A member asked:
Are some artifical sweetners healthier/preferred over others during pregnancy? is it better to have sugar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Limited data: There is very limited information to suggest that artificial sweeteners are dangerous for pregnancy. If you are concerned and not diabetic, natural sugar is probably the safest alternative.
