In fact, pregnant women can drink white tea, but when drinking tea, they must be moderate and not drink too much! There are many ingredients in tea, including calcium, phosphorus, iron, fluorine, iodine, manganese, molybdenum, zinc, selenium, copper, germanium, magnesium and other minerals.

Excessive caffeine intake will increase fetal movement and even endanger the growth and development of the fetus.

In addition, tea also contains a lot of tannic acid, which can combine with iron in pregnant women's food to form compounds that cannot be absorbed by the human body. If pregnant women drink too much strong tea, it may cause anemia, and it will also cause hidden dangers of congenital iron deficiency anemia to the fetus.
