You (and your baby) are what you eat
Nov 18, 2008
New research from Rockefeller University found that a high fatty diet during pregnancy could cause the baby to become obese later in life. The latest study suggests exposure to fats known as triglycerides from the mother's diet can cause the fetus to have more brain cells specialized to produce appetite-stimulating hormones, and that the effect then lasts throughout the offspring's life.
Of course, that doesn't mean you should cut out fat altogether during pregnancy; it is a good part of a balanced diet. So go ahead and eat that cupcake... just don't eat a dozen of them in one sitting.No Comments
