It has been repeated suggested that drinking sugar sweetened drinks is a major risk factor for obesity. The role of pure fruit is controversial as although it contains natural sugar it also provides beneficial polyphenosl and vitamin C. The project will compare the drinking sugar sweetened drinks, sugar sweetened fruit containing drinks and pure fruit juice by the mother during pregnancy and during the firts year of age. The effects on the weight gain during the first ten years of life will be examined.

Will answer the question whether fruit juice should be viewed in a similar way to sugar sweetened beverages
