Information
Garlic is considered a safe and beneficial food to consume during pregnancy. Garlic is rich in antioxidants and nutrients, making it a nutritious and healthy food. However, pregnant women should consume garlic in moderation, as studies have shown that garlic can increase the risk of miscarriage and complications of pregnancy. In general, it is preferable to consume small amounts of fresh garlic, not canned garlic. In addition, it is preferable to avoid garlic in the form of a supplement because it can contain higher amounts of garlic and can be more difficult to digest. In conclusion, it is quite sure to consume small amounts of fresh garlic during pregnancy, but it is important to do it in moderation. Pregnant women should consult their doctor before consuming garlic supplements or excessive quantities.
