Note for Pregnant Women: From the Singing Canary Recipe
Turmeric is considered safe during pregnancy when consumed as a food. There is some concern that it may possibly stimulate the uterus to cause contractions when used as a supplement however ginger has similar properties and concerns and it is often suggested by doctor’s to treat morning sickness for pregnant women. It is common for 3 teaspoons of turmeric to be suggested as supplement dosage. We think the 1 teaspoon in the Canary is a safer dose for pregnant women as that is the amount that people in India consume on average through food. But, we are not doctors.
Each pregnant mama should consult the advice of her physician. If concerned, pregnant women can always reduce the amount of both Turmeric and Vitamin C to 1/4 dose or not drink the full two quarts per day just to stay on the cautious side. The full dose of vitamin C is not recommended for pregnant women.
