Why are you spamming the Family Life section with all of these articles? Scientists find all sorts of links between X and Y that are usually spurious or heavily oversold.
 
Experts said the study had merit, but brain changes in humans were unproven.
Mice aren’t humans, not even close. Also, “fatty diet?” Mouse chow diets rarely resemble anything found in the real human world.

Fat by itself does not make one fat. Fat combined with lots of carbs (i.e. French fries, potato chips, any kind of fried snack like Fritos, cookies, doughnuts, etc.) will make one fat.

Yes. Feels like mom guilt.

You do the best you can with what you have. When I was pregnant with my second baby, French fries were one of the few foods I could manage to keep down. So that’s what I did. Kid is well-adjusted, bright, and probably my most adventurous eater…

Luckily at this point I’m mostly wise enough to know that my impact is less than I can take credit for.
