Disadvantages of eating sugarcane for pregnant women

1. There is no obvious harm to pregnant women eating sugarcane in moderation, but because sugarcane is a high-sugar food, if the blood sugar level of pregnant women rises during pregnancy, then eating sugarcane will make the symptoms of high blood sugar more and more serious, and in severe cases it will induce gestational diabetes.

2. There are some substances in sugarcane that promote bacterial growth. Pregnant women who eat sugarcane on a regular basis will accelerate the reproduction of bacteria deep in the skin, making it easy for small boils and carbuncle to appear, which is not good for skin health.
