Aspartame while TTC?
| Fri, 08-29-2003 - 9:46am |
I read an article yesterday on Aspartame (sugar substitute) that talked about its effects on joints, muscles and much more etc. Some people were not able to even walk on their own while using this product. I haven't really seen any discussion here about its effects on TTC and wondered if this is something we all should avoid?
Anybody know anything about this?
Thanks,
Kathy

I personally avoid it best that I can. I would definitely do so if TTC. But that's just me. I'd rather stick to natural sugar from Mother Nature.

My DH has been having alot of aches and joint pains. He was drinking like a gallong of Crystal Light a day not to mention the blue packets of sugar in his coffee. I drink more water than anything but do have 1-2 cups of coffee a day (some decaf) and will start using real sugar.

If this substance is making healthy non pregnant people ill I would advise not to consume any of it period. In the article it talks about how it can make people ill with symptoms similar to Multiple Sclerosis. I'll keep looking for articles on it's effect with TTC but I would stay away from it if I were you. It's better to be safe than sorry, especially when you are ttc.

Maybe this will give her the push she needs to get off of it completely.
