Can Drinking Vinegar Kill an Unborn Baby?
During pregnancy, many common foods and beverages can cause unanticipated problems for the expectant mother or her unborn baby. The American Pregnancy Assocation advises pregnant women to avoid undercooked meats, undercooked eggs, caffeine, soft cheeses, raw shellfish and many potentially hazardous seafood dishes. Common vinegar, also known as acetic acid, is nontoxic and ultimately harmless during pregnancy. There are no known risks associated with drinking vinegar at any stage of pregnancy, and it may even offer health benefits to the expectant mother.
