Ososayensi bathole ukuthi abesifazane abakhulelwe abadla izithelo eziningi, imifino nezinhlamvu, futhi baphuze amanzi anele, mancane amathuba okuthi balahlekelwe yingane ngenxa yokuzalwa ngaphambi kwesikhathi.
Ucwaningo oluhlanganyelwe lwesi-Swedish-Norwegian-Icelandic luthole ukudla okunjalo kwezithelo nemifino-okusanhlamvu (ososayensi bakubiza ngokuthi “kunengqondo”) njengokwandisa kakhulu ukuphepha kwengane. Kuphinde kwatholakala ukuthi okunye ukudla (okuthiwa “ngokwesiko”) okuqukethe amazambane abilisiwe nemifino kanye nobisi olunamafutha aphansi (uhlobo “lokudla kokudla”) nakho kuqinisekisa ukuphepha kombungu kanye nempilo kamama. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, kuye kwaqinisekiswa ngezibalo ukuthi ukudla "okuseNtshonalanga" okuqukethe usawoti, ushukela, isinkwa, amaswidi, inyama egayiwe kanye nokudla okufanayo okungenampilo kuyingozi kumntwana futhi kwezinye izimo kuholela ekulahlekelweni kwayo.
Ucwaningo lwenziwa ngesisekelo sedatha etholwe kwabesifazane abanempilo eyizinkulungwane ezingu-66, babe ne-3505 (5.3%) yokuzalwa ngaphambi kwesikhathi (ukuphuphuma kwezisu), okwaholela ekufeni kwengane. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, odokotela bathi ukukhulelwa kwesisu kuyimbangela yokufa komntwana kuma-75% wamacala (okungukuthi, ngokusobala inkinga enkulu yokubeletha). Isisekelo sokuhlola imikhuba yokudla yomama kwakuyidayari yokudla enemininingwane abesifazane ababeyigcina ezinyangeni zokuqala ezingu-4-5 zokukhulelwa.
Uhlu oluphelele lokudla olufanele omama abakhulelwe, futhi okungcono kakhulu ukunamathela kusukela ezinyangeni zokuqala, kufaka phakathi: imifino, izithelo, amafutha emifino, amanzi njengesiphuzo esiyinhloko, okusanhlamvu okusanhlamvu nesinkwa, esicebile i-fiber. Ososayensi bathole ukuthi kubaluleke kakhulu ukulandela ukudla okufanele kwabesifazane abazobeletha izibulo. Kulesi sigaba somama abakhulelwe lapho ukudla kwe-vegan, futhi kancane, ukudla "okudla" okunamazambane abilisiwe, inhlanzi nemifino, kubangela ukwehla okukhulu kwengozi yokukhulelwa kwesisu, kanye nokuzalwa kungazelelwe.
Ababhali balolu cwaningo baphinde bagcizelele embikweni wabo ukuthi ekudleni komama abakhulelwe, ukudla okudlayo owesifazane kubaluleke kakhulu kunalokhu akulahlile ngokuphelele. Okusho ukuthi, akufanele ukhathazeke kakhulu uma ungakwazi ukuzibamba futhi udle izinto ezimbi ezivela ekudleni - kodwa ukudla okunempilo kufanele kudliwe njalo, nsuku zonke, ngaphandle kokuncisha umzimba imisoco oyidingayo.
Lolu cwaningo lwafakazela ukuphumelela kokudla "indlela yakudala" - okungukuthi, ukufaneleka kwe "Diet number 2", odokotela manje abavame ukuyincoma kwabesifazane abakhulelwe. Kodwa futhi yasungula inani elikhulu nakakhulu lokudla “okusha” okuqukethe amanani abalulekile ezithelo ezintsha, imifino, nokusanhlamvu (okungukuthi, ukudla kwe-vegan, ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso).
USolwazi Lucilla Poston weKing’s College London ephawula ngemiphumela yeNordic Science Alliance, wathi lokhu kusekude nocwaningo lokuqala olugqamisa ukubaluleka kokudliwa kwezithelo nemifino komama abakhulelwe, wabe esenxusa odokotela emhlabeni wonke ukuthi “balethe lo myalezo kubantu. abesifazane abakhulelwe emhlabeni wonke ukuze badle ukudla okunempilo.”
