Answer 1

Papaya contains a latex and the main constituents of this latex is are papain and chymopapain which have teratogenic (abnormalities of physiological development) and abortionist (Can induce an abortion) effects . It does this by increasing the chances of uterine contractions as the papain acts like prostaglandin and oxytocin which puts the mothers body into labour leading to abortion.
