Question from Jennifer
Thanks so much for the information. I learned about Agave from your site. I am a pregnant woman with gestational diabetes and I was using agave daily in moderate amounts. Now I’m depressed and panicy all over again. I have no idea what to do. What sweetener would you recommend to be used in moderation for a pregnant woman with gestational diabetes?
Stevia hasn’t been declared safe for pregnancy and neither has vegetable glycerin.
Honey is out too, as far as I know.
Processed sugar and artificial sweeteners are always bad for you. I know that.
Glucose makes your blood sugar up and fructose is bad for the liver and heart.
Sugar alcohols like Xylitol are laxatives. I am sensitive to those.
