A mother’s diet during pregnancy can change bits of DNA of her child and increase the risk of obesity. The baby adjusts to his mother and his environment. This shows the need for better nutritional and lifestyle support for women. Studies in animals have also shown that changes in diet can change DNA. Professor Keith Godfrey says it is surprising that it explains a quarter of the difference in the fatness of children six to nine years later. All woman who become pregnant get advice about diet, but it is not high up the agenda of health professionals as it should be. This study now explains the link between a poor start of life and later disease risk.

I think this is a very good article. It warns mothers for the risks of food to their unborn child. I did not know that! Now, it is not that I'm pregnant but it is helpfull for the future! Let's first find a husband. I think it is very good that they inform mothers about the danger of food for their unborn child.
