Intake of dietary sugar has previously been found to
increase the risk of pre-eclampsia in Norway [12].
Using MoBa data, it was found that added sugar in the
diet was not associated with pre-eclampsia [13].
However,
intake of more than 125 ml of sugar-sweetened
beverages per day compared to no intake, was associated
with increased pre-eclampsia risk (OR = 1.27, 95%
CI: 1.05-1.27).
In the discussion, the authors speculate
that the association to sweet drinks is unlikely to be
due to the added sugar.
They also report that higher
intakes of fresh and dried fruits were associated with
reduced risk of pre-eclampsia.
