Aaaaw, look at that. It thinks it can science. LOL, Did you read the study the article is writing about?  Here is a quote from it:   The nutritional environment to which an individual is exposed during the perinatal period plays a crucial role in determining his or her future metabolic health outcomes. Studies in rodent models have demonstrated that excess maternal intake of high-fat and/or high-sugar “junk foods” during pregnancy and lactation can alter the development of the central reward pathway, particularly the opioid and dopamine systems, and program an increased preference for junk foods in the offspring.   Is The FASEB JOURNAL ok to use? I mean I would not wish to quote some stranger on the internet...or would I? I did come across this most awesome quote the other day, completely random, and the guy was so intense that obviously it must be true. Here it is:   Preservatives do not make you fat. Unhealthy food does not make you fat. Fat does not make you fat. Chemicals does not make you fat.  Here is another article and study submitted to and published by the same FACEB. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2015-08/foas-wti080515.php A quote:   New research in The FASEB Journal suggests that chronic inflammation from diets deficient in nutrients contribute to weight regardless of the intake of macronutrients  But it is great to see you know so much about science and referencing. Would you like another round of cheeseburgers in your face? well it is 19 hours in an the article is still up...... And feel free to let me know which media I can use, obviously you are a font of all information.
