A person from the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Consumer Rights Protection Committee revealed to reporters that there are 6 common "mistaken" food pairings that can easily cause various diseases in the human body. Pairing seafood with beer can easily induce gout.
Seafood contains two components: purine and nucleotide, while beer is rich in vitamin B1, an important catalyst that breaks down these two components. If you eat seafood and drink beer at the same time, it will promote the combination of harmful substances in the body, increase the uric acid content in the blood, and thus form urinary stones that are difficult to excrete. If your own metabolism is problematic, eating seafood while drinking beer can easily lead to a sharp increase in uric acid levels in the blood, inducing gout, and even leading to gouty nephropathy, gouty arthritis, etc. Pairing ham with lactic acid drinks can easily cause cancer.
People who often eat sandwiches with yogurt for breakfast should be cautious. The ham, bacon, etc. in sandwiches contain organic acids, which can easily become carcinogenic when eaten with lactic acid drinks. To preserve sausages, ham, bacon, cured meat, etc., some food manufacturers add nitrates to prevent food spoilage and the growth of botulinum. When nitrates are paired with organic acids, they turn into a carcinogen—nitrosamine. Mixing radishes with oranges can easily induce goiter.
If you eat radishes while consuming large amounts of fruits like oranges, apples, and grapes, the flavonoids in the fruits are decomposed by bacteria in the intestines and then converted into thiocyanate, which inhibits thyroid function, thereby inducing goiter. Eating eggs with soy milk reduces protein absorption.
Raw soy milk contains trypsin inhibitors, which can inhibit the activity of human proteases, affecting the digestion and absorption of protein in the human body. The egg white in eggs contains viscous protein, which can bind with the trypsin in soy milk, hindering protein decomposition and thus reducing the human body's absorption rate of protein. Pairing milk with chocolate can easily cause diarrhea.
Milk is rich in protein and calcium, and chocolate contains oxalic acid. When eaten together, the calcium in milk will combine with the oxalic acid in chocolate to form insoluble calcium oxalate. After consumption, it will not be absorbed and can cause symptoms such as diarrhea and dry hair, thereby affecting growth and development. Eating fruits while eating seafood is not easy to digest.
If you eat fruits like grapes, hawthorn, pomegranates, and persimmons while eating seafood, symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal bloating, and diarrhea will appear. This is because these fruits contain tannic acid. When tannic acid encounters the protein in seafood, it will precipitate and coagulate, forming a substance that is not easily digested. After eating seafood, you should usually wait more than 4 hours before eating these fruits.
