  Moms-to-be who pile on the pounds when pregnant could beexposing their unborn children to lower intelligence; schizophrenia, behavioral problems and eating disorders。女人在怀孕期间变胖可能会给她们还未出生的孩子造成智商偏低、精神分裂症、行为问题以及饮食紊乱等负面影响。

  Pregnant women have traditionally reserved the right to ‘eat for two’ but new research says gaining too much weight during pregnancy is dangerous to children’s development。在传统观念里怀孕的妇女应该要多吃以满足自己和孩子的两份营养需求,但是最新研究显示在怀孕期间增肥太多会对孩子生长发育有不良影响。

  Scientists at Canada’s McMaster University pored over a dozen studies on the subject and were startled by the results。加拿大麦克马斯特大学的科学家们通过多项研究得出了这个让人大为震惊的结论。

  The children of obese moms were found to have IQ scores five points lower; and are more likely to suffer attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and eating disorders themselves, among other conditions。胖妈妈的孩子智商比一般智商水平偏低5分,并且得多动症和饮食失调的几率都会更高。

  The Canadian researchers believe hormonal and chemical changes in the womb are responsible for the dramatic findings。加拿大科学家认为这是由母体子宫内荷尔蒙和化学环境的改变造成的。
