Pregnancy diet makes huge difference

Researchers are warning pregnant women that a penchant for junk food may be condemning their children to crave the same diet. The researchers arrived at this conclusion when they discovered that pregnant rats who were fed a diet of biscuits, chips and sweets, had young who preferred to eat unhealthy food. Research has already shown that diet in early life can literally shape people's future, laying down the foundations for obesity and heart disease; dieticians too have stressed the importance of a balanced diet for mothers-to-be. This latest research however suggests that eating too much of the wrong food while carrying a child could be potentially harmful.
