The Truth About Sugar & Pregnancy: Why Midwives Recommend Avoiding It

Question
I've noticed many midwives are recommending no sugar during pregnancy.  Do you know why that is?

Thanks.

Answer
Hello Michelle. Sugar is a very harmful and addictive substance that human beings were NEVER meant to ingest. It has NO nutritive value and confuses the satiety center in the brain so that proper nutrition is not taken in. The food industry knows very well how addictive it is and makes sure they use it in almost ALL their products- read some labels and you will find it in one of it's over 100 different names. Even some table salt contains sugar. During pregnancy it is vital that EVERY bite of food be of top nutritive value and there is NO room for empty items like sugar and flour. Hope that helps- Cheri.
