Pregnancy
mosaic posted this on another thread. I looked through and didn't see a post just called pregnancy. So I decided to start one and repost this snippet, which seems very important. Please feel free to post anything about pregnancy on this thread.
"Due to the risk of malformations caused by high doses of vitamin A, the British Health Authority warns against vitamin A supplementation during pregnancy and in women of childbearing age, as well as against the consumption of liver during pregnancy.5 According to British data, liver contains an average of 13-39 mg vitamin A per 100 g, corresponding to 44,000-130,000 IU, due to supplementary feeding. In calf's liver, the most heavily contaminated liver, up to 128 mg (equivalent to 420,000 IU) of vitamin A per 100 g was found. As a medicinal product, calf's liver should therefore be subject to prescription starting with a single dose of 2.5 g"
"Daily doses of 7.5-12 mg vitamin A (25,000-40,000 IU) in the first trimester of pregnancy are considered to cause malformations in humans. This dose is reached from 10 g of calf's liver. For infants, 30 mg vitamin A (100,000 IU; from 25 g calf's liver) already poses a risk of acute intoxication.7"
