As a pregnant diabetic I can tell you artificial sweeteners are fine. Otherwise no diabetic woman could ever have a baby. Diet pops are even considered freebies.
I drink crystal light and eat light yogurt with aspartame in it daily. Drink like 4 bottled waters with mio in it everyday. I had it all with my first (except mio) and will till the end of this pregnancy, 5 weeks left!
@onemoreontheway All I'm saying is research has proven the opposite and most artificial sweeteners are not safe. They can cause miscarriage if consumed regularly. If you're fine with that risk, that's up to you. But I'm certainly not talking any chances.
I'm beginning to think you can't do ANYTHING while pregnant. Every time I turn around they're saying not to eat or drink something.. Sometimes I wonder if they make it up as they go along.. "We'll recent studies have shown that breathing in oxygen can give you acumplicoxis, so you should avoid breathing or your baby can be born with 3 arms and a mohawk"
I'm stuck drinking water, but have to worry about leaving it in the car for too long, if it has flouride(sp) in it, if it's bottled where it REALLY came from..
No aspertame is horrible I heard they even check babies for high levels of it! What they don't tell u is aspertame has an experation date and is. Usually outdated by the time u consume it. It gives me severe head aches...
I found one called 100% natural. Its has a lot less chemicals in it. I believe its sweetener is truvia, but the main ingredient is lemon juice. Its a good alternative to plain water. My doc said crystal lite was fine in moderation, but I still switched the that other brand. On the down side, I have only seen lemonade and raspberry lemonade flavor. I found it at local grocery stores and walmart
