Abstract in brief

  • Choline has been recognized as an essential nutrient since 1998, but most people, including pregnant and lactating women, don't consume enough of it, which might lead to health issues.
  • The recommended intake levels for choline are based on studies involving liver damage from deficiency and standard reference weights, yet current dietary habits often fall short of these guidelines.
  • Recent research highlights that genetic differences can influence how much choline someone needs, especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding, emphasizing its importance for health and development.

@tandfmedicine I am concerned about #choline (mostly derived via animal sourced foods). Our research shows that #vegetarians consume much ⬇️ amounts. Whether there are life-specific reqs is still TBD but this (in my mind) is of great concern for pregnant women! https://t.co/QFeAMJA4vu
