China Health Network. Is it good to eat oranges in early pregnancy?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Oranges contain a high amount of vitamin C, which is easily absorbed, and this vitamin has a significant relationship with children's intelligence. A deficiency of vitamin C in the diet can hinder the function of nerve tubes delivering nutrients to the brain, preventing the brain from receiving nutrients in a timely manner. Therefore, pregnant women can eat oranges, but they should not consume too many at once and should try to limit themselves to no more than one orange per day to avoid "cold directly attacking the body" that may cause gastrointestinal colds.
