Ultra-processed food: A Hidden Threat to Fertility and Embryo Growth? In today's episode we're diving into groundbreaking research on how ultra-processed food (UPF) impacts couples trying to conceive. Drawing from a major prospective cohort study, we explore the surprising discovery that a man's diet may be just as critical for fertility as a woman's. We discuss findings linking higher paternal UPF intake to reduced fertility and maternal consumption to slower embryonic growth and smaller yolk sac volume early in pregnancy. Join us as we unpack these sex-specific findings and what they mean for the future of preconception care.

Kids and Kidney Cancer: Implication for Prenatal Pesticide Exposure - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog (Beyond Pesticides, November 10, 2022) A meta-analysis by the University Alberta Hospital, Edmonton, AB, Canada, adds to the plethora of research linking prenatal (before birth/during pregnancy) pesticide exposure to carcinogenic (cancer) tumor development. The analysis, published in Human & Experimental Toxicology, finds parental exposure to pesticides during the preconception (before pregnancy) or pregnancy period increases the risk of Wilms’ tumor (a type of kidney cancer) occurrence among children. Already, studies find low levels of pesticide exposure during pregnancy or childhood cause adverse health effects, from metabolic disorders to mental and physical disabilities. Although medical advancements in disease survival are more prominent nowadays, childhood cancer remains the leading cause of death from disease among children. Furthermore, childhood cancer survivors can suffer from chronic or long-term health complications that may be life-threatening. Children are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of pesticide exposure as their developing bodies cannot adequately combat exposure effects. Moreover, a mother’s pesticide exposure can have a stronger association with cancer among a child than childhood exposure, and a newborn can still encounter pesticides. Therefore, it is essential to understand how pesticides impact the health and well-being of individuals during critical developmental periods, especially for latent diseases (e.g., cancers). The researchers performed a systematic review and meta-analysis on case-control studies […]
