Persimmons are in season now. Recently, a post "Eating persimmon and drinking yogurt will lead to poisoning" spread in WeChat group and circle of friends. Can persimmon and yogurt be eaten together? What should we pay attention to when eating persimmons?

This picture on the Internet says, "Don't drink yogurt or eat bananas after eating persimmons. It will be poisoned. It has been on the news. A child died before waiting for the hospital." And so on, then, the reporter found that this kind of speech has been spread in various places from a few years ago, but there are still citizens spreading and forwarding it.

Chen Xing, deputy chief physician of the Municipal Public Health Hospital: There have been news reports some time ago. In fact, this news was later proved to be false news. It is dismissed. When persimmon and yogurt are eaten together, it will not cause toxins and will not be fatal.

Dr. Chen said that persimmon contains tannic acid, which is a polyphenol substance. Under certain conditions, it will form an indigestible precipitate "tannic acid protein" with protein. Persimmons can't be eaten with yogurt because protein in yogurt forms "tannic acid protein" with persimmons, which is more prone to indigestion and flatulence, but it will never be poisoned.

Chen Xing, deputy chief physician of the Municipal Public Health Hospital: The most scientific statement is that persimmons still contain a lot of organic acids, and milk contains a lot of calcium and phosphorus. These organic acids and these calcium and phosphorus will form some clots, which will precipitate in the stomach, which will affect people's digestion.

The doctor reminds you not to eat persimmons on an empty stomach, and don't eat too much at one time until the persimmons are completely cooked. Persimmon can't be eaten in the same way as octopus, crab and other seafood, otherwise it is prone to diarrhea; Persimmon has astringent effect and can't be eaten with sweet potato, jujube, yam and other foods, which is easy to cause indigestion.
