A pregnant tradwife influencer has come under fire for promoting a dangerous trendy drink – which can result in severe illness when consumed.
In a recent video posted to social media, Nara Smith made some chocolate chip cookies from scratch – before she seemingly paired the tasty dessert with a glass of unpasteurized milk.
The 23-year-old – who rose to fame by documenting her lifestyle on social media – was seen making cinnamon roll cookies with her husband, Lucky Smith.
After baking the cookies, the mom-of-three – who is currently pregnant with her forth child – ended the video by trying them.
‘These hit the spot with some cold raw milk,’ the content creator concluded her video, sparking a horrified response from concerned followers.
Many were quick to point out the dangers of consuming raw milk in the comment section, especially because Nara is expecting.
‘Raw milk while pregnant is actually unhinged,’ a shocked user wrote.
Another agreed, writing: ‘Raw milk while pregnant is crazy… why is pasteurization a problem?’

‘Nurse here… do NOT use unpasteurized, raw milk! Dangerous to you, baby and kids!’ urged someone else.
‘Raw milk at any time is absolutely bonkers. Raw milk while you’re pregnant is borderline negligent,’ admonished another.
Pasteurization involves heating raw milk to kill off bacteria that can cause harm, resulting in the safer-to-drink milk lining grocery store shelves.
However raw milk, which as been promoted by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, does not undergo this process and poses a severe health risk as it can be contaminated with dangerous pathogens.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, raw milk is milk from cows, sheep, and goats – or any other animal – that has not been pasteurized to kill harmful germs.
Raw milk can carry dangerous germs such asSalmonella,E. coli, Listeria, Campylobacte, and others that cause food-borne illness, also known as food poisoning.
The federal agency said pregnant women run a serious risk of becoming ill fromListeria, a germoften found in raw milk and can cause miscarriage, or illness, or death of the newborn baby.
‘If you are pregnant, drinking raw milk – or eating foods made from raw milk – can harm your baby even if you don’t feel sick,’ they warned.

The ‘tradwife’ influencer caused controversy in the past, as she was accused of ‘glamorizing’ teen pregnancy in June after she shared news of her latest pregnancy to Instagram and TikTok.
Nara has gained a massive following on social media where she flaunts her ‘tradwife’ (traditional housewife) lifestyle, baking extravagant meals for her family while seeming to effortlessly care for her young children.
She shares Rumble, four, Slim Easy, three, and Whimsy Lou, one, with Lucky, 27 – whom she tied the knot with in 2020.
While talking to Harper’s Bazaar last year, the influencer pushed back on flak over her ‘tradwife’ lifestyle, claiming she doesn’t associate with the label.
She explained that when it comes to the term ‘tradwife,’ she has ‘a really hard time’ understanding what it actually means.
Nara stated that what she posts on social media is ‘really not that deep’ and added that she is simply just ‘a working mom.’
She added, ‘I never know what to say when people ask me [what I do], because technically, yes, I create content. But then I’m just living my life and sharing that with people, which a lot of people do.’
