Mothers of 138 children who developed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) at a mean age of 5 years and 138 matched controls from the same communities completed a survey that asked them about their diet during the year before their pregnancies, said Christopher D. Jensen, Ph.D., of the University of California, Berkeley, and his associates (Cancer Causes Control 2004;15:559-70).

Diet before pregnancy, however, reflects the mother's nutritional adequacy at the start of pregnancy and her eating patterns, which generally do not change during pregnancy, Dr. Jensen said.
