Diet soda during pregnancy? new study tests if cutting them helps babies
NCT ID NCT06548828
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether avoiding non-nutritive sweeteners (like those in diet sodas) during pregnancy and breastfeeding can lower babies' risk of obesity and improve mothers' blood sugar control. About 324 pregnant women who regularly consume these sweeteners will be split into groups: some will stop during pregnancy and breastfeeding, some only during breastfeeding, and some will continue as usual. The goal is to see if these changes affect baby body fat, mom's glucose levels, and baby gut health.
