Can pregnant women eat coconuts to remove fetal toxins?

Patient's question:

Today, while I was out shopping, I passed by a coconut stall. The vendor said that eating more coconuts is especially good for children, and it can also help remove toxins. So, I wanted to ask if pregnant women can eat coconuts to remove fetal toxins?

Doctor's answer:

Drinking coconut juice during pregnancy does not affect the detoxification of the fetus. There is no scientific evidence in clinical practice to support the claim of fetal poisoning. During pregnancy, we need to pay attention to our diet, eat less stimulating and spicy cold foods, and avoid medications that may affect the fetus. Regular prenatal check-ups are necessary. Sufficient nutrition is beneficial for fetal development. You don't need to worry too much and relax. It is recommended to consult a larger hospital.
