Wellcome Trust - Mothers who eat junk food during pregnancy and breastfeeding may be putting their children at risk of overeating and developing obesity, according to a study funded by the Wellcome Trust and carried out at the Royal Veterinary College, London.威康信托-母亲吃垃圾食品在怀孕和哺乳期间，可把子女风险o vereating和发展中国家肥胖症，根据一项最新研究经费，由威康信托，并进行在皇家兽医学院，伦敦。 The research suggests that pregnant and breastfeeding women should not indulge in fatty, sugary and salty foods under the misguided assumption that they are ‘eating for two’.研究表明，孕妇和哺乳期妇女不应沉迷于脂肪，糖和盐的食品，根据错误的假设，他们是'吃' 。

The study, published in the British Journal of Nutrition , found that rats fed a diet of processed junk food such as doughnuts, muffins, biscuits, crisps and sweets during pregnancy and lactation gave birth to offspring that overate and had a preference for junk foods rich in fat, sugar and salt when compared to the offspring of rats given regular feed.这项研究刊登在英国杂志的营养 ，发现老鼠的饮食加工垃圾食品如圈，松饼，饼干，薯片和糖果怀孕和哺乳期间生下后代，并超了偏好垃圾食品丰富脂肪，糖和盐相比，子代鼠经常给予饲料。 The research team behind the study believe the findings have implications for humans.研究团队背后相信研究结果，也影响人类。

Obesity is a major cause of disease, associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and cancer.肥胖是一个重要原因疾病，相关的风险增加2型糖尿病，心脏病和癌症。 According to a report by the World Health Organization, around 1.6 billion humans were classified as overweight worldwide in 2005 and 400 million were obese.据报道，由世界卫生组织，约1.6亿人被列为超重， 2005年全球400万人肥胖。 Obesity affects populations increasingly earlier in life with over 20 million children under the age of five being classed as overweight.肥胖人群的影响越来越早在生活超过20万儿童五岁被列为体重过重。

“Our study has shown that eating large quantities of junk food when pregnant and breastfeeding could impair the normal control of appetite and promote an exacerbated taste for junk food in offspring,” says lead author Dr Stéphanie Bayol. "我们的研究显示，吃大量垃圾食品时，孕妇和哺乳期可能妨碍正常控制食欲及促进加剧味觉垃圾食品后代说： "作者何stéphanie贝约尔。 “This could send offspring on the road to obesity and make the task of teaching healthy eating habits in children even more challenging.” "这可派子孙对道路和肥胖作任务教学健康饮食习惯的儿童更有挑战性" 。

Controlling appetite is complex, involving hormones that signal to the brain to regulate energy balance, hunger and satiety (feeling of fullness).控制食欲十分复杂，涉及到激素信号向大脑调节能量平衡，饥饿和饱（感觉丰满） 。 However, feeding is not only a matter of regulating energy balance; it is also a pleasurable experience that involves ‘reward centers’ in the brain, such that the combination of pleasure with feeding may occasionally override the normal regulation of satiety.但是，喂养不仅是一个调节能量平衡;它也是一个愉快的经验，涉及的奖励中心'在大脑中，这样的结合游乐与喂养有时凌驾于正常调节饱。 Previous research has shown that junk foods rich in fat and sugar inhibit the satiety signals while promoting hunger and stimulating the reward centers.先前的研究已经表明，垃圾食品富含脂肪和糖抑制饱信号，同时促进和饥饿刺激奖赏中心。

“Exposure to a maternal junk-food diet during their fetal and suckling life might help explain why some individuals might find it harder than others to control their junk-food intake even when given access to healthier foods later in life,” explains Dr Bayol. "暴露了产妇垃圾食品饮食中的胎儿和哺乳的生命可能有助于解释为什么有些人可能较难比别人来控制垃圾食物摄入量时，即使获得健康食品后，在生活中， "博士解释贝约尔。

Professor Neil Stickland, a co-author on the study, who heads the research group at the Royal Veterinary College, believes that mothers need to be made aware of the risks associated with a poor diet.尼尔教授stickland ，合著者对研究负责人的研究小组在英国皇家兽医学院，认为母亲需要必须意识到风险与不良的饮食习惯。

“The Government is trying to encourage healthier eating habits in schools, but our research shows that healthy eating habits need to start during the fetal and suckling life of an individual,” says Professor Stickland. "政府正设法鼓励健康的饮食习惯，在学校，但我们的研究显示，健康的饮食习惯需要开始在胎儿和哺乳生活个人说： "教授stickland 。 “Giving children better school dinners is very good, but more needs to be done to raise awareness in pregnant and breastfeeding women as well. "让孩子更好地学晚餐是非常好的，但需要做更多工作，以提高认识，在孕妇和哺乳期妇女等。 Future mothers should be aware that pregnancy and lactation are not the time to over-indulge on fatty, sugary treats on the misguided assumption that they are ‘eating for two’.”未来的母亲应该知道怀孕和哺乳期都没有时间过于沉迷于脂肪，含糖对待就误认为他们是'吃' 。 "
