Interesting article:

"Prenatal and Postnatal Flavor Learning by Human Infants" by Mennella, Jagnow, and Beauchamp in
Pediatrics 2001;107(6)
URL:  http://www.pediatrics.org/cgi/content/full/107/6/e88

Infants recieve flavors from mom's food in utero & in breastmilk and it sets their tastes for culturally-based diets.

(My comment:  Unfortunately, many infants currently are exposed to a primarily junk-food type diet this way.)
