What are the benefits and risks of eating pineapple during pregnancy? Know these details before eating pineapple during pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eating pineapple during pregnancy was believed to cause miscarriages as it contains Bromelain, an enzyme that induces premature uterine contractions. There is no scientific evidence to support the cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bromelain supplements can cause miscarriage. Bromelain found in pineapple is different from the bromelain supplements. Bromelain is mostly found in the center core of the pineapple and the amount found in the flesh of the fruit is very little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bromelain, an enzyme present in pineapple is thought to soften the cervix and induce pre-term labor. Excess intake of pineapple can lead to miscarriages and diarrhea which may cause discomfort during pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
