OverviewAI-generated summary

Mara Whiteside's research investigates the long-term impacts of infant feeding practices and maternal health on child development. Her recent publications examine the comparative outcomes of soy protein-based infant formula versus cow milk-based formula and breastfeeding from birth through adolescence. Whiteside also studies the associations between prenatal factors, such as polyphenol intake and physical activity, and cognitive development and executive function in offspring through school age. Her work explores maternal dietary quality during pregnancy and its relationship with adaptive behavior and cognitive performance in children up to 24 months. Whiteside collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Aline Andres, Xiawei Ou, Charles M. Glasier, and Jayne Bellando.
