Artificial Sweeteners During Pregnancy
If you're pregnant or trying to become pregnant, you should be extremely choosy about what you put in your body. For many mothers-to-be, artificial sweeteners present an area of concern. Some studies show that women who are pregnant or nursing should not ingest saccharin (found in products like Sweet N Low) and other such artificial sweeteners because of potential health hazards to mother and child.
Stevia and cyclamate are two other artificial sweeteners not recommended for use during pregnancy. Stevia is often sold as a dietary supplement, but not enough research has been done on this product to conclude how safe or unsafe it is for pregnant or nursing women. Cyclamate has been concretely linked to cancer and continues to be illegal in the United States. Avoid Artificial Sweeteners During Pregnancy Although the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) keeps a close watch on artificial sweeteners, there are still some on the market that can cause problems for expectant mothers. Your best bet during pregnancy is to ingest only those foods, beverages, and treats that are flavored naturally. At ElimiTaste, we offer smart chewing gum products that include the active ingredient Xylitol; this organic ingredient naturally freshens breath and fights cavities without any dangerous artificial ingredients. Xylitol is a natural compound that has no negative side effects during pregnancy. Many candy companies manufacture gum that includes a small amount of Xylitol, but we use Xylitol as the primary ingredient in our ZAPP! gum. This means you will enjoy higher quality flavor, long-lasting taste, and fabulous health benefits every time you chew it.
