Do Not Eat Fruit Without Rinsing Your Mouth
Some fruits contain various fermentable sugars that are highly corrosive to teeth. If you do not rinse your mouth after eating, fruit residue left in the mouth can easily lead to cavities.
Do Not Eat Excessive Amounts of Fruit
Excessive fruit consumption can lead to copper deficiency in the body, which in turn can raise cholesterol levels in the blood and cause coronary heart disease. Therefore, it is not advisable to eat too much fruit in a short period.
Do Not Eat Unclean Fruit
Eating fruit that is beginning to rot, or fruit that has not been thoroughly washed and disinfected and lacks dust-proof and fly-proof equipment (such as strawberries, mulberries, and sliced watermelon), can easily lead to digestive tract infectious diseases like dysentery, typhoid, and acute gastroenteritis.
Do Not Disinfect Fruit With Alcohol
Although alcohol can kill bacteria on the surface of fruit, it can alter the fruit's color, aroma, and flavor. When alcohol reacts with the acids in the fruit, it reduces the fruit's nutritional value.
Do Not Eat Raw Fruit Without Peeling It
Some people believe that the peel contains more vitamins than the flesh and therefore eat the fruit with the peel on. However, when fruits suffer from pests and diseases, they are often sprayed with pesticides. These pesticides can penetrate and remain in the waxy layer of the peel, meaning the pesticide residue in the peel is much higher than in the flesh.
Do Not Use a Kitchen Knife to Peel Fruit
Because a kitchen knife often comes into contact with meat, fish, and vegetables, it can carry parasites or parasite eggs onto the fruit, leading to parasitic infections in humans. Furthermore, the rust on the kitchen knife can react with the tannic acid in apples, degrading the apple's color, aroma, and flavor.
