Is any kind of pepper harmful during pregnancy?

Answer 1

Not that I have ever heard. I think the only risk with that would be heartburn! Typically the foods you want to avoid during pregnancy are fish, raw eggs, hotdogs,raw meat and soft cheeses such as feta, or goat cheese. A pregnant woman can eat seafood but she must be very careful about what seafoods she can eat because a lot of seafood contains Mercury, which can be very harmful to the fetus. Bottom-feeder fish are the worst. A pregnant woman should definitely avoid: * swordfish * shark * blowfish * tilefish * king mackerel The following fish should not be eaten because they can contain industrial pollutant in their fatty tissues: * blue fish * stripped bass * salmon * pike * trout * walleye http://www.amazingpregnancy.com/weekbyweek/foods.html
