Can pregnant women eat jelly?

Pregnant women should eat jelly carefully.

Reasons for pregnant women to eat jelly cautiously: Most jellies sold in the market are not made of fruit juice at all, but are made of sodium alginate, agar, gelatin, carrageenan and other thickeners, and a small amount of synthetic flavors, artificial colorants, sweeteners and acidulants are added. Although sodium alginate and agar are dietary fibers, excessive absorption will affect the absorption of fat and protein, especially inorganic salts such as iron and zinc will be combined into soluble or insoluble mixtures, thus affecting the absorption and utilization of these trace elements by the body, which is unfavorable to fetal development. It is safe to use food additives correctly, but this safety must be based on "quantity", and it is difficult to evaluate the impact of excessive use. As a sensitive group, pregnant women should eat less jelly.

How to eat jelly correctly for pregnant women: Some jellies are "fruity" jellies, and there is no juice pulp in the raw materials, but fruity essence and food pigment. This kind of jelly has low nutritional value, so it is best not to eat it. In addition, when picking jelly, you must look at whether the packaging is strong, whether there is air leakage or not, and don't just look cheap.
