ClinConnect Summary

The OrgDiet Project is a research study that wants to find out how eating organic foods during pregnancy affects the health of both mothers and their babies. In this study, pregnant women will be divided into two groups: one group will eat organic foods, while the other group will eat conventional foods. Both groups will also follow healthy eating guidelines from Norway. The study will include about 100 participants, and researchers will keep track of the mothers and their children until the children are two years old.

To join this study, women must be pregnant in their first trimester and can either be having their first baby or already have children. However, women who regularly eat organic foods, take certain medications, have chronic health issues, or suffer from food allergies won’t be able to participate. If you join, you can expect support in following the dietary guidelines and contributing to important research that could help future mothers and babies.
