“What foods should I avoid during my pregnancy?”
I am 14 weeks pregnant and I want to make sure that I'm going to have a healthy and safe pregnancy. Are there any foods that I should avoid?

It is difficult to list any or all foods one should "avoid" during pregnancy. Limited information emphasized certain foods such as TUNA fish be limited to 12 oz a week. Undercooked meat is worth avoiding due to potential parasite ingestion. That said, a well-balanced meal of PROTEIN, COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATEs AND FIBER, UNSATURATED FATS, AND OILS, should make up much of your diet.

We recommend avoiding all raw meats and seafood, all large ocean fish (i.e., large tuna, swordfish, sole, etc.) even if cooked. Additionally, I recommend washing all vegetables, even if pre-washed.
