Medical News Summary (summary of medical news story as reported by Medical News Today): Studies show that mothers can greatly influence their daughter’s dietary habits later in life. Young girls very quickly pick up on subtle dietary habits and often copy them. Obese mothers are more likely to have obese daughters than sons as girls mimic their mothers more closely.
