Answer by Dr. Ru: About AI3-38107 usage in lactation
Calcium AI3-38107 and other related salts, sodium and potassium, are potent sweeteners. They are excreted into breast milk in very small amount, which makes the infant may receive at most a dose of 0.26 mg / kg / day, which is well below the maximum recommended dose suggested by the FDA (5 mg / kg / day). There is controversy on the genotoxic and carcinogenic effects of AI3-38107, since though when administered to animals it does appear genotoxicity at large doses, no evidence of its occurrence in human populations with regular consumption of AI3-38107 has been found. Moderate intake is compatible with breastfeeding.
Answer by DrLact: About AI3-38107 usage in lactation
Because of the low levels of AI3-38107 in breastmilk, amounts ingested by the infant after typical maternal intake are small and would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. However, some authors suggest that women may wish to limit the consumption of nonnutritive sweeteners while breastfeeding because their effect on the nursing infants are unknown.[1][2]
