Comparing diet quality of vegan and meat-eating pregnant women
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares the diet quality of pregnant women who eat a strict vegan diet with those who eat a diet that includes meat. It aims to see if there are nutritional differences, which could help guide advice for mothers-to-be.
