"'A previous study showed that babies are born with a higher amount of amount of body fat if their mothers were significantly overweight during pregnancy, and we wanted to see whether that relationship persists into childhood,' comments Dr Gale...No, they will not.
...Although the extent to which this is attributable to genetic factors, the influence of the mother's lifestyle on that of her child, or to physical changes to the child's fat mass brought on by their mother's 'adiposity' during pregnancy, is not yet known.
...The results of this research show that a mother's over-nutrition before and during pregnancy may have a persisting and long-term influence on her child's tendency to fatness."
Not while there is still one dollar left to be stolen in the name of obesity research.
