However, pregnant women cannot eat glutinous rice. Why is this? Why can't pregnant women eat glutinous rice: Glutinous rice is a kind of medicine and food homology. Pharmacological experiments have shown that Yiyiren has excitatory effects on uterine smooth muscle, which can promote uterine contraction and thus may induce miscarriage.
