Description
Charles Prendergast and co-authors relate sugary snacks and soft drinks to allergy outcomes in Polish children in 2026 work. Data came from the Polish arm of the Global Asthma Network, covering 4,647 children aged 6 to 15 years. Parents reported how often children ate sweet snacks and drank soft drinks.
Frequent sweet snack intake tied to higher odds of lifetime hay fever and eczema, but not to current symptoms. Soft drink results pointed both ways, with lower odds for some allergies yet higher odds of current wheeze. Girls and children exposed to traffic fumes showed higher symptom odds throughout, which the authors note as firm background factors.
