Can pregnant women drink Yakult?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Pregnant women can drink Yakult. Yakult is mainly composed of skim milk powder, glucose, natural flavors, active lactic acid bacteria, and water. It is a lactic acid bacteria beverage with the main component being the Shirota strain of Lactobacillus casei. It contains no harmful substances that are bad for pregnant women or babies. Drinking an appropriate amount of Yakult daily is beneficial for digestion, and its slightly sour and sweet taste is also appetizing. However, nothing should be consumed in excess. Pregnant women should avoid caffeine-containing beverages and foods, spicy and irritating foods, MSG, ginseng, longans, and canned foods. Avoid contact with toxic substances and radiation sources. Quit smoking, alcohol, and tea.
