When researchers fed a high-fat diet to pregnant primates they found that 100% of the unborn experienced more oxadative stress to the liver and developed fatty livers. This held true whether the mother was lean or obese. It would appear that the developing fetus is highly sensitive to excess maternal dietary fat.
PositiveTip: Consuming a diet low in fat and high plant-based foods increases nutrient density and helps support good fetal nutrition.
