Diet Soda Linked To Premature Birth
We have known very long time that drinking soda's or sugary fruit drinks is not good
for us and can cause us to gain weight or possible develop diabetes. But a new study paints a whole new picture about the dangers of soda. Women who consume artificially sweetened soda's have a much higher rate of premature births than do women who abstain. The higher the intake of these artificially sweetened soda's the higher the rate of babies being born prematurely. As if pregnant women didn't already have enough to worry about!
The study, commissioned in Denmark, looked at 60,000 pregnant women and their resulting births and studied their consumption of diet soft drinks. It was found that there was a 38% increase of having a premmy baby if the mother consumed 1 soda per day but the it increased to an astounding 80% higher risk for women who consumed four or more sodas per day. Regular sodas have been linked with an increase in high blood pressure and a brittleness in bones but this study only focused on artificially sweetened sodas only. This suggests that it is the sweetener that is the cause here. The artificial sweeteners that are most commonly used in sodas are Aspartame and Saccharin. "Aspartame has the alarming ability to break down in the body to other toxic compounds like formaldehyde and formic acid". Is it any wonder that if Aspartame breaks down into such dangerous substances that it could cause something as serious as premature births?
The vast majority of sodas have no nutritional value whatsoever and are filled with toxic additives and sweeteners. Pregnant women should obviously atleast cut back if not cut out sodas all together since even regular soda can be dangerous to them and their child. I think that everyone should stop drinking soda. The science is very clear in that soda is very harmful to you even if you consume a small amount on a consistent basis.
