Wong Lo Kat can be eaten with durian cake. There is no food conflict between the two, and there is no food conflict.
Professor Xie Wei, director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University, pointed out that after searching traditional Chinese medicine books and literature, no reliable evidence was found to prove that foods are mutually exclusive, but there is more evidence to refute it.
As early as 1935, Zheng Ji, a leading figure in nutrition and a professor at Nanjing University, collected 184 pairs of mutually incompatible foods in folklore and chose bananas and taro, peanuts and cucumbers, onions and onions that had more chances of eating together. There are 14 food groups for animals and people to try, such as honey, crab and chicken, crab and pomegranate, crucian carp and licorice, preserved eggs and sugar.
The results found that within 24 hours after eating, the expressions, behaviors, body temperatures, color and frequency of feces of all animals and humans tested were normal. This is the first time that scientific experiments have been conducted to verify and refute the idea that "food mutually incompatible" causes disease. In 2008, Lanzhou University and Harbin Medical University also conducted similar experiments, and the subjects had no obvious adverse reactions.
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the "seven emotions" of drugs are said to be incompatible with each other. This is to remind you that you need to pay attention to the compatibility of drugs and has nothing to do with food.
Xie Wei believes that one of the reasons may be related to the combination of hot and cold foods, which is called "food opposites" in ancient Chinese medicine books. For example, crabs and persimmons are both cold in nature. If they happen to be eaten by people with weak constitutions, they may cause diarrhea.
But this is far less serious than the "food mutual restraint theory". The second possibility is bacterial infection. For example, Vibrio cholerae often contaminates fish, shrimp, crab and other aquatic products. If someone eats unclean aquatic products and then eats another kind of food, causing illness, this may become a "group of diseases" Incompatible food."
Extended information
In life, there are some so-called food conflicts, which are actually personal physical problems. One is lactose intolerance. Some people lack the lactase enzyme secreted by the cells of the small intestine and cannot break down the lactose in milk.
The main symptoms are abdominal tension, bowel sounds, abdominal pain, flatulence, diarrhea and general weakness after drinking milk. . People who are lactose intolerant will have diarrhea if they drink milk alone. If they happen to eat it with other foods, a "food conflict" phenomenon will occur.
The second is allergies, including seafood allergy, peanut allergy, egg allergy, etc. Theoretically, any food containing protein may cause allergies and discomfort.
The third is irritable bowel syndrome. This is a group of clinical syndromes that include abdominal pain, bloating, changes in bowel habits, and abnormal stool properties, which persist or recur. Most patients are young and middle-aged, and the male to female ratio is about 1:2. The cause of this disease is unknown, but emotional factors, diet, medications, or hormones can trigger or worsen this hypertonic gastrointestinal motility.
What is certain is that no matter what the patient eats, he may have abdominal discomfort, and therefore suspect a food conflict. This reminds us that if you feel uncomfortable after eating and cannot relieve yourself in a short period of time, you should seek medical treatment in time instead of spreading rumors.
