103 children dead?

After the summer, the market to sell lychees also more up.

The moment you peel off the lychee, the crystal clear white flesh suddenly burst out, the fragrance of the nose. A mouth into the mouth, lychee sweet juice exploded in the mouth, too cool!

No wonder there will be "a ride on the red dust, no one knows that the lychee to" such a situation.

However, I am here today to throw cold water on everyone: lychees are good, but you can not eat with abandon.

Especially families with children, pay extra attention!

In the past few years, there are many children died because of "lychee disease", and eat a minor problems, it is more.

This time last year, 103 children died in India, the well-known medical journal "The Lancet" researchers, as well as the Indian Ministry of Health officials, are inclined to the cause of their deaths is the consumption of too much lychee, which caused encephalitis.

Lychee is so terrible? The sweetness of it is comparable to poison.

Well, do not rush to throw away the lychee in your hand, listen to me carefully tell you.

What we call "lychee disease", generally refers to a time or continuous consumption of excessive lychee and causes coma, hypoglycemia, and other phenomena, also known as "hypoglycemia".

Wait, many people hear here will wonder, lychee is not very sweet, and how to eat will also be hypoglycemic?

According to research, there may be two reasons.

One is because the fructose content of lychee is relatively high, reaching about 16%: When the body is in a fasting situation, the body will not be able to eat.

When the body is in a fasting situation, blood sugar will be at a lower level. Suddenly eating a lot of lychees, a lot of fructose into the body will stimulate the pancreatic B cells to secrete a lot of insulin (insulin is responsible for transporting glucose from the blood into the cells).

And the sudden rise of insulin will make the liver misunderstand that the body's blood sugar is too high, and quickly turn on the hypoglycemic mode (accelerating the application of glucose and inhibiting the production of glucose), so that the body, which already has low blood sugar, enters a state of severe blood sugar deficiency ......

Second, in the lychee, there are two toxins, hypoglycin A and MCPG

These two toxins are high in the immature lychee, resulting in insufficient glucose production in the body, prone to acute hypoglycemia and fulminant encephalopathy.

Therefore, "lychee disease" is highly prevalent in people who eat lychee on an empty stomach, or in large quantities without restraint.

"Lychee disease" general performance head for dizziness, sweating, pale, weakness, drowsiness, palpitations, cold limbs, and other symptoms.

Individual serious patients will appear arrhythmia, consciousness, convulsions, and convulsions, if not treated in time, and even be life-threatening.

Children because the liver glycogen reserves themselves are insufficient, a large number of lychee after eating hypoglycemia can easily occur.

In the past few years, the proportion of children who have lychee disease is also a lot of patients.

It is also important to note that there is a potential risk of choking in children of younger ages who eat lychees.

Pregnant women should consume no more than 200 grams a day.

Because lychee is too sweet, eating too much can cause high blood sugar, and even sugar metabolism can be disrupted. The consequence that arises is that it greatly increases the risk of obstructed labor.

Note that pregnant mothers with gestational diabetes are prohibited to eat.

Hypoglycemic patients themselves have low blood sugar, and then a lot of lychee consumption, more likely to occur hypoglycemia.

Diabetic patients, not to mention lychee with such a high sugar content are naturally recommended to stay away.

Traffic police have done experiments, eating lychee immediately after the breath alcohol content test, and the reading shown can indeed reach the DUI standard.

This is because when the lychee is picked from the tree, photosynthesis is reduced, and the internal cells of the lychee will lack oxygen, which will increase the rate of anaerobic respiration, leading to an increase in its rate of ethanol production.

We eat lychee in the process, many enzymes in the mouth will break down the sugar of the lychee, break down the alcohol, and ferment rapidly in the mouth.

However, as long as a little rest after eating lychee, the alcohol will dissipate.

However, do not want to oolong, driving when it is best not to eat lychee la.

There are also some tips on the consumption of lychee, it is recommended that you collect the spare: 1.

1. eat ripe lychee.

2. do not eat lychees on an empty stomach, when long hungry.

3. preferably eaten half an hour after a meal.

4. Suffering from tonsillitis, laryngitis, and constipation patients should be careful to eat.

5. eat lychee at the same time, you can drink some light salt water.

Do these points, you can enjoy the freshness of lychee Oh ~
