TL;DR: The authors found no meaningful differences in the effect of most of the nutrients between intestinal and diffuse cancers, consistent with previously reported results about the protective effect of fruit and vegetables and the increased risk associated with foods that are important sources of nitrites and preformed nitrosamines.

TL;DR: Younger gestational age, smaller size for gestational Age, and greater infant weight gain were across the full ranges associated with childhood lung function and explain the risk of childhood asthma to a substantial extent.

TL;DR: There were substantial deficiencies in intakes of cereals, legumes and vegetables in all women, suggesting the need for educational interventions and monitoring during prenatal care to improve the quality of dietary habits during pregnancy.

TL;DR: Reduced whole blood DNA methylation at 21 CpGs was significantly associated with childhood allergy, providing novel insights into the shared molecular mechanisms underlying asthma, rhinitis and eczema.
