What exactly is “lychee disease”?
What are the symptoms?
“Lychee disease”
Lychee itself is not harmful to the human body. The so-called “lychee disease” refers to symptoms similar to hypoglycemia after eating a large amount of fresh lychees at one time. Delayed first aid can also lead to death.
Recent studies suggest that two substances in lychee, hypoglycine A and methylenecyclopropylglycine, can inhibit the metabolic transformation of sugar, resulting in acute lychee poisoning. These two toxins are found in high levels in immature lychees and need special attention.
Who is susceptible to “Lychee Disease”?
Experts introduced that the majority of the “litchi disease” are children. Children aged 4-11 are prone to “lychee disease” from excessive consumption of lychees. Children should pay special attention to eating lychees.
The high sugar content of lychee will stimulate the increase of insulin in the body, and insulin is hypoglycemic. When the human body is on an empty stomach, blood sugar is lower than usual. If a large amount of lychee is eaten, it will further lead to a drop in blood sugar and cause certain damage to the body. Therefore, it is not recommended to eat lychee on an empty stomach.
There are rumors on the Internet that
After eating lychees and driving, you will be found to be drunk and driving
Is it true?
Will I be found for DUI after eating lychee?
How should lychees be eaten?
Experts introduced that lychees have high sugar content, which will cause non-oxidative chemical reactions during packaging and transportation, resulting in the production of alcohol. Enzymes in oral bacteria also stimulate alcohol production after eating lychees.
However, there is an essential difference between “drinking and driving caused by eating lychees” and “real drinking and driving”. Drinking water and gargling after eating lychees can avoid such problems.
So how should lychees be eaten?
Note the following points
Eat fully ripe lychees;
“Appropriate amount” is fundamental. It is generally recommended that adults should not exceed 300 grams of lychees per day, and children should not exceed 5 per day;
Refuse to eat on an empty stomach, do not eat a lot of lychees on an empty stomach and hungry, preferably after meals;
Special groups with diabetes, gout, digestive system diseases and other problems should eat less;
You can take mung bean soup or green tea water in moderation, or soak the shelled lychees in light salt water for an hour before eating.
