David Horner

David Horner is a physician and postdoctoral researcher associated with the Copenhagen Prospective Studies on Asthma in Childhood (Copsac) at Herlev and Gentofte Hospital. His recent research, in collaboration with the University of Copenhagen, explores the link between Western dietary habits during pregnancy and the increased risk of ADHD and autism in children, based on data from over 60,000 mother-child pairs. Horner emphasizes the need for more focused dietary guidelines for pregnant women, as his findings suggest that nutrition plays a critical role in fetal brain development, particularly in the early trimesters of pregnancy.
