“Scientists have discovered that the quality of parents’ and children’s diets is related. A study that analyzed 698 parent-child duos was produced to understand more fully the causes of obesity and associated problems such as stroke, heart disease, and diabetes. IANS reports that the participating children were six- to 12-years-old and resided in King County, Washington and San Diego County, California. The research took place from 2007 to 2009, and the data used for the investigation was produced by a Neighborhood Impact on Kids study. The findings were published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The team reviewed up to three days of eating information from each parent and child with at least one weekend day and one weekday included. Ninety-eight percent of the subjects reported three days of food intake data.”(more)
