A member asked:
Pregnant and found out the ice cream i have been eating for the past two months (1-1.5 cups/day) has peppermint extract (with trace of alcohol) - ok?

Not a problem: The amount of alcohol in the peppermint extract is teeny-not even the amount in a sip of wine. Enjoy your ice cream!

Peppermint extract: Please read this article: http://www.livestrong.com/article/158249-peppermint-oil-pregnancy.BreastCancer.org recommends against rubbing peppermint oil on your skin if you are pregnant. " "Medline Plus recommends avoiding any form of peppermint oil if you are pregnant."
