Environmental Toxins And Fetal Development

It has been scientifically proven that the human fetus is relatively susceptible to impact from adverse conditions within the mother’s environment. Sub-par fetal conditions often cause various degrees of developmental delays, both physical and mental, for the growing baby.

Famous quotes containing the word development:

    “Such condition of suspended judgment indeed, in its more genial development and under felicitous culture, is but the expectation, the receptivity, of the faithful scholar, determined not to foreclose what is still a question—the “philosophic temper,” in short, for which a survival of query will be still the salt of truth, even in the most absolutely ascertained knowledge.”
    —Walter Pater (1839–1894)
