– Jimmy Moore’s 2007 blog interview with Nina Planck
Thank you very much, Mr. Moore, for such a wonderful interview with Ms. Nina Planck. I must admit that I did not know her, and have to hurry up just to know her background. I have three questions for her, if I could ask you to relay them to her.
(1) Atherosclerosis has been found in children, as young as 3-6 months old. Could she advise me how we should better design baby formula and foods to stop the trend?
(2) We used to believe congenital malformations were genetic disorders. But we know now that they are strongly related to hyperglycemia or diabetes mellitus (see my book, Carbohydrates Can Kill and my blog.) To prepare a conception and gestation for a healthy baby, I, based on my literature review, tend to believe keeping the maternal blood glucose within normal range at all time is crucial. What is her suggestion?
(3) In related to both (1) and (2), I, again based my literature review, believe that dietary factors strongly linked to the development of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus. We have seen Type 1 DM happened in babies as young as just a couple of months. Could Ms. Planck offer any dietary suggestion(s) for preventing Type 1 DM and even Type 2 from happening in children?
As a physician, I have always wanted to learn from someone who is knowledgeable in pediatric nutrition. I hope that I have found one.

THANKS Dr. Su! Nina is on maternity leave right now expecting any day now. You can contact her through her web site links I provided in the show notes and she will contact you back when she returns. She is one of the best!
great post! eating during pregnancy is very important
Interesting and informative data on food during pregnancy. Well done!
Eatting for two can be taken the wrong way, but you should take that as making sure you get the nutrients you need for two. I’ve always been a beliver in a good muti-vitamin on a daily basis.
