To design interventions targeted at improving childrens eating behaviors, we must first understand the biological and environmental factors that contribute to food choice. Exposure to flavors in the mothers diet during pregnancy and in breastmilk plays a role in infants food acceptance during the weaning period, but research has not yet investigated if these effects persist into early childhood. If early exposure plays a strong role in childrens food acceptance through the preschool years, there is potential that it can be used to increase intake of nutritionally beneficial foods, like vegetables. A retrospective questionnaire was designed to assess mothers intake of 9 herbs and spices during pregnancy and lactation. Forty-two mothers and their preschool aged children attended two laboratory visits where mothers filled out the questionnaire and children rated their acceptance/liking of carrots prepared with seasoning blends of the herbs and spices (cinnamon-nutmeg-ginger, garlic-black pepper-oregano, cardamom-cumin-allspice). Childrens intake of the seasoned carrots was also measured during two multi-item ad libitum test meals. Mothers were able to report an answer (i.e. yes or no) when asked to recall their herb and spice intake more often than they selected the I dont know option for all but one spice. When grouped by individual spice blends, no correlation was found between maternally reported intake of the herbs and spices and childrens liking or intake of the seasoned carrots (P u003e 0.05). However, when a combined score was calculated for total maternal herb and spice intake, there was a significant correlation with childrens overall liking of the seasoned carrots (P = 0.03) but not with intake of the carrots (P u003e 0.05). Overall, we did not find evidence that maternal intake of herbs and spices during pregnancy and breastfeeding influences childrens acceptance of these specific flavors in early childhood. However, the relationship between total herb and spice intake and childrens seasoned carrot liking may indicate that maternal dietary variety is a better indicator of childrens food acceptance in the preschool years. Once validated, retrospective dietary recall of herb and spice intake may be a fast and easy tool to assess the influence of maternal diet during pregnancy and breastfeeding on childrens food preference in future research.
