Wang Yumei, director of the Nutrition Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Tsinghua University, explained that the so-called "eating oranges is easy to get angry" is mainly because oranges are very convenient to eat, and sitting there for a few minutes will unconsciously eat a lot. In addition, especially oranges that taste very sweet, the sugar content is generally high, and some people have poor absorption function of sugar.

Once you eat too much, high concentration of sugar will make the body fluids in the throat cells ooze, which will cause throat discomfort. Moreover, bacteria in the mouth like to breed in a high-sugar environment, and if you don't rinse your mouth after eating oranges, it is easy to have gum inflammation, which makes people feel "angry".

Extended data:

Some people say that eating green-skinned oranges is not easy to get angry. Associate researcher Jiangdong pointed out that there is no relevant research to prove this conclusion. Moreover, most of the time, green-skinned oranges are not new varieties as the merchants say, but only because the harvest time of oranges in different producing areas is different. For example, Wenzhou oranges in Huaning, Yunnan Province are picked in advance to facilitate transportation and storage, and this kind of oranges will turn yellow after being placed in a suitable environment for a period of time. Most green oranges taste sour, and the sweetness will increase when they are ripe, so they are not so sour.
