Hi folks,

I love bananas & watermelon. But My mum has told me that I should refrain from eating any bananas or watermelon during the 9 months of pregnancy. She said that bananas contain a high concentration of some minerals. Watermelon has too much of a cooling effect on the body and would upset the Ying & Yang equilibrium. She mentioned this "advice" has been handed down many Chinese generations.

I googled bananas and watermelon on the web but could not find any substantiating evidence to support her claim.

Has anybody heard of this myth?
