I love adding a bit of vinegar in my chinese food and salads. Now that im pregnant my saas told me to avoid it. Im 11 weeks. Is it actually a problem or just a myth?
My mother-in-law was a bit worried about sour things like vinegar causing heat, but my doctor confirmed that pasteurized white or apple cider vinegar in cooking is completely safe. Just don't drink raw unpasteurized ones. Trust your doctor and enjoy your food in moderation.
Yes, you can have it, actually apple cider vinegar in salads is good for blood sugar. But if you have gestational diabetes like I did, be very careful about what you mix it with—avoid high-carb sauces and sweet dressings. Always check with your dietician once.
Yes, standard kitchen vinegar is totally fine to eat and super cheap too. Just stick to normal brand white vinegar at home instead of spending money on fancy imported unpasteurized vinegars that might carry infection risks. Saving on medical bills starts with simple food safety.
Yes, normal synthetic vinegar or white vinegar that we use in chowmein is perfectly fine in small quantities. Just make sure you are eating clean, hot home-cooked food rather than unhygienic street Chinese. That simple step will keep your stomach safe.
Of course you can eat vinegar, there's no harm in having it in normal food amounts. I've had two kids and ate Chinese and salads with vinegar throughout both pregnancies. Just don't overdo it if you have severe acidity or heartburn.
