妊娠している women who eat 半導体素子s 増加する their 危険 of having underweight babies

• Higher levels of the 化学製品 acrylamide was associated with low birth 負わせる
• 減ずるd birth 負わせる is a 危険 factor for 非常に／多数の health problems later in life 含むing heart 病気 and 糖尿病

Eating 半導体素子s during pregnancy can lead to 重要な health problems for new born babies, 研究 示唆するs.

消費するing a 広大な 量 of 半導体素子s, crisps and 薄焼きパン／素焼陶器s during pregnancy can lead to babies having a lower than 普通の／平均（する） birth 負わせる, the 熟考する／考慮する 設立する.

Mothers-to-be who have a high intake of acrylamide - which is 設立する in 一般的に 消費するd foods and coffee - are also more likely to have a baby which has a smaller 長，率いる circumference.

Eating 半導体素子s during pregnancy may have a 消極的な 影響 on the health of the resulting child

The size of a child’s 長，率いる has been associated with 延期するd neurodevelopment while lower birth 負わせるs have been associated with 逆の health 影響s in 早期に life and as children grow up.

Babies born to mothers with a high dietary intake of acrylamide were 設立する to be up to a third of a 続けざまに猛撃する (132 grams) はしけ than babies born to mothers who had a low intake, 研究員s said.

The mean birth 負わせる の中で children who were exposed to the highest levels of acrylamide compared with children in the lowest was around 100 grams, the authors said.

The 影響 原因（となる）d by acrylamide is 類似の to lower birth 負わせるs 原因（となる）d by maternal smoking, they said. The 幼児’s 長，率いるs were also up to 0.33 centimetres smaller, they 設立する.

Acrylamide is a 化学製品 which is produced 自然に in food as a result of cooking starch-rich food at 最高気温s, such as when baking or frying. It has been 設立する in a wide 範囲 of home-cooked and 過程d foods 含むing crisps, 半導体素子s, bread and coffee.

'The 可能性のある public-health 関わりあい／含蓄s of our findings are 相当な,' the authors said.

'増加するs in 長，率いる circumference are an important 指示，表示する物 of continued brain growth, and 減ずるd birth 長，率いる circumference has been associated with 延期するd neurodevelopment.

'減ずるd birth 負わせる is a 危険 factor for 非常に／多数の 逆の health 影響s 早期に in life, and has been associated with 多重の 逆の 結果s later in life such as 減ずるd stature, 増加するd incidence of cardiovascular 病気, type 2 糖尿病 mellitus, and osteoporosis.'

They 追加するd: 'These findings 供給する 証拠 supporting the need for changes in food 生産／産物 and for 供給するing （疑いを）晴らす public health advice to 妊娠している women to 減ずる their dietary intake of foods that may 含む／封じ込める high 集中s of acrylamide.'

研究員s 診察するd the diets of 1,100 妊娠している women between 2006 and 2010 in Denmark, England, Greece, Norway and Spain.

They used food-frequency questionnaires on mothers and also 診察するd each baby’s cord 血 - which 供給するs （警察などへの）密告，告訴（状） about levels of acrylamide （危険などに）さらす during the last months of pregnancy.

The 熟考する／考慮する, led by the Centre for 研究 in 環境の Epidemiology (CREAL) in Barcelona, 伴う／関わるd 20 研究 centres across Europe 含むing the Born in Bradford 研究 programme.

The programme is one of the country’s biggest 研究 事業／計画（する）s, 熟考する／考慮するing the health of around 14,000 children born in the city.

Dr Laura Hardie, reader in molecular epidemiology at the University of 物陰／風下d, said: '186 women from the Born in Bradford 熟考する／考慮する took part in this major European 研究 programme. We 設立する that their babies had the highest levels of acrylamide out of all of the five centres, almost twice the level of the Danish babies.

'When we 調査／捜査するd their diet it was （疑いを）晴らす that the largest source of dietary acrylamide is from 半導体素子s.'

CREAL 研究員 and lead author Dr Marie Pedersen, 追加するd: 'The public-health 関わりあい／含蓄s of the findings in this 熟考する／考慮する are 相当な.

'減ずるd birth 負わせる, in particular low birth 負わせる, has been shown to be 関係のある to 非常に／多数の 逆の health 影響s 早期に or later in life such as cardiovascular 病気 and 糖尿病. その上に, 減ずるd birth 長，率いる circumference has been associated with 延期するd neurodevelopment.'

Professor John Wright from the Bradford 学校／設ける for Health 研究, who is 主要な the Born in Bradford 熟考する／考慮する, 追加するd: 'This is important new 研究 which 論証するs a （疑いを）晴らす link between acrylamide and the health of newborn babies.

'The 影響 of acrylamide is 類似の with the 井戸／弁護士席-known 逆の 影響 of smoking on birth 負わせる. Our advice for 妊娠している mothers is to follow a balanced diet and go 平易な on the crisps and 半導体素子s.

'The r esults 供給する その上の 証拠 about the 可能性のある 有毒性 of acrylamide and should also encourage food 製造業者s to start 調査するing methods to 減ずる acrylamide in their 製品s.'
