A woman's diet during pregnancy is what determines if they will give birth to a healthy baby.

A recent study has revealed that soda may have some devastating consequences especially to an unborn child. 

 A scholar explained that one way to ensure your unborn child is healthy is to shun foods like sport drinks, fruit drinks and and soda.

 "One way to keep your child from getting off on a poorer footing is to watch and limit added sugar intake, especially sugar-sweetened beverages like fruit drinks, sports drinks and sodas," noted study author Dr. Juliana Cohen, an assistant professor at Merrimack College in North Andover, Mass.

Drinking soda while pregnant was linked to poor fine motor, visual motor abilities and visual spatial in early childhood.

Children whose mothers used to drink soda during pregnancy developed poor verbal abilities, the study revealed.
