Can pregnant women eat aspartame?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Can pregnant women with aspartame eat it?

Doctor's answer:

This additive is generally used in foods like preserved fruits and preserved melon, and it is not inherently harmful. However, pregnant women are advised to consume fewer food additives and processed foods, while eating more whole grains.
Hello, because pregnancy can lead to gestational diabetes, if diabetes occurs, symptoms like thirst may appear. Therefore, it is recommended that you have your fasting blood sugar checked at the hospital to see if there is an increase in blood sugar levels.
