Hello, I have question regarding Diet pop and Splanda during pregnancy. What is everyone's opinion on using diet pop and splenda? Do you mean Splenda? I was advised to switch to splenda for gestational diabetes during my last pregnancy, I guess that means it's safe. Diet pop/soda isn't good for you any which way, better than regular of course but most contains aspartame which isn't advised during pregnancy. I have to admit to a fairly regular diet coke though, my bad. |

I wouldn't use either even when NOT pregnant. With so much real food on
earth, why fill your body with chemicals? me too, it's not great at keeping you hydrated either, if I do drink pop, I drink the full sugar stuff, it's not great, but it's got one less group of chemicals is it and it sends your body the right signs, there has been various reports of problems from diet stuff, as your body thinks it is having sugar due to the taste, which then has knock on affects because there is no sugar there for the various systems to work on. I think splenda has it's uses, my mum will occasionally make something for my grandma (type 2 diabetic, onset in late 70s), but would still prefer to offer something without sugar and only does this on special occasions. In the length of time that gestational diabetes applies, I think it's far better to focus on the good diet, it's not something you have to follow for years, but about 3months, particularly as most things you would use splenda in aren't full of other good stuff too, are likely to have processed carbohydrates in, etc. Anne |

Anne And ice water or fruity, unsweetened iced tea is even better. If I'm gonna have a weakness, it's going to be chocolate flavored.... gloria p |

diet pop
Splenda wasn't around when I was pregnant, but I did enjoy a diet pop a few
times a week. I do not like regular pop, as I think they are just too sweet. I love a good cold diet pepsi though. I did drink a cup of coffee in the mornings with my pregnancies. No ill effects on my end. I use Splenda now and have noticed no problems like I did with aspartame. I love Splenda and I am glad they have come up with something better.
