Fructose: The sugar found in fruits and honey. A lot of people

think it's bad, but I don't think it's as bad as some other kinds of

things. My sublingual Vitamin B-12 has fructose in it, and I'm not

losing any sleep over it. It's just important to treat it the same as

any sugar, you don't want to be eating a lot of it.

amount probably affects things for sure. A teeny tablet is different

from a whole big serv of something with it in it.

Fructose is often used in diabetic friendly (supposedly!!) products

especially before the advent of splenda and nutrasweet which are light

years worse. however since fructose impairs liver function it is not

such a good option. Splenda and Aspartame are of course not even in the

same category as food.

Probiotics: Completely 100% safe during pregnancy.

most are. Though i would avoid ones with Bacillus strains and

sachromyces - like Primal Defence which has attracted some safety

concerns.

If anything, they'd make for a happier, healthier pregnancy.

OMX is, of course, the best kind.

OMX is great. and even better is LB17 which has the strains of OMX but

several more and is guaranteed 100% vegan. see

www.cybermacro.com

to order it in the US.

or contact !

Natren is also good and i think their baby acidophillous and pregnancy,

lactation ones are good. They may have avegan option in those as in

others

DHA: No, I don't believe that DHA is vegan.

most is sources from fish but it is available sourced from algae. That

is where the fish get it

I'm pretty sure it can only be found in fish. However, I know

that there is research that says if you are eating enough Omega-3, and

you don't have any genetic condition that makes it hard for your body

to synthesize fatty acids, your body will convert some of the Omega-3

you eat into DHA. If you do decide you want to take DHA, vegan or not,

I hear that krill oil is some of the best.

i hear that too.

check out the article on flax oil and pregancy - should be in the

archives or google john finnegan, fats, pregancy
