Question

Arun · Answer

Dear student Yes, you have heard rigjt. The type of latex in unripe papaya should be avoided by pregnant women because: It might trigger marked uterine contractions, leading to early labor. It contains papain which your body may mistake for the prostaglandins sometimes used to induce labor.
