Pregnant mother's fatty diet "may alter baby's brain"

  > They argue this could explain why the children of obese parents are more likely to become grossly overweight. Ugh, wait, what? No evidence presented for "eating fatty food makes you fat". No evidence presented for the diet of parents of obese children. Hint: it most likely wasn't rich in fat, but rich in sugars. > These mouse pups were more likely to become overweight and develop type 2 diabetes than the pups of mothers given a normal diet. So correlation? The mouse's own diet has no effect, only what the parents ate is relevant? Gah.. I'm just going to flag this nonsense.

    I'm interested in your objections.

    nkuttler, don't be a nutter. Stop denying science.

      That's cute. I didn't see any science, just badly written infotainment.
