Study participants with the highest intake of choline, an essential nutrient found primarily in eggs, meat, fish, dairy, and some legumes and cruciferous vegetables, had significantly lower odds of having clinically elevated inflammation levels compared with those with the lowest intakes, the analysis found.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all have these signaling proteins that can be inflammatory in our blood, but when they go outside their normal range, we get worried,\u201d Larson said in a press release. \u201cInflammation can be caused by anything from viral infection to chronic disease, such as obesity or cardiovascular disease, and even things like psychological stress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the study, inflammation declined most steeply when intake moved from very low levels to moderate and higher levels. \u201cWe had fewer data points at the lower or higher intake ends, so we need to do more research about a potential threshold relationship,\u201d Larson said.<\/p>\n<p>She added that the current recommendation for daily choline intake during pregnancy is 450 mg, but there\u2019s some evidence that may not be adequate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere really isn\u2019t enough work on these under-appreciated nutrients that might be predictive of health for mother and child,\u201d Larson observed. \u201cIt\u2019s important because mom\u2019s health is very predictive of baby\u2019s future health.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Designed by Cornell University nutritional sciences doctoral student Elisabeth Larson, the study analyzed data from 1,300 pregnant women&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":416037,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[65296,196303,196304,196302,163,85,46,196305,196307,196306],"class_list":["post-416036","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-health","tag-bamboo","tag-choline-thawing-meat-and-poultry","tag-food-technology-magazine","tag-frank-busta","tag-health","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-march-april-2026","tag-no-2","tag-volume-80"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416036","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=416036"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416036\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/416037"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=416036"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=416036"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=416036"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
