Pregnant women should try to eat natural food. Pregnant women can eat cakes. Cake contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, and has high nutritional value. But pregnant women should eat cakes in moderation and must be able to eat more. Because of its high energy content, cakes have the problems of trans fats, pigments, flavors and other food additives. Cake contains not only a lot of sugar, but also a lot of fat and energy. Long-term intake of large amounts will not only lead to excessive weight gain, but also increase the risk of some pregnancy complications. Nowadays, almost all cream cakes are made of hydrogenated vegetable oil. The danger of hydrogenated vegetable oil is that it contains trans fatty acids and is synthetic.
The fat produced in nature is cis-form, and the trans structure is more stable than cis-form, so it is not easy to be destroyed. Trans fatty acids will greatly increase the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which is one of the important causes of Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, it is advocated to eat less trans fatty acids and use a lot of additives in cake making, including emulsifier, ghee and baking powder. It is harmful to the development of fetal cardiovascular system and nervous system. Therefore, although pregnant women can eat cakes, they must not eat more.
Secondly, the high sugar content of birthday cake may induce hyperglycemia and gestational diabetes, or hyperlipidemia and hypertension, and may also cause obesity. Therefore, it is generally not recommended for pregnant women to eat birthday cakes, so as not to have a bad influence on the unborn baby. But if pregnant women really want to eat, they should choose those birthday cakes with less cream, eat them in moderation and don't eat too much.
