Digestible Carbohydrate Intake and Maternal-Infant Outcomes: A Systematic Review

Digestible Carbohydrate Intake and Maternal-Infant Outcomes: A Systematic Review: This review identified and summarized the available evidence linking digestible carbohydrate intake and outcomes among pregnant people and infants from birth up to 24 months of age. Although the scope of this review is limited to outcomes of pregnancy, at birth, and up to 24 months of age, nutrition during these life stages has long-term health effects extending into adolescence and adulthood. This review will be used to inform the work of the expert panel convened by the NASEM that will update the U.S. and Canadian government DRIs for macronutrients, including carbohydrate.
