WEBVTT - Can I Eat That During Pregnancy?

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:08.840
<v Speaker 1>Who baby a baby? I need you, oh hell, I

0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:14.000
<v Speaker 1>need you what to expect? As a production of I

0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:18.159
<v Speaker 1>Heart Radio, I'm your host, Heidi Murkop and I'm a

0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:20.960
<v Speaker 1>mom on a mission, a mission to help you know

0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:27.360
<v Speaker 1>what to expect every step of the way. Maybe you're

0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>bracing for the bad news about your morning coffee now

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:33.400
<v Speaker 1>that you're pregnant, feeling blue because you've heard that blue

0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:37.400
<v Speaker 1>cheese is all the menu, and your salad you prefer

0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:41.599
<v Speaker 1>your cold cuts cold, and your salmon sashimi style, and

0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:45.479
<v Speaker 1>your burger your way as in rare, maybe still moving

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 1>instead of the pregnancy way gray and overcooked. But does

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.800
<v Speaker 1>eating for two really mean you'll have to think twice

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 1>about all the foods and drinks you never gave a

0:00:57.200 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 1>second thought too. With some exceptions, a few limitations, and

0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:05.280
<v Speaker 1>a healthy side of caution, you might be surprised to

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:09.160
<v Speaker 1>discover that the business of baby making can actually mixed

0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:14.400
<v Speaker 1>surprisingly well with the pleasures of eating. Hungry for the

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 1>truth about what you can really eat today, I'm here

0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:22.560
<v Speaker 1>to dish it out. So Emma's here today, And Emma,

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.399
<v Speaker 1>I would say, of all the pregnant women I've ever

0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:28.959
<v Speaker 1>talked to, you probably had the easiest time with giving

0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:32.560
<v Speaker 1>up things when you were pregnant, because okay, let's take

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:36.760
<v Speaker 1>an accounting here. You don't drink ever, black sheep of

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 1>the family. You don't eat fish at all, cooked or raw,

0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:47.960
<v Speaker 1>and you always order your meat well done. God forbid,

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 1>I ever put a rare or even medium rare, even

0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 1>pink burger in front of you. Right, thanks, Mom. Now

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:58.240
<v Speaker 1>nobody's gonna want to party with me. Well, it's a

0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 1>different kind of party. Um, you guys, I'm still cool.

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm still cool. You are the life of the party.

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't need a drink to have a good time.

0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm a good time anyway. I'll dance on the tables,

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:11.680
<v Speaker 1>Yes you will. So what were you There had to

0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>be something that you were bummed about giving up when

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 1>you were pregnant. Okay, So with Lennox, definitely it was coffee.

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 1>I missed my coffee. But with Sebastian, I wanted nothing

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 1>to do with coffee, even like the smell of coffee

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 1>made me sick. Common But yeah, the second I gave birth,

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 1>I was like, give me that stop bucks. But with Letox,

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 1>what was really helpful for me where those by those

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 1>by juices, because they have a tiny bit of caffeine,

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 1>because if I didn't have caffeine, I got that horrible

0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:48.919
<v Speaker 1>no caffeine headache. For sure, it's probably the hardest thing

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.640
<v Speaker 1>to give up. But the good news is actually that

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:53.440
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to give it up. And I'm pretty

0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:55.840
<v Speaker 1>sure I told you that when you were pregnant, you

0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:59.040
<v Speaker 1>just have to instead of surrendering the Starbucks card, you

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:02.160
<v Speaker 1>just have to pull it out less often and be

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 1>judicious in your orderings. So, for instance, two milligrams of

0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:11.640
<v Speaker 1>caffeine per day is what's considered the safe limit. That's

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 1>before you're expecting, during pregnancy, and even when you're breast heating.

0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 1>So what does two hundred milligrams buy You are not

0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 1>my trent to not a whole lot? What's the small

0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 1>sized hall bounces. Yeah, it's at all but you can

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.920
<v Speaker 1>get around that. But it's also the equivalent of two

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 1>shots of espresso. So if you have a two shot Americano,

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 1>that's fine, But if you want to add more shots,

0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.400
<v Speaker 1>all you have to do is cut them half and

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 1>half with decaf. And the other thing you can do,

0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 1>which I know you like to do, is to pour

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of milk into your coffee. So yeah, twelve

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:52.040
<v Speaker 1>bounces is fine. And if you do have to wean

0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>yourself off a really big habit, do that gradually. That's

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 1>why I actually recommend doing it before you become pregnant. Um.

0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 1>But there were other things, like when you went out

0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:05.000
<v Speaker 1>for dinner the first time to a restaurant and you

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 1>were pregnant, there had to be something that you looked

0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.120
<v Speaker 1>at the menu and you're like, can I have that?

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Can I eat this? What about blue cheese? Right? Didn't

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 1>you worry about that? Yeah? I love blue cheese. Um,

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 1>that's a hard one to give up. And I brata

0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:24.520
<v Speaker 1>to the soft. I love baratta and I remember um

0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:26.599
<v Speaker 1>at the restaurant when I was when I was pregning

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 1>with Seby, I wanted barata and I would ask the

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:36.280
<v Speaker 1>waiters is this pasteurized right right? And they would say yes,

0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 1>and I would say, okay, barata please. So definitely more

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 1>about that later. Did you have any aversions? Well, Lennox,

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.200
<v Speaker 1>sour dough bread. The day I found out I was pregnant,

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 1>I went to Um Cheesecake factory with my girlfriend and

0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 1>the smell and like the look of sour dough bread

0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 1>made me like disgusted. That's interesting with Lennox, I want

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 1>it nothing to do with beef. With Sebastian, I wanted

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:11.039
<v Speaker 1>nothing to do with chicken. Uh, And I liked beef

0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 1>with Seby. But it's ironic because the one thing that

0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Seby doesn't like is burgers is beef, so the letox

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:22.600
<v Speaker 1>doesn't like chicken. So I did create a lot of

0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 1>muffins when I was breaking with flegs. I ate like

0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:28.640
<v Speaker 1>a I ate pack some muffins every single day. Those

0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:32.880
<v Speaker 1>who love muffins love muffins with like with the dried fruit.

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, she goes, They're so good, They're so

0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 1>They're like zen Bakery. They were the best thing that

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>ever happened to me. I would eat them all day long.

0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:43.480
<v Speaker 1>But I would add cottage cheese on the side, crocaine

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 1>bit um more nutritionally valuable. Yes, good idea. You know

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.480
<v Speaker 1>it's funny because Mom's asked me all the time what

0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>they should eat when they were expecting, and of course

0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.160
<v Speaker 1>I did write a book about it. But eating healthy

0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.920
<v Speaker 1>during pregnancy, I think a lot of people don't realize

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 1>is not different that different anyway from eating healthy at

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 1>any other time in your life. So it's it's basically

0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 1>all the usual suspects, no surprises, lean protein, low fat, dairy,

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 1>whole grains, healthy fats, fresh fruits and vegetables. And you

0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 1>know moms will say, okay, so witch fruits and vegetables

0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:24.600
<v Speaker 1>should I eat? Just go for rainbow of colors, not

0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.719
<v Speaker 1>fruit loops like those don't count. That rainbow doesn't count.

0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 1>But anything from purple sweet potatoes to blueberries, strawberries, watermelon, peaches, broccoli, melon,

0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:44.279
<v Speaker 1>anything that has a deep color inside is extra nutritious. Okay.

0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 1>So let's take a quick break, and when week come back,

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm answering the biggest questions you have about what you

0:06:50.880 --> 0:07:08.440
<v Speaker 1>can eat and drink when you're pregnant. Okay, mom, let's

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:12.680
<v Speaker 1>break down the biggest questions our listeners have about what

0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:16.680
<v Speaker 1>they can really eat and drink while pregnant. First, I

0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.520
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about booze. I hear doctors encourage women

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:21.920
<v Speaker 1>in Europe to have a glass of wine to relax

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:28.240
<v Speaker 1>while pregnant. What's dangerous and what's not? Okay, So don't

0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.080
<v Speaker 1>shoot the messenger here. And I happened to be a

0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:34.560
<v Speaker 1>messenger who enjoys delivering herself a glass of wine. But

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 1>the message from a COG, and from the c d C,

0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 1>and from the Surgeon General, and from just about all

0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:44.560
<v Speaker 1>medical experts in the US is no amount of alcohol

0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:48.240
<v Speaker 1>is a safe amount of alcohol when you're pregnant, and

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, chances are that sipper two and I have

0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 1>to admit I did have plenty of SIPs before I

0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:58.440
<v Speaker 1>found out I was pregnant with you comforting, but that

0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:02.320
<v Speaker 1>would not be harmful to obey, especially when it's taken slowly,

0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:04.840
<v Speaker 1>with you know, during the course of a leisurely meal,

0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.000
<v Speaker 1>which is how they do it in Europe. I mean here,

0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 1>we just you know, gulp down some pretzels and then

0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:13.120
<v Speaker 1>gulp down a glass of wine. But also because one

0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:18.120
<v Speaker 1>mom sip is another mom's goldfish bowl, because if you've

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.880
<v Speaker 1>ever seen wine glasses in the US, they are super gigantic,

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:24.680
<v Speaker 1>And because those SIPs for some moms can be a

0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.800
<v Speaker 1>slippery slope, you know, one sip leads to another sip.

0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.920
<v Speaker 1>So because those definitions are really tough, and because some

0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:34.440
<v Speaker 1>moms might be more vulnerable than other moms, and because

0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:38.880
<v Speaker 1>some fetuses might be more vulnerable than other fetuses, it's

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:42.680
<v Speaker 1>really best to play it safe and take a pregnant pass.

0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Because there's no known safe limit when it comes to alcohol. Okay,

0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:49.719
<v Speaker 1>what about booze and few sauces and salad dressing like

0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:55.320
<v Speaker 1>wine glazed salmon or whatever. Alcohol does cook off, just

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:58.200
<v Speaker 1>not as quickly as you might think, so it can

0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:01.480
<v Speaker 1>take literally hours of cooking to get the job done

0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.719
<v Speaker 1>and get all the alcohol to evaporate. The good news is,

0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 1>if you're not sipping like cups of sauce sauced up sauce,

0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:13.120
<v Speaker 1>or guzzling that vodka sauce or that beer braise, and

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.680
<v Speaker 1>you're not drinking shots of white wine vinaigrette, you won't

0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 1>be ingesting enough to make a difference and to hurt

0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.559
<v Speaker 1>your baby. You know, you would want to stay away

0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.560
<v Speaker 1>from anything that's been sitting in alcohol, like you know,

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.960
<v Speaker 1>those brandy cherries. But otherwise you're good. Okay, So what

0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:31.720
<v Speaker 1>about caesar salad and the other dressings that are made

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:35.080
<v Speaker 1>with eggs. So here's the bad news. Eggs that aren't

0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:38.079
<v Speaker 1>cooked well, like the raw eggs in a traditional caesar

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 1>salad dressing or in homemade mayo, they might be contaminated

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:46.480
<v Speaker 1>with salmonilla and that can make a pregnant woman super sick.

0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Here's the good news. Though most commercially prepared Caesar dressing

0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:54.680
<v Speaker 1>and other mayo based dressings are made with pasteurized eggs,

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.080
<v Speaker 1>which are safe to eat even when they're not cooked.

0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.080
<v Speaker 1>Shelf stable dressing those are the ones you pull it

0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:02.680
<v Speaker 1>off the shelf. There are always a safe bet, even

0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.440
<v Speaker 1>if it's a seizer dressing, even if it contains eggs.

0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Most refrigerated ones that you find in the produced apartment

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.560
<v Speaker 1>are probably also pasteurized. But just in case, you know,

0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:15.760
<v Speaker 1>read the label and you know if you're in a restaurant,

0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:20.440
<v Speaker 1>some use pasteurized eggs and their Caesar dressing, others do not,

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.679
<v Speaker 1>So one in doubt, check with the chef, and if

0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 1>you can't get a really straight answer up for the vinaigrette.

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.400
<v Speaker 1>And now here's a cheat that you can try at

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:33.560
<v Speaker 1>home that I do all the time, which is, instead

0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:37.360
<v Speaker 1>of the raw eggs and the oil in season dressing,

0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:42.480
<v Speaker 1>I just substitute mayo commercially bought mayo, and that thickens

0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:45.439
<v Speaker 1>it up without any of the risks. And if you

0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:48.080
<v Speaker 1>add a lot of harm in anchovies, you'll never know

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 1>the difference. What about eating poached eggs, So it's best

0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:55.440
<v Speaker 1>to take a rain check on running eggs when you're

0:10:55.480 --> 0:11:00.480
<v Speaker 1>pregnant again. Pasteurized eggs are safe even if they're running um.

0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:04.160
<v Speaker 1>You also want to pause on raw egg based desserts

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:09.280
<v Speaker 1>like moose that's raw eggs whipped up unless you're positive

0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:13.480
<v Speaker 1>that all the eggs in your basket are pasteurized. What's

0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:17.640
<v Speaker 1>the cold, hard truth about cold cuts? I remember crying

0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.360
<v Speaker 1>calling you from Sea World when I was pregnant with Lennox.

0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:24.160
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh, they have is cold cuts. I know.

0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:28.679
<v Speaker 1>I cannot tell you how many moms have told me

0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:32.240
<v Speaker 1>that they suddenly crave subway sandwiches as soon as they

0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 1>become pregnant. And that's a really cruel irony. There are

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.640
<v Speaker 1>many cruel ironies and pregnancy, but that's among them. Since

0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:43.520
<v Speaker 1>cold cold cuts can be contaminated with a bacteria that

0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:48.760
<v Speaker 1>can cause listeriosis, and that's a rare infection. It's a

0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:52.640
<v Speaker 1>food born infection. It's rare, but it's way way more

0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:56.240
<v Speaker 1>common in pregnant women, and it can cause serious harm

0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.760
<v Speaker 1>to a developing baby. So any ready to eat me

0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:06.319
<v Speaker 1>smoked turkey, salami, deli, roast beef, bologny hot dogs can

0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:10.160
<v Speaker 1>be contaminated with lissyria. The same for cold smoked salmon.

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Now happy news is that cooking destroys the bacteria. But

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:20.360
<v Speaker 1>that means heating the cold cuts until they're steaming hot. Yum.

0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Not I'm not pregnant and I'm gonna puke. But if

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.920
<v Speaker 1>you crave a Deli sandwich, all you have to do

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:31.680
<v Speaker 1>is make sure that they use fresh roasted turkey. Or

0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:34.240
<v Speaker 1>you can always order a panini because that keeps the

0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.800
<v Speaker 1>meat through. That sounds good, although I would love a

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:40.600
<v Speaker 1>subway sandwich right now, like an Italian. That sounds really good. Okay,

0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.520
<v Speaker 1>do we have to say sinara to sushi? Or can

0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:47.920
<v Speaker 1>we eat fish while pregnant? Well, you know, you can

0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.440
<v Speaker 1>belly up to the sushi bar, but only if you're

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:54.640
<v Speaker 1>ordering up cooked fish and seafood. Or you can also

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:58.240
<v Speaker 1>have veggie rolls. That's because raw or rare fish, even

0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.319
<v Speaker 1>that poque that delica just poquet, or this is a

0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:05.720
<v Speaker 1>VH that's been pickling in lime juice or doused liberally

0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:09.040
<v Speaker 1>with hot sauce, or that seared salmon or that fish

0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:13.320
<v Speaker 1>tartar can make you sick. And pregnant women are more

0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:17.840
<v Speaker 1>susceptible to getting sick and getting seriously sick from food

0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:22.079
<v Speaker 1>poisoning and possibly even hospitalized, and that's something you definitely

0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:26.080
<v Speaker 1>definitely want to avoid. This is really important point. It's

0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:31.200
<v Speaker 1>not the raw fish that harms the baby directly. I

0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 1>think a lot of moms assume that it causes birth

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.640
<v Speaker 1>effects or something to eat raw fish, but that's not true.

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:41.360
<v Speaker 1>It can harm you and indirectly be harmful for the

0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:43.880
<v Speaker 1>baby because you're sick. Fish and seafood are a good

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.720
<v Speaker 1>source of lean protein and omega three, so it is

0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:50.160
<v Speaker 1>smart to go fish. Just stay away from high mercury

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:54.320
<v Speaker 1>fish like swordfish, fresh big eyed tuna, steaks, shark. And

0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:57.680
<v Speaker 1>that goes for whether it's cooked or it's uncooked off

0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:01.559
<v Speaker 1>the table. What about me eat? Do I really have

0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.360
<v Speaker 1>to eat it well done? Even like a good hearty

0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:08.320
<v Speaker 1>steak has to be well done. Yeah yeah, I mean

0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:10.240
<v Speaker 1>gray may not make your day when it comes to

0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:13.960
<v Speaker 1>hamburgers and steak, but not for mosmans. And sadly, rare

0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:17.160
<v Speaker 1>or raw meet can contain bacteria that can also make

0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:20.240
<v Speaker 1>you sick, and especially sick when you're pregnant. So I

0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:23.360
<v Speaker 1>hate to say it, but make it medium to medium

0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:26.520
<v Speaker 1>well well, even if it means asking the chef to

0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:29.120
<v Speaker 1>butterfly that beautiful full light because you're pregnant, you can

0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:32.480
<v Speaker 1>get away with it. I butterfly my steaks and I'm

0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.320
<v Speaker 1>not pregnant, so if I can ask, pregnant women can

0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:39.800
<v Speaker 1>do anything they want. What's the difference between hard and

0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:44.200
<v Speaker 1>soft cheeses when you're pregnant. Well, actually, any cheese is

0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:46.880
<v Speaker 1>a good cheese if it's a pasteurised cheese, which means

0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:52.400
<v Speaker 1>any lurking bacteria, especially listeria, has been destroyed, and that

0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:55.200
<v Speaker 1>makes the cheese safe to eat. So you might have

0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:58.720
<v Speaker 1>heard that soft cheese is always risky and you've made

0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:00.960
<v Speaker 1>it a habit to stay away for I'm all soft cheese,

0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:04.120
<v Speaker 1>but not so if it's marked pasteurized, and a lot

0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:05.960
<v Speaker 1>of cheese that's sold in the US and made in

0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:09.840
<v Speaker 1>the US is pasteurized. Be a label reader. It's a

0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:12.760
<v Speaker 1>good habit to be in any way, But avoid any

0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:16.680
<v Speaker 1>cheese that says raw or if it's not marked pasteurized,

0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.240
<v Speaker 1>especially if you're gonna eat that peto or that case.

0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:23.480
<v Speaker 1>So now if you're not sure, either skip it or

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.040
<v Speaker 1>heat it before you eat it, and that means getting

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:29.760
<v Speaker 1>your bris extra bubbling and then you're good to go

0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.479
<v Speaker 1>at it. Now, when it comes to hard cheese, like parmesan.

0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:37.600
<v Speaker 1>It's probably still safe even if the cheese is not pasteurized.

0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:41.080
<v Speaker 1>But when you can, what's the harm in choosing pasteurized? Right?

0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:45.560
<v Speaker 1>What about blue cheese dressing, my favorite dressing. Tell me

0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:49.120
<v Speaker 1>this is okay, okay, So most blue cheese is pasteurized

0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:51.080
<v Speaker 1>in the US, which means you won't have to eat

0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:55.840
<v Speaker 1>your blue cheese dressing piping hot as that sound. Just

0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:59.680
<v Speaker 1>just make sure that you choose shelf stable blue cheese dressing,

0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.520
<v Speaker 1>or make sure it's more pasteurized. Or you can make

0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:05.520
<v Speaker 1>your own using pasteurized blue cheese and some butter milk

0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:08.880
<v Speaker 1>and yummy um. But when endowed, like say you're in

0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:11.480
<v Speaker 1>a restaurant, you can't be sure that the waiters actually

0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:14.240
<v Speaker 1>being upfront with you. Then just opped out of the

0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:17.920
<v Speaker 1>blue cheese. That's how the blue cheese crumbles. I feel

0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:23.080
<v Speaker 1>like the keyword here is pasteurized, pasteurized, and that goes

0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:25.480
<v Speaker 1>and actually that goes for juice to a lot of

0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:27.440
<v Speaker 1>people don't realize when you go to a juice bar,

0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.960
<v Speaker 1>not such a great idea or buying those raw juices

0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:34.600
<v Speaker 1>that you can find, like say it, whole foods. All

0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:39.240
<v Speaker 1>juice should also be pasteurized. So there are other foods

0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.280
<v Speaker 1>that can be contaminated with bacteria, and that would be

0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:48.560
<v Speaker 1>in case you're into it. Wheat grass and I'll falfa sprouts. Really,

0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:51.400
<v Speaker 1>no sprouts for your little sprout. Finally, what I know

0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:55.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of moms stress about peanuts and honey, So

0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:59.400
<v Speaker 1>what's the real deal. Actually, you can and should bring

0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:03.120
<v Speaker 1>on the peanut for you little peanut. Pregnant moms used

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:06.800
<v Speaker 1>to be told to skip the skippy and to avoid

0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.600
<v Speaker 1>allergies and their babies, and now the reverse has actually

0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:11.960
<v Speaker 1>been shown, So moms who eat peanuts and nuts during

0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:15.159
<v Speaker 1>pregnancy are in fact less likely to have a baby

0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:19.120
<v Speaker 1>who ultimately develops a peanut allergy. So check with your

0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.639
<v Speaker 1>doctor if you have food allergies, and of course, don't

0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:25.880
<v Speaker 1>eat anything that you're allergic to, even if it's really

0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:28.120
<v Speaker 1>good for your baby, because the last thing you're gonna

0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.760
<v Speaker 1>want is an allergic reaction. As for honey, you may

0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:35.240
<v Speaker 1>have also heard that babies should never have honey. Well,

0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:38.160
<v Speaker 1>but that warning only holds true for babies who are

0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:42.040
<v Speaker 1>already born, so not the ones that are safely ensconced

0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:45.119
<v Speaker 1>in your uterus. So once the baby is born, no

0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:49.120
<v Speaker 1>honey until their first birthday. Alright, guys, well, I hope

0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:51.640
<v Speaker 1>you learned a lot today and I hope you had fun.

0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:54.440
<v Speaker 1>And remember I'm still fun even if I don't drink. You, guys,

0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:56.240
<v Speaker 1>I will still come to your party and dance on

0:17:56.240 --> 0:18:01.119
