    Is it true that pregnant women who eat papaya will cause jaundice in their babies?

    The main cause of jaundice in babies is increased bilirubin in the blood, which causes the sclera (white part of the eye) and skin to turn yellow. Excessive intake of red and yellow vegetables and fruits by ordinary people, such as carrots, papayas, papayas, oranges, willow dices, persimmons, mangoes, etc., will cause the carotene content in the blood to be too high, and the carotene will be deposited on the skin, causing the skin to turn yellow.

    However, there are currently no clinical reports of neonatal jaundice caused by the consumption of papaya by pregnant or postpartum women. The consumption of papaya is not related to the occurrence of jaundice. 》》》Must-eat for pregnant women13Growing food
