Consuming just one fizzy drink a day reduces couples’ chances of conceiving by more than 30 percent, new research suggests.<\/p>\n
Men who drink at least one sugary soda a day reduce their chances of fathering a child by 33 percent, a study found.<\/p>\n
Women who drink just one sugar-sweetened fizzy beverage a day are 25 percent less likely to become pregnant in any given month, the research adds.<\/p>\n
Previous research suggests eggs and embryos may fail to thrive in high blood glucose environments. Sugar has also been linked to erectile dysfunction in men.<\/p>\n
\n
Lead author Professor Elizabeth Hatch from Boston University, said: ‘We found positive associations between intake of sugar-sweetened beverages and lower fertility, which were consistent after controlling for many other factors, including obesity, caffeine intake, alcohol, smoking and overall diet quality.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Couples planning a pregnancy might consider limiting their consumption of these beverages, especially because they are also related to other adverse health effects.’<\/p>\n
Infertility affects around 11 percent of women and nine percent of men of a reproductive age in the US.\u00a0<\/p>\n
