Australian researchers from the University of Queensland have raised concerns over the influence a spouse’s diet has on a woman’s food choices during pregnancy, as the expecting mother’s diet and health will also impact the health of their future children.
“Better education and support for partners could help improve the eating habits of expectant mums, which in turn will make the foetus healthier and reduce the future risk of disease,” the principal investigator of the research team, Prof. Vicki Clifton, said.
