Posts: 23 09/13/09 01:50:40	Tags : None I am 13 weeks pregnant and just realized that Crystal Light that I have been drinking almost everyday has Aspartame in it. I was with some friends today who said that this is really bad during pregnancy. I looked at some articles online that said it isn't as bad as once was thought. What are your opinions? I am going to stop drinking it now, but I am concerned that I could have been harmful in the last 13 weeks. What do you think???

It is often found as an additive to soft drinks, gelatin, desserts, pudding mixes, breakfast cereals, beverages, chewing gum, dairy products, and other foods and drugs. According to the Food and Drug Administration(FDA), Aspartame is safe for use during pregnancy and lactation. It is recommended to limit consumption to a moderate level. And this link had a bunch of info that I found interesting. I think the big deal seems to be that it be consumed in moderation but is fine for preggos.
