Eating papaya cannot enlarge your breasts.

Among the rumors that papaya can enlarge breasts, some rumors explain its "principle" like this: papaya enzyme and vitamin A can stimulate the secretion of female hormones and help breast enlargement. Papaya enzyme can also decompose protein and promote the body's response to breast cancer. Protein absorption.

1. Papain: decomposes protein but does not enlarge breasts

In fact, the word "enzyme" comes from Japanese, and when translated into Chinese it means "enzyme". Papain and papain are the same thing. . In a broad sense, papain refers to a complex enzyme composed of papain, chymopapain, amylase, etc.

The so-called "protease", its function is to break down proteins. It breaks large protein molecules into small fragments. The main ingredient in the famous meat tenderizer powder is papain. It breaks down the proteins in meat and makes the meat less mechanically strong, making the meat soft and tender. Meat tenderizer is not only used in the food industry, but also among foreign folk, there is a cooking method of dripping papaya juice on beef to make the beef more delicious.

However, proteases must be in direct contact with proteins to work. When we eat papaya, the papain slides down the esophagus into the stomach, where it is decomposed by pepsin (papain itself is also a protein). There is no complete and active papain to play the role of breast enhancement. What's more, the above considerations are still about eating papaya raw. If you are cooking papaya soup, the papaya enzyme will have lost its activity due to heat. In short, using this point of view to prove that eating papaya can enlarge breasts is pure nonsense.

2. Vitamin A: The human body needs it, but it cannot enlarge the breasts

Papaya is rich in carotenoids, which can be converted into vitamin A in the human body. The conversion rate of this process is not high. If carotene is taken in too much in a short period of time, the conversion rate will be greatly reduced. To a certain extent, it is not easy to overdose on vitamin A, so eating papaya is a safer way to supplement vitamin A.

But the key is that vitamin A does not stimulate estrogen secretion, so it has no effect on breast enlargement.
