Thereby, according to current evidence available, life-style interventions to prevent pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity in women of fertile age are necessary to reduce the negative impact of obesity on mother and child health. Unhealthy dietary patterns, together with the increased consumption of processed foods rich in simple sugar and sweeteners are some of the responsible, among others, for the increase in obesity rates during the last years. Nevertheless, how its consumption can affect pregnancy outcomes and long-term children\u2019s health is still uncertain. This review aims to collate the available evidence about the consequences of unhealthy dietary patterns and sugary products consumption, including sweeteners, during pregnancy for obesity in childhood and mid-childhood. High simple sugar intake during gestation may contribute to an excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) as well as to develop other pregnancy complications such as GDM, preeclampsia and preterm birth. The heterogeneity of study populations, sample size, different approaches to measure GWG, GMD, preeclampsia, and birth weight, among other conditions, might explain the divergences observed among studies. Therefore, large, well-designed intervention-controlled trials with biological biomarkers to ensure dietary adherence are necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions in order to provide effective nutritional advice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu12113574","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,23]],"date-time":"2020-11-23T01:28:48Z","timestamp":1606094928000},"page":"3574","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":40,"title":["Impact of Sugary Food Consumption on Pregnancy: A Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0211-9166","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rosa","family":"Casas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Hospital Clinic, Institut d\u2019Investigaci\u00f3 Biom\u00e8dica August Pi i Sunyer (IDIBAPS), University of Barcelona, Villarroel, 170, 08036 Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"CIBER 06\/03: Fisiopatolog\u00eda de la Obesidad y la Nutrici\u00f3n, Instituto de Salud Carlos III, 28029 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6876-5443","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sara","family":"Castro Barquero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Hospital Clinic, Institut d\u2019Investigaci\u00f3 Biom\u00e8dica August Pi i Sunyer (IDIBAPS), University of Barcelona, Villarroel, 170, 08036 Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"CIBER 06\/03: Fisiopatolog\u00eda de la Obesidad y la Nutrici\u00f3n, Instituto de Salud Carlos III, 28029 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1260-4445","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ramon","family":"Estruch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Hospital Clinic, Institut d\u2019Investigaci\u00f3 Biom\u00e8dica August Pi i Sunyer (IDIBAPS), University of Barcelona, Villarroel, 170, 08036 Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"CIBER 06\/03: Fisiopatolog\u00eda de la Obesidad y la Nutrici\u00f3n, Instituto de Salud Carlos III, 28029 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Zylke, J.W., and Bauchner, H.
