Zee News : declared in Women beware! Drinking diet beverages during pregnancy may up child obesity risk

New York: Women should not drink artificially sweetened beverage during pregnancy as it increases the risk of obesity in children. Conversely, women who substituted water for sweetened beverages reduced their children's obesity risk at age 7 by 17 per cent, the researchers observed. Cuilin Zhang, from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) said,"Our findings suggest that artificially sweetened beverages during pregnancy are not likely to be any better at reducing the risk for later childhood obesity than sugar-sweetened beverages." However, the study, found that children born to women who drank sweetened beverages were 60 per cent more likely to have a high birth weight. Consuming a daily artificially sweetened beverage appeared to offer no advantages over consuming a daily sugar-sweetened beverage.
