It is often said that the food we eat as a child will become our favorite foods as adults. Studies show that women are capable of transmitting a favorite choice of food to the children, both still in the womb or are nursing. These conditions make children tend to choose certain foods.

Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia to study one of the best in 2000. They surveyed 46 pregnant women, and divided into three different groups. One group consumed carrot juice during the last trimester of their pregnancy and water during lactation; other group drank water during the final trimester and carrot juice during lactation, whereas the last group drank only water during this period.

After their children were born, the researchers gave two ingredients of cereal, one made with carrot juice, and one with water. Researchers monitor and measure how much is consumed infant cereals, and record their reactions. Babies who "enjoy" carrot juice during feeding or while still in the womb eating more cereal with some carrots, than babies who did not feel the carrot juice while still in the womb or breast. When the researchers watched the expressions of babies, babies who consume only water during the progress of research showing a negative expression when fed carrots cereal taste. While babies who are familiar sense of carrots will display the usual expression.

Other studies have found support this conclusion; found that the taste was able to be distributed through the placenta to the fetus or through breast milk to babies. For example, a study conducted in France indicate that children of mothers who drink while breastfeeding fennel taste will not be anti fennel flavored than other children. Similar studies also showed that sense of aromatics like onion, garlic, and vanilla, which is found in breast milk can provide to the child's tendency to like the taste of it. What mothers eat can flow into her breast milk for a maximum of 8 hours, so if these foods are consumed on a regular basis certainly also greater influence.

Well, now you do not have to wonder why Little also like, for example, all types of fish like you. Thus, a mother is able to form their children to like healthy foods and keep them away from junk food. At least, in theory. A study showed that babies who eat solids and breastfeeding will not eat green beans until his mother began to introduce these foods in his diet. This shows that a mother can help to introduce foods that "bad" into her diet. Naturally this also justifies the term "eating for two" when you're eating while pregnant increases.

However, mothers can also cause health problems. Studies in animals showed that rats who ate more foods high in sugar, salt, and fat, for pregnant and breastfeeding. Rat Children will also sharpen the tendency of fatty foods, salt and sugar.

Food consumed pregnant and lactating mothers can also cause variations of the preferred food of children. This is probably not going to determine his diet all his life, but if you want to have children who are not hard to eat vegetables, now you know how.
