Effects of mala

Hi i am husband of 22 weeks pregnant wife. Recently my wife kept craving for chong qing grilled fish but we read that the mala seed is containing some kind of toxins that is not good for the baby. But she couldn't resist temptation so we ended up eating it and her stomach doesn't feel good. She felt extremely guilty and keeps crying about it for days no matter how i tried to console her. Is there anything i can do as a husband? Or does anyone have any advice on the effects of mala to the baby?

I ate mala before I knew I was pregnant and continue doing so throughout 2nd trimester w/o any issue. baby growing well and not affected at all. it may have been too spicy, which cause her tummy to feel uneasy. eating in moderation is fine. no need to feel guilty. do note taking spicy or oily food may also cause heartburn for some.
