I came across this article in Google Reader a few weeks ago, but it looks like it’s actually from January 2004. It’s probably not going to blow your mind, but here goes: Maternal diet linked to offspring’s longevity.

Kar_kar sent me a link to a raw milk article at The Ethicurean a few days ago. First, the Ethicurean is a new site for me and has lots of interesting reading, ranging from farm bills to the King Corn movie to grass-fed standards and other such goodness. Having spent a few days [...]
