Li Ning, the chief physician of the Nutrition Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, believes that "the statement that eating durian with milk will lead to caffeine poisoning is untenable and has no scientific basis."

She said that in general, excessive intake of caffeine from food will lead to increased blood pressure, palpitation, insomnia and other discomfort. But whether the food contains caffeine or not is an inherent property of the food itself. It is impossible to produce caffeine out of thin air when two kinds of caffeine-free foods are put together.

Fan Zhihong, a professor in the Department of Nutrition and Food Safety, College of Food Science, China Agricultural University, pointed out that "this statement has no factual basis, and there is no evidence to prove it", and said that he had eaten delicious durian and cream food the other day and did not feel uncomfortable.

Li Ning said that from the perspective of food ingredients, the main ingredients of fruits are carbohydrates (sugar), various vitamins, inorganic salts and dietary fiber. Protein and fat content are extremely low. Durian, which is called "the king of tropical fruits".

Not only the content of carbohydrate (sugar) is higher than that of common fruits, but also the content of protein and fat is much higher than that of other fruits. Therefore, it has great energy and rich nutrition. But durian and milk are obviously not caffeine-rich foods.

Fan Zhihong said, "Durian is the fruit with the most calories, and its calories are higher than bananas." Li Ning said that since she was engaged in clinical nutrition work, she had never met a patient with symptoms of caffeine poisoning caused by eating durian and milk at the same time.

Extended data nutrition denies "food is like a gram"

Talking about the saying that "food is the same as grams", such as soy milk avoiding eggs, eggs avoiding saccharin, tomatoes avoiding mung beans, Li Ning said, "Anything that can be eaten and has not deteriorated will not be poisoned or even died due to simultaneous intake under normal consumption."

Li Ning repeatedly stressed that "durian is just a kind of fruit, so there is no need to exaggerate its function." She explained: "For example, you used to eat apples, pears, grapes and bananas, and suddenly you want to change your taste, so you can eat durian.

Durian is the same as other fruits, except that it contains high sugar content and a certain amount of fat, which is not recommended for diabetics and obese people. "

"Can durian and wine be eaten together?" Li Ning said that in vitro studies have shown that a certain chemical in durian has a certain inhibitory effect on the enzymes that metabolize alcohol in the human body, which may prolong the metabolic time of alcohol in the body. However, the evidence of this in vitro study is not strong enough to draw the conclusion that "eating durian with wine can cause serious consequences"

Fan Zhihong thinks that some so-called cases of death caused by several kinds of food poisoning are only rare phenomena, and not everyone will happen. If some people are allergic to seafood, some people drink milk and their stomachs are bad, and some people are allergic to alcohol, most people will not appear.

And this is just an allergic or digestive problem, not poisoning or even death at all. Some chemical components will pose a threat to people's health, and various nutrients in food are essential substances to maintain people's lives.

Song Lucheng, director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Qianfoshan Hospital in Shandong Province, said in an interview with the media, "There are many sayings that food is incompatible with each other in life. Most of them may only affect absorption, while others are misinformed.

This is closely related to everyone's different physique and basic diseases. People with cold physique, damp heat constitution, or some basic diseases have certain stress on diet.

At the same time, even if individual foods are eaten at the same time, it will cause some discomfort, and it will only appear if the amount reaches a very high level. As long as a small amount is eaten, there will be basically no problem. "

Li Ning suggested adhering to the principle of balanced, balanced and diverse diet, and not picky eaters or overeating certain foods. For details, please follow the Dietary Guidelines for China Residents, that is, there are various foods, mainly cereals. Eat more vegetables, fruits and potatoes.
