The harm of eating too much pepper
1, resulting in loss of taste.
Pepper is particularly irritating to oral mucosa and taste buds. Eating pepper in moderation can increase appetite, but eating too much pepper can lead to loss of taste.
2. Damage to liver cells
Once the pepper is absorbed into the blood from the intestine, it can be transported to the liver for storage, which is called a beneficial anticancer substance. However, if you eat too much pepper, excessive capsaicin will also destroy the liver cells in the liver, disrupt the biochemical process in the cells and become a component that absorbs free radicals, and some free radicals are the cause of cancer.
3, easy to get stomach trouble
The alkaline components in pepper can directly stimulate the gastric mucosa and ulcer surface, and aggravate the congestion and expansion of local blood vessels in the stomach. If nerve endings are stimulated, it will cause stomach pain and sometimes gastric bleeding. Long-term and large-scale use of pepper will cause chronic gastritis and affect the normal absorption of nutrients in the intestine.
4, causing abdominal pain and diarrhea
Pepper contains irritating ingredients, which are very irritating to gastrointestinal mucosa after entering the stomach. Excessive consumption of pepper will lead to excessive congestion of gastrointestinal mucosa, accelerated gastrointestinal peristalsis, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms.
