Pregnancy guidance

Limit

Pecan pie is safe to consume as an occasional indulgence while pregnant, but it should be strictly limited. Pecans provide beneficial unsaturated fats, choline, and zinc, but the filling contains massive quantities of corn syrup, brown sugar, and butter. The USDA Dietary Guidelines urge pregnant women to limit concentrated sugar desserts to maintain steady blood glucose control. Eat a very small slice on holiday occasions and pair it with a glass of water.
