Mum's milk sets baby's tastes
It is the eternal problem at meal-time - how to get children to eat their greens.
Now scientists claim to have found the answer - mothers should eat the same foods themselves.
Research shows that a child's likes and dislikes can be determined by the mother's diet during pregnancy and in the time that she breast-feeds her baby.
Experts say that the flavours of the food a woman eats filter through into her breast milk, so infants become used to the tastes before being introduced to solid foods. They may also associate them with the soothing sensation of being breast-fed.
Dr Gary Beauchamp, director of the Monell Centre in Philadelphia, where the research was carried out, said that the food a mother eats while breast-feeding could give her children a life-long preference for the same foods.
Exposure to flavours
"The baby is exposed to the flavours that the mother eats," he said. "What the mother eats is accepted as safe. We believe this is the origin of the differences in food preferences. People like the food their mothers ate for the rest of their lives."
The findings may explain why some people have strong likings for foods that many others simply cannot stomach - such as curry, brussels sprouts or garlic.
It also means that women who follow balanced diets with lots of fruit and vegetables could find it easier to persuade their children to do the same.
But mothers who eat lots of sugary, fatty or salty foods are more likely to have children with similar preferences, which could lead to a host of health problems such as obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease and tooth decay.
Likes and dislikes persist
The Monell scientists followed the children in the study for five years and found that the likes and dislikes learned in the earliest months of life persisted through to school age.
The findings even showed that babies exposed in the womb and through breast milk to carrots - one of the foods most commonly rejected by children - still liked them at the age of five.
Patti Rundell, of Baby Milk Action, which campaigns to promote breast-feeding, said other research had shown breast-fed babies move more easily on to solids and she knew of one baby with a love of anchovies - a favourite of her mother.
Experts also warned that smoking or drinking while breast-feeding might also make a child more likely to enjoy cigarettes and alcohol later in life.
They found that tobacco flavours could be detected in breast milk within 30 minutes of a woman smoking a cigarette, suggesting that babies are exposed to this in the same way as food flavours.
Harmful chemicals which have been linked to cancer and may impair the development of children's brains have been found in breast milk.
Experts said the findings did not change the message that "breast is best" but urged the Government to do more to reduce women's exposure to such substances.
They include brominated flame retardants, used in television and computer casings, and musk, used in cosmetics and perfumes.
The findings are featured on Tonight with Trevor McDonald on ITV1 at 8pm tonight.
