I was advised to avoid some diet drinks by Diabetes Australia (I had gestational diabetes). The only artificial sweetners you are supposed to have are numbers 950 and 951. I'm not sure what their names are and if the numbers are only used in Australia. Other artificial sweeteners (952, 954, 955) are believed to cross the placenta. They didn't know if it affected the baby, but thought prevention better than cure.
