Pregnant women who ate the kind of fast food or fast food, causing a risk of breast cancer in their female babies, These findings emphasize the importance of the women apply healthy eating patterns during pregnancy.
To see the effect of diet on the offspring of women, in his study researchers from the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center of Georgetown in Washington to do experiments on one group of pregnant rats.
Meanwhile another group of pregnant rats given a diet with the same number of calories but with more fat content. Furthermore, the researchers examined the rates of breast cancer risk in children and grandchildren of the two groups of female mice.
The results found that although the second and third generations are not eating fatty foods, 60 percent of their risk of breast tumors larger than the generation of mice with normal diet.
Furthermore, the research team to find out how fast food can affect the next generation of health during pregnancy. The study shows, the increased risk in the offspring was triggered by a process known as epigenetic. In this process, the conditions in the womb causes little change in the way genes work.
This change can be derived from the maternal lineage to girls, or from father to son, many times. In such cases, small changes can increase the number of seeds that potentially cause cancer in the breast.
This is the theory we put forward, but we still do not know how the process of change, "said Sonia de Assis who led the study. Even so, Assis believes there is a clear message to protect human health.
"Implilkasi from this study suggest that expectant mothers should eat a balanced diet because these diets affect the health of their daughters and granddaughters in the future," he said.
