Important for Baby

I've noticed alot of mom's post about using sugar free stuff. While too much sugar is bad for you, using the sugar substitutes (fake sugars not the natural honey or fruit based substitutes) is extremely bad for both you and baby. The fake sugars cause problems with the proper growth and development of your baby's nervous system and brain. They also drastically increase the chances of mental retardation. I've had this ground into my brain throughout pre-med and during college / grad school and I hate to think of the consequences a new mom could encounter because they didn't know.
