Organic food consumption during pregnancy and hypospadias and cryptorchidism at birth: The Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study (MoBa)

The etiologies of the male urogenital anomalies hypospadias and cryptorchidism remain unclear. It has been suggested that maternal diet and environmental contaminants may affect the risk of these anomalies via placental or hormonal disturbances. The objective of the study was to examine associations between organic food consumption during pregnancy and prevalence of hypospadias and cryptorchidism at birth.
