  Fake sugars are always scary to me.  I don't eat or drink anything with any form of sugar substitute, pregnant or not.  I don't let my kids have that stuff either.

  I'm choosing not to because it doesn't seem smart in general. Aspertame (the most studied) has been shown to cause cancer in mice. Now when not pg I ate tonnes of it - I figure I'm bigger than a mouse so I'd need a lot more to have an affect. But now that I have a tiny-little mouse-like thing in my uterus I've changed my 'take' on them. Artifical sweetners contain nothing beneficial to the fetus, so they're easy for me to avoid.
  

  It's everyone's personal choice- I chose 'no'.

  I had GD during my 1st pregnancy and was told by my OB and by my diabetic nutritionists that products with splenda were fine.

  Ha. No.

  I'm not that attached to the splenda in my tea.

  Nevermind, was apparently blind and missed a bunch of sites in the search. Got it now. I think I'll opt for the real thing.

  Thanks
