The Claim
Pregnant women with high consumption of artificial sweeteners have a 56.9% incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), while those with low consumption have a 43.1% incidence, indicating a substantial difference in GDM prevalence based on the level of artificial sweetener exposure.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Women who eat or drink a lot of sugar-free sweeteners while pregnant are more likely to get gestational diabetes than those who eat very little of them.
