				I am 14 weeks pregnant and was told that Tasti-D-Lite is bad to have during pregnancy because of all the chemical and itr is unnatural. But I have been craving it so much. How bad is it if I just have a small portion occasionally?

				According to Tasti-D-lite, there is nothing "unnatural" about their yogurts. They claim that the main ingredients in the yogurt include: water, non-fat milk, sugar, cream, vegetable gums, lactase, natural vanilla, and cocoa and other natural flavors. Therefore, there is likely nothing in the product that could negatively affect you or your baby during your pregnancy. While the ingredients in the yogurt may be harmless, the calories and fat in the yogurt are not accurately reported by the manufacturers. For example, in one study, the calorie content of a 4ounce tasti-d-lite yogurt was 4 times the stated amount! Therefore, it is safe to eat the yogurt, but enjoy it in small portions to keep the calories and fat in check.
