I use sucralose as a sugar substitute in my tea sometimes. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm wondering if it's safe to continue using it. Is sucralose bad for pregnancy or can I still have it occasionally?
My clinical team at the hospital confirmed that sucralose has been extensively tested and is safe for pregnant women. However, they advised me to avoid high amounts, so definitely check with your own doctor's team.
When I was at my mum's place, she strictly avoided giving me any artificial sugar-free stuff. It's safe in moderation, but she always said simple natural sugar or mishri is much better for the baby.
According to the FDA, sucralose is safe during pregnancy and doesn't affect the baby. My doctor also told me that having it occasionally is fine, but excessive intake might disrupt gut bacteria, so moderation is key.
I completely understand how stressful it is to check every single ingredient when you are pregnant. Sucralose is technically considered safe by doctors, but if it makes you anxious, it is totally okay to just stick to regular sugar.
Yaar, actually a little bit of sucralose in your tea or sugar-free foods is totally fine. But don't overdo it, natural cane sugar or a little jaggery is always a safer bet.
Oh my god, I used to check the back of every biscuit packet for artificial sweeteners and panic if I saw sucralose! Honestly, having it once in a while won't hurt, but for peace of mind, just avoid sugar-free products.
