Information

Lamprey is a type of fish that is consumed in many countries. Unfortunately, pregnant women are not recommended to eat lamprey during pregnancy. The lamprey contains high levels of omega-3 fatty acids which can increase the risk of bleeding and complications during pregnancy. In addition, lamprey can contain contaminants such as heavy metals, drug residues and bacteria. These substances can cause health problems and undesirable effects for the fetus. Therefore, it is very important that pregnant women avoid eating lamprey. Instead, pregnant women should turn to healthy protein sources such as low mercury, chicken, beef and tofu. These foods are safer and can provide your body and baby with all the nutrients they need. In conclusion, it is important that pregnant women avoid eating lamprey and opt for healthier protein sources.
