Increased Sugar During Pregnancy = Increased Allergies in Babies
Researchers found that children whose mothers consumed 16 to 69 teaspoons of sugar a day were over two times more likely to develop allergic asthma (triggered by an allergic reaction to pollen, mold and other airborne irritants) as a child whose mom had limited intake. Twelve ounces of cola has almost 10 teaspoons of sugar; one glazed doughnut, 3 teaspoons; caramel macchiato, 8 teaspoons.
The researchers speculate that dietary sugar, especially high fructose corn syrup (which has been in our food supply only since the 1960s), increases levels of inflammatory C-reactive protein and/or alters the gut biome in Mom, and that causes the pass-along effect. So during pregnancy, ditch added sugars and syrups. Your sweet child will have a much sweeter childhood if you skip the sweets.
