Is there toxin in Lychee fruits that can be harmful, but is harmful only under certain conditions?
Lychee fruits were widely used In many cultures for folk medicine, the treatment of all, from farting to testicular. (The male, mercury and lead are also included In many “traditional” treatments.) Lycans have also obviously “proved exhibit numerous health benefits ”but studies mentioned include These like this: “protective effect of a Litchi [Lychee]…- Exception with water for cardiovascular health in Hamsts high fat/cholesterol-diit. “What should we get from this? is Sweet, aromatic and tasty “, so I love them so much. Then I saw this:” A toxin that kills the child emerges from shadows. Scientists associate mystery deaths … with eating hops. ”
In Vietnam, it is called “Nightmare” encephalitis. There were unexplained outbreaks in children coinciding with the harvesting Lychee. Children go in bed feels good but wake up the next morning “seriously ill with disorder and epileptic seizures of the brain” – if trace at all. The same in India, killing up to almost two of the three children affected in some places. We are speech About thousands of children, so it became “one of the most pressing emergencies for public health in India”. The were One of the “three long -term mystery diseases mentioned in Wikipedia” and remained a mystery for more than two decades.
All clinical samples were negative for known brain viruses. So some researchers believed they were caused With an unknown virus, while others believed that it could be due to the pesticides used in the orchards. All we knew was that he seemed to coincide with the Lychee harvest. So they may have the fruits attracted Bats fruits, then mosquitoes could supply contaminated bats and carry a new bat from people to humans? Maybe, but why would toddlers and babies be mainly worn out; Mosquitoes also bite infants.
So children exchange spit with fruit bats by eating half-eaten fruit? “The researchers noted the colonies of fruits and the tendency of children to eat fruits to fall to the ground and suggested the possibility of a bat (via saliva infection) as the cause of the disease.” Or perhaps this were Because it was summer, and everyone was just getting thermal stroke? Maybe, but why weren’t the pesticides or the heat that affected adults?
One of the indications that eventually helped the researchers to tease the mystery was that the children consistently I had Low blood sugar – in some cases, deadly low blood sugar. This species sounds like “Jamaican vomiting disease”. Two children “were absolutely good” when they went In bed, but, “the next morning, they began to vomit and were weak”, then unconscious, then both dead within 48 hours. All this is due to food without Akee fruit, containing a toxin known as hypoglycerinwhich prevents our liver from shaking blood sugar all night to keep our minds alive while sleeping. Avanity is A member of the Soapberry family like Lychee is. Ah!
As I discuss in my video Lychee Fruit and Bypoglycin: How much is too much?Muzaffarpur is A leading Lychee producer and experts at the Litchi National Center claim that they “completely retrieved” the Lychee Link. Nevertheless, independent researchers establish IT: Lychee Fruit contains methylene cyclopropyl-glycin, almost the same toxin hypoglycerin “present in Ackee fruit, popular in Jamaica”.
Thus, in the environment of malnourished children already have Exhausted energy stores in their livers “(due to lost meals and poverty -related starvation),” the low blood jacket enters and, due to excessive consumption of Lychee fruit, the production of new energy blocks and begins the problem. “It’s a social tragedy that children have to die in the 21st century due to … hypoglycaemia [low blood sugar]which is an easily therapeutic condition and implies minimal costs. “It is just as tragic that hungry children are forced to confuse in lunches that fall to the ground to get a meal. Grapes of rage.
The happy end, however, is only epicenter Regarding the best treatments, local public health workers have tried to deal with the training of people “that no child should sleep at night without eating a cooked meal and for parents to limit children to eat Litchis at night. Fortunately, “by application These recommendations, the impact of the disease had been dramatically reduced and death almost prevented. “Out afterwards. It seems that China had already begun warning Citizens about the dangers of hops a decade earlier, but the word apparently had not taken around.
What are the consequences in the West? In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration tested To protect people from poisoning from this toxin (which is not destroyed by heating), forcing that the canned Aches that enter the country’s test of the country below a certain level, but there are no such regulations when it comes to introducing hops. ‘Fortunately, the high cost of these imported fruits and the probability [they] aspiring is consumed In small quantities of well -cooked consumers, it suggests that there is no reason to worry in the US. “This is the assumption.
In a series of a few hundred cases of poisoning, people reported conflict 300 grams in a kilo of Lychee fruit. Every lychee is about 10 gramsSo it’s 30 to 100 fruits. Most of the cases were children, but so we can probably safely say 30 to 100 lychees are too many at the same time for children. What about adults? In a self-experiment, a researcher ate Some hops and measured the levels of hypoglycerin in the blood and its urine, which remained below the levels observed in children affected. He ate 5 grams of canned lap for each kilo of body weight, equivalent to about 45 lychee for the average American male and suffered no bad symptoms.
What an exciting story! Many studies went on this one issue, but it was all the news for me, so I wanted to share it with you.
