  9. Good thing I am not pregnant I only got 5 right. Plus it has been 20 years since I lived with a pregnant person.

    Ice Cream was the primary driver for the last pregnancy!

  17. Nice quiz, Ellie. I got 8 right. Our knowledge continues to evolve. I remember when organ meat was recommended on a daily basis to pregnant women. No doubt, some of our current views will change in time too 🙂

        • That too, but since it cleans toxins out of the body, some of these toxins can go to the baby. I didn’t explain it very well, lol. In general, if the woman has been drinking kombucha for a long time before pregnancy, a small amount probably won’t be that bad. However, it’s definitely not the right time to start drinking it for the first time while pregnant or breastfeeding. Thanks for playing the quiz! 🙂

    • Thank you very much! A little bit of kombucha should be fine if the woman has already been drinking it regularly before pregnancy, but it’s good to be careful.
