Women can give their children a lifelong taste for ?healthy but horrible? foods such as broccoli and brussels sprouts simply by eating them during pregnancy or while breast-feeding, researchers have found.
The discovery could help avoid the battles over food and diet which dominate the dinner tables of many young families as parents try to persuade children to ?eat your veg?.
It suggests that mothers should adopt a stealth approach, indoctrinating their offspring?s taste buds with a liking for cabbage, broccoli and other healthy vegetables even before they are born, say the researchers.
