Consumption of sugary drinks have been linked to risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes. In fact a recent study states that the consumption of sweet drinks during pregnancy, may increase the risk of preterm delivery.
European researchers published the results of his research in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, August. The study was designed to examine whether the drinks containing artificial sweeteners associated with premature birth.
The study involved 60,761 pregnant women in Norway were asked to complete a questionnaire to determine the amount of daily consumption of carbonated and noncarbonated beverages, namely whether using natural sugars and those that use artificial sweeteners.
The result is known that both the consumption of sugary drinks tend to be elevated in women with increased body mass index (BMI) higher and requires more energy. While the consumption of sugary beverages was highest in women with a low educational background and smokers.
Pregnant women who drank more than one sugar-sweetened beverages made in a day increases the risk of premature birth by 11 percent compared to pregnant women who do not drink sugary drinks. Although sugary drinks made from natural sugar, but it also has a similar risk for preterm birth.
Pregnant women who drink more than one drink sweetened with natural sugar in a day, increasing the risk of premature birth by 25 percent compared with pregnant women who drink less and with a frequency that is rarely a week.
This is related to pregnancy weight which is a risk factor for preterm birth. The strongest relationship between preterm birth and sugary drinks found among women who were overweight, as reported Emaxhealth, Thursday (22/11/2012).
Obese women who consumed sugary drinks a week have a 30 percent risk for preterm delivery than obese women who do not consume sugary drinks. Risk increases by 41 percent if women who are overweight or consume sugary drinks every day.
The authors conclude that this study suggests that a high intake of two drinks play, whether from sugar or artificial sweeteners associated with an increased risk of preterm delivery. Better to increase the intake of drinking water instead of sugary drinks, or you can also eat fruits that have natural sweetness.
