That was interesting! And yes...most of what he says is true....

However...he also states that "smoking while pregnant produces fatter offspring" now, I'm not sure if he is talking about heavier during their LIFE time..but smoking actually DECREASES a fetus' weight. That being said..if he was talking about the actual weight the child is born at, not how they will grow up, he's wrong. And that makes me question some other things he said, which I do not know if it is fact or fiction either way.

Either way, I enjoyed reading it!

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses.
