Pregnancy guidance
LimitMarshmallows should be limited during pregnancy because they consist almost entirely of sugar, corn syrup, and gelatin. They provide quick calories without offering dietary fiber, iron, calcium, or vitamins needed for fetal development. Regular intake of simple confections can lead to unwanted spikes in maternal blood sugar. Reserve marshmallows for an occasional cup of hot cocoa.
