Diet drinks can not be pregnant!

Pregnant women should avoid the use of "dietary"   soft drinks, according to researchers. These beverages are used, artificial sweeteners, which can lead to premature delivery.

Researchers from the Statens Serum Institute in Copenhagen, headed by Professor Torahallurom Haldorssonom studied more than 60,000 pregnant women in Denmark and found that those ladies who drank artificially sweetened water (both carbonated and not) often give birth prematurely.

Only one such drink per day were sufficient to ensure that the risk of premature delivery   (before 37 weeks) increased by 38%. And women who consumed up to four servings of these drinks a day, the risk grew by 78%. In non-carbonated beverages effect was weaker, and the connection between sugar and drink premature birth   It was detected at all.

Scientists believe that the blame Artificial sweeteners That in women converted into chemicals can affect the uterus. The study is published in the journal American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. In the study, scientists have not figured out exactly what Artificial sweeteners   contained in beverages.

However, the effect of such drinks in women whose miscarriage were caused intends not be traced. This suggests that the drinks are not directly lead to premature birth, but they contribute to these changes in the body, when the birth becomes necessary. Perhaps this is due to the drop in blood pressure or development of diabetes. The exact cause of the scientists have not yet figured out.
