The harm of preservatives to pregnant women

Food additives can be said to be made of many chemicals. Many small foods contain such additives because they not only taste better, but also extend the shelf life of the substance. However, they are really not good for our bodies, especially for pregnant women. These food additives are very harmful. So what are the hazards of preservatives to pregnant women?

The harm of food additives to pregnant women

1. Eating too much MSG will cause hair loss and also cause certain harm to eyesight. It is recommended that you try to eat less MSG in the future. It is better to use chicken essence when cooking. Pregnant women who eat too much MSG will cause fetal maldevelopment, so try to avoid eating MSG and choose other condiments instead.

3. It is important to consume a lot of nutrients during pregnancy, but this does not mean indulging in your appetite. Especially some snacks or junk food such as cooked food and drinks with too many additives should be eaten less or avoided. This is because a certain amount of additives, such as artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, etc., are added to these foods during the processing process. Although these additives have little effect on healthy adults, excessive consumption by pregnant women can have adverse effects on the developing fetus. Severe cases may also lead to fetal malformations.

What foods should pregnant women avoid?

1. Canned food: The nutritional value of canned food is not high. After high-temperature processing, the vitamins and other nutrients in the food have been destroyed to a certain extent. Moreover, chemical additives in canned foods can affect fetal cell division, causing developmental disorders, miscarriage and premature birth.

2. Using chemical raw materials such as nitrite, tartrazine and some local "spices" to process and color cooked foods such as "roast chicken" or "pigeon meat".

3. Ice cream and sherbet. These foods contain various additives and can easily make you feel full, affecting the absorption of other nutrients. It is recommended to eat less of them.

4. Sugary peanut butter, pickles, salad dressing, salad dressing, and pasta sauce. This type of food is high in calories and will cause rapid weight gain, which will not only deform the pregnant woman's body and turn the fetus into a giant baby, but will also make labor more likely.

After the introduction of the above content, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of food additives. There are relevant regulations that stipulate that food additives are safe and non-toxic, so foods with food additives can also be eaten. This is mostly for people who are not pregnant. After all, it is not a natural food. Pregnant women can avoid eating the above-mentioned foods and eat more fresh foods.
