What foods should a woman avoid during her early pregnancy?
Answer
edit: oops, wrong person. anyway:
Avoid junk food as much as possible. This includes fast food, preprepared foods, processed foods, all that stuff. Try to eat organic or locally grown if you can. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and high mercury fish (fish like Haddock are okay because they are low mercury.) No sushi! I know it sucks, but the quality of sushi in the US is just not the same as in Japan, and should be avoided during pregnancy (but you can eat the cooked rolls.) Avoid stuff like sucralose, aspartame, splenda, high fructose corn syrup... All that stuff is terrible for people in general and should be avoided at all times, not just in pregnancy. Certain cheeses, like feta and bleu cheeses should be avoided. Some people claim raw milk should me avoided, I disagree. Raw milk is far more beneficial than pasteurized milk, pasteurized milk is nutritionally useless and damages the balance of gut flora, which has been found to be a possible link to autism. If you drink raw milk, make sure you visit the farm first and check for cleanliness and make sure they are organic cows that are grass fed and roam a pasture. Very few people get sick from raw milk (about 42 annually of the approximately 9 million raw milk consumers in the US.) Milk requires pasteurization when a cow is fed grain or soy, which throws off the balance of bacteria in their gut, and also when they are not able to roam a pasture or open space and are instead confined to a barn where they sleep where they poop. .
Make sure your meats are cooked thoroughly. Avoid GMO foods. Non-GMO foods are labeled as such. If it's not labeled non-GMO, then it's probably not non-GMO. Don't eat soy, it is terrible for everyone! Soy contains estrogen compounds which are bad for males, as well as bad for females (the more estrogen a woman is exposed to in her lifetime, the more her risk of breast cancer increases.) Avoid plastics with BPA and definitely don't heat foods or drinks in plastic items. And definitely be weary of tap water. If you can, get a reverse osmosis system for your kitchen sink at least (which is where we get most of our tap water exposure,) and get a shower filter. There are all kinds of things in tap water from bacteria, to medicines, to poisons like fluoride and chlorine.
i know it's hard and we can't avoid these things 100% of the time, but limit them as much as you can.
If you want more info about anything I've said, I can provide you with lots of sources. Just let me know.

organic food and pregnancy?
kjhglkhg
can eating organic food while your pregnant harm the baby? I was just wondering because my sisters husband and her are on this "organic" kick, and she's pregnant. I just don't want anything to happen. Thanks!
Answer
Organic food is actually healthier...for everyone, preggerz or not, male or female, young or old.
When you compare say an organic carrot and a regular carrot side by side, the organic carrot was grown without any chemicals (pesticides, fertilizers, insecticides, etc). The regular carrot...you don't what that has been in. You can try to wash it off, but you most likely won't be able to get all the chemical residue, because your only washing the surface...gross.
