Pregnancy is a natural process in a woman's body that must be maintained properly. Therefore also women should pay attention to the food consumed. It is often said that eating pineapple can endanger pregnancy. Similarly, papaya, especially young papaya.

 According to research reported by Boldsky, a young papaya is high in papain enzymes. When entering the body, the enzyme papain will activate a hormone called prostaglandin and oxytocin that can induce contractions. This is what will then endanger pregnancy. 

 Still from this study, explained also that papain enzyme contained in papaya can disrupt the production process of hormone progesterone which impact on the growth of endometrium of imperfect uterine wall. So that creates an unhealthy environment for the growing fetus. 

 "Not just papain enzymes are worth watching for, because high concentrations of latex in raw papaya can also cause uterine contractions that harm the fetus," the study said. "Even as written in The British Journal of Nutrition, scientists agree on the harmful effects of green papaya for pregnant women."

 Well, papaya is a healthy fruit. But you have to be careful in choosing it. Do not eat young papaya while pregnant because it can harm your womb.
