Your Dad's Diet
A study from McGill University in Canada seems to show that what a prospective father eats prior to conception is just as important as what an expectant mother consumes. The study was conducted on mice and focused on the vitamin B9, or folate. “We were very surprised to see that there was an almost 30 percent

of folates were insufficient,” explained one of the researchers involved in the study: http://www.mcgill.ca/newsroom/channels/news/you-are-what-your-father-eats-231995
