I love things made with til like some sweets. Recently one of my friend has sent tilkut(a sweet made with til & jaggery) for me. I was going to eat it but my mom said that I should not eat anything with til. Eating til leads to miscarriage. Is this true or its just one more myth...

I was also told my someone that sesame seeds may lead to miscarriage. I just avoided it throughout pregnancy. Will suggest you also to avoid it. Why take an unnecessary risk.

Til produces a lot of heat and is supposed to be a hot food so our elders ask us to avoid it. And mostly hot food is not good for pregnancy.

I have also seen my in laws asking their daughter not to take any sesame products when she was pregnant.

Please do avoid any food that is supposed to be hot. Sesame produces a lot of heat and that is the reason our elders suggest us to avoid it during pregnancy. So, please do so as advised by your elders. WHY TAKE A RISK?

Thanks for your inputs.
I think I should give up my desire to have til sweets Smile
