Baby cup ears are something that parents-to-be do not want to see and can be a sinking blow to couples. Everything has a root cause, so to speak, so what are the factors that lead to the appearance of fetal cup ear? Here are five foods that are likely to cause fetal cup-shaped ears. 1, too much acidic food – generally speaking, women in the early stages of pregnancy, often nausea, vomiting and other reactions, and our folk have been useful acidic food to relieve the practice of vomiting during pregnancy, and even the practice of acidic drugs to stop vomiting. These methods are not desirable. In recent years, foreign medical research institutions clearly pointed out that acidic food and drugs are one of the “culprits” leading to malformations. In the study found that pregnant women eat too much meat, fish, chocolate, sugar and other acidic foods, their body fluids will change, forming a kind of “acidification”, and further promote the blood catecholamine levels increase, thus causing pregnant women irritability, temper tantrums, easy to hurt and other negative emotions. This negative emotion can increase the secretion of hormones and other toxic substances in the mother’s body, which is an important cause of fetal cleft palate, cleft lip and other organ developmental malformations. At the same time, researchers measured the acidity of fetal tissues and maternal blood at different times and concluded that it is better not to eat or eat less acidic food or acid-containing drugs (such as vitamin C and aspirin) during the first half of pregnancy. The first thing you need to do is to eat some acidic food to meet the nutritional needs of the mother and fetus and to help the fetus’ bone growth and development. However, the opposite is true, pregnant women such as eating a lot of acidic food, will make the body alkalinity decline, easy to cause fatigue, weakness, not only easy to make the mother suffer from certain diseases, but more importantly, can therefore affect the normal and healthy growth and development of the fetus, the situation is serious, and can even lead to fetal malformations. 2. Food containing Toxoplasma gondii Almost all mammals and birds (such as rats, pigs, sheep, cattle, rabbits, chickens, ducks and geese) can transmit Toxoplasma gondii. The main source of human infection is the meat of these animals, such as hot pot scalding time is too short, the temperature of the barbecue is not enough, the meat of Toxoplasma gondii is not killed, there is a risk of infection; raw meat and cooked food share a cutting board, the Toxoplasma gondii on raw meat will contaminate cooked food; contaminated sheep, milk can also be infected. The low rate of Toxoplasma gondii infection in our population may be related to Chinese people’s habit of eating cooked meat, not with pets. 3, pig liver Finland and the United States have given advice to pregnant women should eat less pig liver. Because of the rapid fattening of livestock in the modern feed, adding too much fattening agent, which is high in vitamin A, resulting in a large accumulation of it in the animal liver. Pregnant women over-eating pig liver, a large amount of vitamin A will easily enter the body, the fetal development is very harmful, and even teratogenic. Warm tip: Excess vitamin A can cause damage to almost all parts of the body, including the eyes, bones, blood, skin, central nervous system, liver, reproductive and urinary systems, dizziness, vomiting, headaches, skin damage, mental retardation and menstrual disorders, and in serious cases, even blindness and life-threatening. 4, long-stored potatoes Potatoes contain alkaloids, and the longer the potatoes are stored, the higher the alkaloid content. Excessive consumption of such potatoes can affect the normal development of the fetus and lead to fetal malformations. Of course, people are very different and not everyone will have abnormalities after eating them, but it is better for pregnant women not to eat, especially not to eat long-term storage of potatoes. Warm tip: If you eat potatoes with a little numb feeling in the mouth, indicating that the potatoes also contain more lobotropin, should immediately stop eating to prevent poisoning. 5, contaminated food The United States had a large number of herbicides used in Vietnam battlefield, resulting in many pregnant women gave birth to deformed children, manifested as eye and face defects, frontal cleft, delayed ossification, etc.. In the early 1950s, unusual changes occurred in the waters of Mizukami City in Japan: fish floated on the surface, birds fell into the sea in flight, shellfish rotted. Seaweed died. In 1959, it was proved that the cat was caused by eating mercury-containing fish and shellfish from Minamata Bay. At the same time, there are patients similar to cats, especially pregnant women who ate mercury-contaminated fish, shellfish and other food, causing congenital mercury poisoning of the fetus, after birth, manifested as stunted growth, mental retardation, and in some cases, paralysis death due to brain damage. Warm tips: pregnant mothers lack of inorganic salts or trace elements can cause fetal malformations, pregnant women often eat contaminated food can also cause fetal malformations. The food contaminated by organochlorine pesticides such as DDT, six-six-six and organomercury pesticides such as Cilixon, which have a strong accumulation of pesticides, will accumulate in the pregnant woman’s body and enter the placenta through the blood circulation, leading to fetal poisoning, thus causing miscarriage, malformation, stillbirth, etc.
