Highlights
•
Choline is the 'forgotten nutrient' — 90% of pregnant women are deficient
Patrick: choline is essential for fetal brain development, yet 90%+ of pregnant women don't meet the adequate intake. Choline deficiency during pregnancy impairs memory and attention in offspring — effects that persist into adulthood.•
Creatine does not harm the liver — the myth stems from a misunderstanding of creatinine
Patrick: the belief that creatine damages the liver or kidneys is based on confusion between creatinine (a harmless breakdown product of creatine that is filtered by kidneys) and markers of organ damage. No clinical evidence supports liver harm from creatine supplementation.Was this useful?
