Mothers get all the attention in regards to producing healthy babies. Historically, when things go right or wrong, mothers have been held responsible. But a study led by McGill researcher Sarah Kimmins suggests that the father's diet before conception may play an equally important role in the health of their offspring. The research focused on vitamin B9, also called folate, which is found in a range of green leafy vegetables, cereals, fruit and meats. We’ve all heard that pregnant women need to supplement with folate, but . now research from the Kimmins group shows that the father's folate levels at the time of conception may be just as important to the development and health of the child. Sorry guys, looks like you need to do your part too.
