(C) eating kumquat taboo

Control consumption.

According to research, eating three kumquats a day can meet a person's daily demand for vitamin C. If you eat too much and take too much vitamin C, your body will metabolize more oxalic acid, which will easily lead to urinary calculi and kidney calculi. In addition, eating too much is harmful to the mouth and teeth.

Kumquat should not be eaten with radish.

After radish enters the human body, it will quickly produce a substance called sulfate, which will soon be metabolized to produce an antithyroid substance-thiocyanate. If kumquat is eaten at this time, the flavonoids in kumquat will be decomposed in the intestine and converted into hydroxybenzoic acid and ferulic acid, which can strengthen the inhibitory effect of thiocyanic acid on thyroid, thus inducing or leading to goiter.

Kumquat and milk should not be eaten together.

Protein in milk easily reacts with fruit acid and vitamin C in kumquat, and solidifies into lumps, which not only affects digestion and absorption, but also causes abdominal distension, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms. Therefore, it is not advisable to drink milk within 1 hour before and after eating kumquat.

Kumquat should not be eaten before meals or on an empty stomach.
