My friend told me papaya is dangerous and can stop pregnancy from happening, now im scared because i ate it last week. Is there any truth in this or just one of those things everyone keeps saying?

No, papaya is not a reliable way to prevent or avoid anything, thats just an old belief. Raw or unripe papaya in large amounts is the one people warn against during pregnancy. For preventing pregnancy please use proper contraception from a doctor.
Beta in our time elders said raw papaya is heaty and to avoid in pregnancy, but it is not a real method to prevent anything. These are just old kahaniyan. For proper guidance, doctor se baat karo na.
This is a myth, dont depend on food for prevention. Ripe papaya in moderation is actually fine for most. For contraception, only a gynac can advise the safe method.
