Eat chili during pregnancy, say scientists—here's why

Newsweek interviewed Xiaozhong Wen about his study on the benefits of consuming chili during pregnancy to reduce risk of gestational diabetes. Wen told Newsweek that the research focused on how eating different types of beans – like chili, dried beans, and bean soup – affects gestational diabetes. "Interestingly, only chili consumption was statistically significantly associated with the risk of gestational diabetes," he said. The article was reposted by dozens of news outlets, including Futurity, across the nation.
