New research suggests drinking soda while pregnant isn’t in the best interest of a baby’s brain, according to WebMD.
According to a new study, when expecting mothers consume a lot of sugar – especially in sugar-filled sodas – their children developed poor learning and memory skills.
The study also revealed that diet soda was not a happy alternative during pregnancy as it was linked to poorer visual, fine motor, visual motor, and spatial abilities during early childhood development. The study revealed that by the age of seven, the children of mothers who consumed diet soda during pregnancy had poor verbal skills when compared to a child of a mother that didn’t drink diet soda.
The research from the study didn’t stop inside the womb. It also determined that the consumption of excess sugar isn’t good for the growing brain of a child either. Children who consumed excessive amounts of sugar were linked to both memory and learning struggles.
