Cake is a favorite food for many people. The reason why people like to eat cakes is that there is butter in them. However, eating too much butter is easy to make people fat and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Pregnant women belong to a special group, and their diet is somewhat different from that of ordinary people. So, can pregnant women eat butter?

Pregnant women can eat butter, but not too much. Animal butter is 90% saturated fat, and eating too much butter is very easy to make people fat. When a woman is pregnant, she should not gain too much weight, otherwise she is prone to gestational diabetes and hypertension. Therefore, pregnant women should not eat more butter, and if they eat it, it should not exceed 10g every day.

If a woman eats too much butter during pregnancy, it will not only make her weight gain too fast, but also make her fetus too large, making it difficult for pregnant women to give birth. If pregnant women have high blood pressure and high blood sugar, if they eat a lot of butter, it will aggravate the condition, which will not only damage the health of pregnant women, but also have a very adverse impact on the fetus.

Besides animal butter, there is also vegetable butter, also called margarine. There are a lot of trans fatty acids in vegetable butter, which is easy to cause heart disease, so pregnant women can't eat margarine, even ordinary people can't eat it.
