Potatoes contain a toxin called solanine, and solanine is concentrated in the sprouting, green and ulcerated parts. Some people have determined that the content of solanine in every kilogram of potato sprouts can be as high as 5200 mg, which is 60 to 65 times higher than that in potato cubes.

　　Solanine has a hemolytic effect after being absorbed into the blood. It can also paralyze the movement and respiratory centers, irritate the gastric mucosa, and eventually lead to death due to paralysis of the respiratory center. In addition, the structure of solanin is similar to human steroid hormones such as androgens, estrogen, progesterone and other sex hormones. If pregnant women eat large amounts of potatoes containing high alkaloids for a long time, the accumulation of alkaloids in the body will produce teratogenic effects. Some people speculate that pregnant women with a certain genetic tendency and sensitivity to alkaloids may give birth to deformed babies if they eat 44.2 to 252 grams of potatoes. Moreover, the alkaloids in potatoes cannot be reduced by conventional cooking such as soaking in water, steaming, and boiling. In view of this, it is better for pregnant women not to eat or to eat less potatoes. 》》》 Pregnant woman appears7Be careful with these symptoms
