"Eating a lot of raw eggplant will reduce the function of digestive tract to digest and absorb food. Therefore, for some elderly people with weak digestive function, it is easy to cause abdominal distension, stomach pain, diarrhea and other adverse reactions. If you want to lose weight, you must follow the basic concept of nutrition, eat more dietary fiber, eat less high-fat processed foods, and exercise more according to your physical condition. "

Health education expert: Eating raw eggplant can't lose weight.

Ding Chunsheng, director of Changchun Health Education Center, said: "Eggplant's easy oil absorption is mainly determined by its physical structure and properties, but it will not maintain its original properties when eaten raw in the digestive system. At present, there is no research to prove that raw food can decompose and metabolize human fat. "

"Eating raw eggplant can't help you lose weight." Ding Chunsheng, director of Changchun Health Education Center, told reporters that he had heard of this saying circulating on the Internet before. "The main theoretical support of this view comes from' eggplant is easy to absorb oil during cooking', so some people say that eating eggplant raw can absorb human fat and achieve the purpose of losing weight. But in fact, this statement has no scientific basis and is not credible. "

Ding Chunsheng said: "Eggplant's easy oil absorption is mainly determined by its physical structure and properties, but it will not keep its original properties when eaten raw in the digestive system. At present, there is no research that can prove that eggplant can decompose and metabolize human fat. "
