What foods don't fit together

Eggs and soy milk

Consequences: may affect digestion

Reason: raw soybean milk contains trypsin inhibitor, which can inhibit the activity of human protease and affect the digestion and absorption of protein in human body. However, egg white contains mucous protein, which can be combined with trypsin in soybean milk, hindering the decomposition of protein, thus reducing the human body's absorption rate of protein.

2. Persimmon and crab

Possible consequences: vomiting and diarrhea

Reason: the crab is rich in protein, which is easy to precipitate when combined with tannin of persimmon and solidifies into a substance not easy to digest. As tannins have astringency, they can also inhibit the secretion of digestive fluids, resulting in the retention of coagulated substances in the intestinal fermentation and food poisoning such as vomiting, abdominal distension and diarrhea.

Pomegranates and seafood

Consequences: abdominal pain may occur

Reason: fish, shrimp and algae in seafood are rich in protein, calcium and other nutrients. If they eat with pomegranate containing tannic acid, they will not only reduce the nutritional value of protein, but also easy to combine calcium in seafood with tannic acid into a new non-digestible substance, which will stimulate the stomach and cause discomfort. The autumn fruit that contains tannic acid more still has persimmon, grape, hawthorn, green fruit to wait.

Seafood and beer

The consequences: gout may be triggered

Why: seafood contains both purine and glycolic acid, while beer is rich in an important catalyst for their breakdown -- vitamin B1. Drinking beer while eating seafood can easily lead to a sharp rise in uric acid level and induce gout, resulting in gout nephropathy and gout arthritis.

Oranges and milk

Consequences: abdominal distension, abdominal pain, diarrhea may occur

Reason: the protein in milk will first encounter with the orange fruit acid and vitamin C and solidify into blocks, affecting digestion and absorption.
