Green tea may prevent conception

05.11.2013

Green tea is often recommended for use, because it is a good natural antioxidant.
However, an excessive enthusiasm for this drink can be just as dangerous for health - especially for the health of the woman and the unborn child at the time of conception and gestation of pregnancy.

The fact is that green tea consumed in large quantities interferes with the absorption of folic acid. A lack of folic acid in the body of the mother increases the risk of abnormalities in fetal development.

A number of experts believe that the risk of anomalies during pregnancy occurs, even if the woman is drinking 2-3 cups of green tea a day.

In addition, a large amount of green tea increases the levels of polyphenols in the body, adversely affecting the liver.
