Food is moldy. Can you eat it where there is no mold? 10 Diet Taboos to Pay Attention to

Food is the most important thing for the people, and they cannot be careless in eating and drinking.

However, there are many common poisons around us. If we don’t pay attention to them, we will easily eat them wrong and even die.

How to eat safely and healthily, the following ten dietary taboos must be careful.

Mouldy food cannot be eaten where it is not moldy.

What we see [moldy] is the part where the mycelium of mold has fully developed and formed, while in the nearby places where there is no [long hair], there are already many mold invisible to the naked eye.

In addition, toxins produced by mold will spread in food-the scope of spread is related to the texture, water content and severity of mildew of food.

Therefore, moldy food, where there is no moldy, may have been contaminated by mold and toxins and cannot be identified by eyes. The safest and most reliable choice is to throw it away!

People with renal insufficiency cannot eat carambola.

There is a toxic component in carambola called carambola toxin. Its molecular structure is like a neurotransmitter, which can produce neurotoxicity and can be seriously fatal.

Normal people’s kidneys have good metabolic function and can excrete this water-soluble substance into urine, so there is no problem. However, people suffering from some kidney diseases cannot excrete this toxin in time, which will lead to poisoning and are prone to hiccup, nausea, vomiting, limb numbness, consciousness disorder, epilepsy, coma and other symptoms.

Although carambola is delicious, people with poor kidneys should not eat it.

Children under one year old cannot eat honey.

Honey may contain botulinum spores, which can pose a fatal threat to babies.

For babies under 1 year old, the intestinal flora is still immature, and the risk of Clostridium botulinum spores multiplying in the intestinal tract of infants and producing botulinum toxin is high, which may lead to poisoning symptoms such as nerve spasm or paralysis in children.

Moreover, botulinum spores have good heat resistance and are difficult to be destroyed by heating.

The most important ingredient of honey is sugar. For babies under one year old, no condiment is added to the supplementary food, and so is honey.

Many fish have poisonous gall and cannot be eaten.

The gall of many fish we eat everyday is poisonous, such as [green, grass, silver carp, bighead carp] four big fish, as well as crucian carp, blunt head bream (Wuchang fish), ilishaeformis ilishaeformis, etc.

These fish gall contains [cyprinol sulfate], which is difficult to remove whether eaten raw, cooked or soaked in wine. For adults, only a few grams of bile may lead to poisoning.

The initial symptoms are similar to eating a bad stomach, and then serious symptoms such as liver and kidney damage, failure, cerebral edema and myocardial injury will gradually occur, eventually leading to death.

Don’t believe the so-called “fish gallbladder can clear away heat and toxic materials, clear liver and improve eyesight” in various folk remedies. If there is a problem with eating, it is too late to regret.

Raw meat, eggs and aquatic products cannot be eaten during pregnancy.

Without being cooked at high temperature, various raw fish, eggs, milk and other products will increase the infection risk of pathogenic bacteria such as Listeria, Salmonella and parasites, and may even lead to abortion, premature delivery and other problems.

Mothers-to-be and their families must ensure that the food is thoroughly cooked:

    Cooked meat should not be cut with blood and the color of gravy should not be red. The yolk should be completely solidified. Soup must be boiled and maintained for at least 1 minute before eating. Pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and fish should be thoroughly cooked.

Diabetes patients, do not drink on an empty stomach

Diabetes patients have poor blood sugar control ability, and fasting drinking is easy to cause hypoglycemia, which is fatal.

Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach will quickly be absorbed into the blood, stimulating islet cells to secrete a large amount of insulin, which will reduce blood sugar. After alcohol enters the liver, it will inhibit glycogenesis and decomposition of liver glycogen, resulting in complete depletion of the limited liver glycogen reserve in the body, resulting in hypoglycemia.

Hypoglycemia can lead to pale complexion, fatigue, palpitations, sweating and even coma. If the treatment is not timely, it is likely to lead to irreversible central nervous system damage and death due to cerebral edema and increased intracranial pressure.

Take cephalosporins and do not drink alcohol.

Cephalosporin antibiotics will have [disulfiram-like reaction] with alcohol, causing facial flushing, dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms, which may be life-threatening in severe cases.

Especially for the elderly, people with hypertension, heart disease or alcohol allergy, the symptoms may be more severe.
