Maternal Fish Consumption In Excess Of Three Times A Week During Pregnancy Tied To Overweight, Obesity In Offspring.

“Science Now” reported that “newborns whose mothers ate fish more than three times a week during pregnancy grew faster in their first two years of life and were more likely to be overweight or obese at four and six years old than were babies born to mothers who ate little to no fish during pregnancy,” research suggests. In a study published online Feb. 15 in JAMA Pediatrics and “conducted across several countries, researchers” also “found that the weight-related effects of a mother’s high fish consumption was more pronounced when the offspring was female.” http://www.latimes.com/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-pregnancy-fish-obesity-20160215-story.html
