Increased height has always been a sign of health and Americans have always been taller than Europeans?until now. Now they’re becoming taller than we are and researchers want to know why. John Komlos says, “There is much concern about the obesity epidemic in the U.S. because of health consequences, but the fact that the physical stature of Americans has been lagging well behind European levels has all but eluded comment.

Scientists think that if women take choline during their pregnancies, they?ll “super-charge” their children’s brains for life. If they eat chocolate daily, they’ll have a happier baby. And if they have a toddler who’s a finicky eater, it’s because of the way he was fed as an infant.

Babies born to pregnant rats that were given the supplement were known to be faster learners with better memories. They also had better memories when they got old. Choline is found in egg yolks, liver and other meats that, according to researcher Scott Swartzwelder, are “exactly the kind of things people were told not to eat” due to worries about high cholesterol.
