Early Juice Introduction Might Provoke Risk of Obesity in kids

Early Juice Introduction Might Provoke Risk of Obesity in kids

In 2017, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended that 100% fruit juice not be introduced into infants' diets before 12 months of age, if introduced at all. This recommendation is based on concerns that the early introduction of juice and other sweet foods increases the risk of childhood obesity and dental caries.

A recent study suggests that the inclusion of juice early in a child's diet increases the consumption of sugary beverages intake rather than water in early and mid-childhood. The study findings were published in the Journal of Nutrition on September 06, 2021.

Whether 100% fruit juice intake is a healthful component of young children's diets remains controversial. Also, the majority of studies on correlates of 100% fruit juice introduction have been cross-sectional and thus do not prospectively evaluate juice introduction, which may introduce recall bias or right truncation. Therefore, Dr Edwina H Yeung and her team conducted a study to identify correlates of early juice introduction (<6 months) and determine whether early introduction establishes a pattern of sugary beverage intake in childhood.

Upstate KIDS was a prospective birth cohort study with follow-up through 7 years (n = 4989). The researchers assessed the age of juice introduction from responses on periodic questionnaires from 4–18 months and categorized them as <6, 6 to <12, and ≥12 months. They also evaluated the sociodemographic information using vital records or maternal questionnaires. The researchers assessed associations of sociodemographic correlates with juice introduction using Cox proportional hazard models. The relations of juice introduction with beverage intake were evaluated using Poisson or logistic regression for adjusted risk ratios (aRR) or ORs, adjusting for sociodemographic covariates and total beverage intake.

Key findings of the study were:

  • Upon analysis, the researchers observed that a quarter of participating mothers started giving their babies juice before six months, 49% did it between 6 and 12 months, and 26% of mothers started giving their babies juice only after 12 months.
  • They found that

â—ŠYounger maternal age;

â—ŠBlack or Hispanic race/ethnicity;

â—ŠLower educational attainment;

â—ŠSpecial supplemental nutrition program for women, infants, and children participation (yes);

â—ŠSmoking during pregnancy;

â—ŠHigher pre-pregnancy BMI;

â—ŠLower household income; and

â—ŠLiving in a townhouse/condominium or mobile home were associated with earlier juice introduction.

  • They also found that earlier juice introduction was related to a higher childhood juice intake, any soda intake, and lower water intake, holding total beverage intake constant [aRR, 1.5; adjusted OR 1.6; aRR 0.9, respectively].

The authors concluded, "Markers of lower socioeconomic status are strongly associated with earlier juice introduction, which, in turn, relates to sugary beverage intake in childhood, potentially replacing water."

They further added, "Future studies should examine whether introduction of 100% fruit juice and introduction of juice drinks with added sugars have differing effects on beverage preferences in childhood."
