On the bottom of page 64 and top of page 65 of Papalia & Olds' Human
Development text, it is indicated that "..... and women who took birth
control pills until shortly before pregnancy need extra nutrients (J.E. Brown,
1983)."
One of my students asked why and I couldn't answer. I can't get my hands on
the original source (Nutrition for your pregnancy. Minneapolis:
University of Minnesota Press) and was wondering if any of you know the
relationship between birth control pills and nutrition. Do birth control pills
deplete the body of nutrients, which ones, etc.?
Thanks in advance to those who answer.
