What is scientific reason behind not having sour fruits during periods?

Tragically, menstruation still remains a taboo even among educated folks. For ages, a Dadi, Nani, or other “elder" relative in a traditional Indian home has forbade menstruating women from visiting the kitchen or the temple, blaming their “impurity." As a result, we grow up believing that menstruation is filthy and continue to believe this and other myths. One of these unfounded misconceptions is about sour food.

@ashma Many people seem to believe this myth, yet there is no scientific proof that sour foods are harmful to women’s health when they are on their cycle. There is no specific meal that a menstruating lady should avoid. Indeed, these are the times when you must eat nutritious meals, sour or not. This is due to the blood loss that occurs during menstruation, which might make you feel weak.
