What does your wife say about this? Is it better to not take those things even when not pregnant?

We’re just two laymen arguing for the sake of arguing at this point.

“Why not”

Because I only have to support my own body instead of growing another. On the other hand, whatever can harm an embryo because it is much smaller than me, will in a way also harm me.

I wont need Vitamin B-12 as much as a pregnant woman, but it wont harm to stay vary of things that might harm the child.

Just to add to my initial comment. There’s studies about the most common sweeteners (erythriol not included), and they put the risk at low, but wont recommend anything because the datatset is too small to come to a definite conclusion. So it might not even be problematic. Would you risk it though?

There’s no recommendation against honey for pregnant women, only for infants. There’s some concerns about bad quality honey from unknown sources though. So as long as you eat the good stuff…

I have a rule of thumb. If experts and doctors recommend pregnant woman to not eat or drink anything, it’s probably better to stay away from it.
