Eggs to improve Choline intake in pregnancy

Choline is an essential nutrient which research shows is particularly important during pregnancy. During pregnancy, choline requirements are increased as the foetus requires large amounts of choline for brain development. Most Australians do not get enough choline from their diet and choline is not readily available in supplements. Eggs are the primary food source of choline for Australians. The researchers conducted a systematic review to address the question, "is maternal choline during pregnancy associated with neurodevelopment in the offspring?"
