Pregnant women should not take flax oil

a friend in order to get a pass, went to listen to the family planning department to run the "eugenics" lecture. The lecture's "experts" recommended a bunch of amazingly sky-scraping health care products. The authorities' "authority" coupled with the recommendation of "experts", parents-to-be were stunned by the scientific terminology, obediently pulling out hundreds of thousands of dollars to take back those "experts" mouth "not to eat" health care products. One of the most outrageous, probably counting flaxic acid.the Internet casually, flax acid advertising spread, its function and Guanyin Yu yu bottle of holy water is not much worse. Among them, there are a large number of unknown sources of "scientific indications", "an organization recommended." And the reference to scientific evidence, there is no shortage of misinterpretation, tampering, and even fabrication.flax acid sold as a health care product generally comes from plants, flax acid refers to the fatty acid parts that make up flax oil. Because oils vary depending on the fatty acids in them, we generally do not distinguish between vegetable oils and fatty acids in our daily lives. Chemically, it has two subsypes. Commonly referred to as alpha flaxic acid (
ALA
), which is marketed, is an omega
3
polyunsaturated fatty acid. There are several

polyunsaturated fatty acids, commonly referred to as
EPA
and
DHA
, which are the main components of fish oil. Over the past few decades,
of
DHA
and
EPA have been studied. Their evidence for human health is also sufficient. However, what is now widely accepted in the academic field is their impact on cardiovascular health.their role in the development of pregnant women and fetuses, there is some research evidence to support this. However, compared with cardiovascular health, it is not sufficient. At present, pregnant women are generally recommended to eat some fish or take some fish oil, and baby milk powder is also
DHA
as an optional ingredient can be added. The main reason is that no adverse effects were found at the usual replenishment levels, and those beneficial effects "may actually exist". And fish oil is not "absolutely safe", too much fish oil may cause blood clotting difficulties, as well as reduce immunity. For mothers, blood clotting difficulties can be detrimental during childbirth. Therefore, even if it is "pure natural" "pollution-free" fish oil, it is not surprising how beneficial. The
for the
and the National Library of Medicine is no more than 3
per
day.alpha linen acid also has a chemical structure of omega
3
, it is speculated that it may also have a similar effect to fish oil. So far, however, there is no reliable and sufficient evidence to support this. So most of the "seemingly scientific" features listed in the ads, in addition to "speculation" being "imagination", are occasionally supported by a little literature, and those studies are only "very preliminary" in the academic field. The significance is only to explain that "this feature may exist and further research is needed to confirm it".fatty acids can be converted in the body. If alpha flaxic acid can be converted into
EPA
and
DHA
, then supplementing it is the same as replenishing fish oil. Theoretically, flaxic acid can indeed be converted into
EPA
and
DHA
through specific bio
. This is also a point often promoted in flax acid marketing, even suggesting that it is the mother of
EPA
and
DHA
, giving the illusion that it is "more effective". In fact, many people have studied the conversion of alpha linen acid into
EPA
and
DHA
, and concluded that the conversion rate is very low, especially the proportion of
DHA
can be ignored.the "health effect" of flaxic acid itself is mirror water month, and the conversion to "health function" scientifically supported
EPA
and
DHA
is very low efficiency, as a "health care product" of the meaning of existence is almost only psychological comfort. To make matters worse, it's hard to say whether it's harmful or not. Testing for such harmful effects can't be done with humans, so we don't know what the adverse consequences of people adding too much alpha linen acid.is not useful to say, there is no harm is not very clear.
a
literature review of fatty acid demand during pregnancy and lactation published in
the
Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism
), published in september
, 2010, concluded that there was no evidence to support the "replenishment of flaxacin in addition to normal diets". The latest summary from
NIH
and the National Library of Medicine in the United States is that it is "probably unsafe" for pregnant women because "taking flax oil during second and third pregnancy may increase the risk of precocian birth", so "pregnant women should avoid flax oil";also cites international organizations" recommendation to consume
1,300
mg
ALA
" per day to demonstrate how necessary it is for every
1,000
mg of alpha linen acid. In fact, even if this "recommended amount" is true, it does not mean the need for "flaxsine health care products". Many vegetable oils contain a considerable amount of alpha linen acid, such as soybean oil has
7-8%
, and mustard seed oil (also translated as "carola oil") also has about
10%
, China's wide range of edible rapeseed oil also has a similar content. In other words, if a person eats a dozen grams of these oils a day, it is equivalent to a "health care product". In addition, many leafy green vegetables also contain some flaxic acid. The review in the Yearbook of Nutrition and Metabolism also lists the amount of alpha linen acid that people in many places consume through normal diets, typically more than 1,000 milligrams.
