A group of scientists working at the University of Cambridge and the University of Chile conducted an important research on fast food, which many of us often consume. The study, conducted on mice and published in the journal Acta Physiologica, revealed a new effect of eating fast food on women. We warn our female readers; If you are pregnant or considering pregnancy, you should stop eating fast food immediately.
The research revealed that eating fast food and consuming beverages with high sugar content immediately affects women’s health. So much so that the milk production rates of mice fed with high-fat foods and high-sugar drinks dropped drastically. This resulted in the death of the baby mice. But the danger was not only that.
Consuming fast food during pregnancy has deadly consequences!
The researchers divided the mice into categories to get the most detailed results. Under this categorization, some mice were given a special diet before pregnancy, some during pregnancy, and some after birth. This special diet, which imitated fast food consumption, was enough to reveal the extent of the danger. So much so that even the formation of the placenta in the uterus of the mice that consumed fast food before and during pregnancy was different. This difference led to an increase in the number of dead offspring.
According to research, exposure to a fast food diet even for a very short time affects health negatively. Because fast food has a negative effect on almost every part of the body, especially the liver; this resulted in an unhealthy mother and an unhealthy offspring. So what should be done in this situation? Now let’s look at the comments of the experts who carried out the research.
“Pre-pregnancy education should be given”
Professor Sferruzzi-Perri, who made statements about the research, says that the only thing that needs to be done at this point is education. According to the scientist, women should be educated years before pregnancy about the effects of fast food on their bodies and offspring. Otherwise, the health of both the child and the mother may deteriorate and this may have fatal consequences.
