Every pregnant woman who comes
Every pregnant woman who comes to the clinic will always have this question. In India eating this fruit is forbidden for the fear of the teratogenic and abortificient affects of papaya. One of the concepts also is that it belongs to the classification of fruits that produce heat in the body so they avoid papaya. But if you look into the evidence there is no cause for concern for consuming ripe papaya. We don’t have any data or research saying that it is harmful. We also know that it is full of vitamin A and could be beneficial. But having said that I also should mention the semi-ripe or the un-ripe papaya is harmful because it is full of latex. Because we understand from research that this latex can induce abortions and have very similar effects like the oxytocin and progesterone. So it is important to avoid the unripe or semi ripe papaya and no harmful effect from ripe papaya. But if we still look at the cultural and the psychological effects we definitely have to bring in that aspect if the mother-in-law or the mother is so scared of the lady eating papaya I don’t see any need to do that. We can always consume other vitamin rich foods which are orange yellow foods or fruits and vegetables or green leafy vegetables and do away with papaya if it is such a huge mental stress for the lady.
