Morning sickness May be caused by foods toxic to fetus doctor says san Francisco apr morning sickness the nausea vomiting and Overall blah feeling that strikes Many pregnant women in their first trimester May be nature s Way of protecting embryos from toxic foods according to a study. Morning sickness works like an alarm against toxins to help embryos survive said Margie Profet a University of California at Berkeley biologist who wrote the study. At least one scientist was sceptical of the theory but another said it had prompted needed discussion about morning sickness. Profet spent six years exploring the theory which she based on earlier research on birth defects dietary changes during Early pregnancy food aversions and Plant toxins. Her findings Are part of a Book the adapted mind being published this month by Oxford University press. She found that foods that make pregnant women nauseated to the Point of vomiting Are potentially dangerous to the embryo. Those include some vegetables with Strong tastes and smells and Fried grilled or spoiled meat. Morning sickness usually begins after the second week of pregnancy and ends around the eighth week. During that stage the embryo is most vulnerable because it has not yet developed defences against toxins according to Profet. The mothers body responds by secreting hormones that Sharpen her brains ability to sense toxic foods Profet said. Some pregnant women become hypersensitive to foods with bitter or pungent doors which she sat a suggest a level of toxicity that could be harmful to an embryo. Thus a hot dog smothered with Mustard and onions is enough to make some pregnant women want to flee t s the Best theory that we have. Anyone who has any better ideas lets hear them. The message is that women listen to their bodies or. Dean Edell Profet said. Although pregnancy sickness varies from woman to woman More than 75 percent in their first trimester experience nausea and virtually All experience some symptoms of food aversion Profet said. More than half of pregnant women vomit at some Point and experience food aversions. Or. Russel Laros vice chairman of the University of California san Francisco a department of obstetrics and gynaecology was sceptical about the theory. In some doomed pregnancies where placental fluid forms without fetal development women still get morning sickness a indicating that there is no link Between certain foods and a need to protect the embryo he said. But or. Dean Edell a surgeon who is the Host of a san Francisco Bay area radio talk show on medical issues said Profett a study supports the widely accepted idea that every bodily function serves a purpose. A a it a the Best theory that we have a Edell said. A anyone who has any better ideas lets hear them. The message is that women listen to their
