known as labour and delivery, is the completion of pregnancy where one or more babies exits the internal environment of the mother via vaginal delivery or caesarean section.
Researchers compared 95 families following vegan, vegetarian or omnivorous diets, where children had been on the diet since birth. Children across all groups had similar growth and bone health. Vegan families showed the best cholesterol and cardiovascular health indices, but had lower iodine levels.
