Eating carrots during pregnancy could make babies happy in the womb, according to a new study.
The nutritious root vegetable appeared to cause developing fetuses to laugh. Kale, on the other hand, appeared to have the opposite effect.
Lead author Beyza Ustun, a Ph.D. student at Durham University, said: “A number of studies have suggested babies can taste and smell in the womb, but they are based on post-birth outcomes while our study is the first to see these reactions prior to birth”.
