Maternal consumption of total sugar in the second trimester correlated inversely and diffusely with infant MD values, not FA values. (A) Maternal total sugar in pregnancy was not convincingly associated with infant FA values. (B) Maternal total sugar in pregnancy was associated with infant MD values in locations similar to those observed with maternal added sugar in pregnancy. Associations were distributed evenly throughout all of the cortical mantle or adjacent axons of future white matter.
