Eating fruit on an empty stomach varies from person to person

Can you eat fruit when you have an empty stomach in the morning? Experts in food nutrition believe that whether or not you can eat fruit on an empty stomach will vary from person to person and from fruit to fruit There are several reasons for the saying that "you can't eat fruit on an empty stomach in the morning": first, the acidity of your stomach is high when you are on an empty stomach, and then eating fruit rich in organic acids will stimulate your stomach to a certain extent; at the same time, the fruit contains a lot of tannins, which are combined with gastric acid, and easy to produce stones Second, the fruit sugar content is relatively high, eating on an empty stomach is easy to produce acid, and cause hiccup Is that the case? Fan Zhihong, an associate professor in the Department of nutrition and food safety at the school of food science, China Agricultural University, said that for people with too much gastric acid, eating fruits with high acidity such as oranges on an empty stomach may indeed be harmful; eating fruits with too much tannin on an empty stomach may cause discomfort due to the effect of mucus in the stomach But other fruits are not In fact, as fruit tastes sweeter and less acidic these days, this fear gradually loses its material base As for the high sugar content of fruit, it is easy to produce acid and cause hiccup when eating on an empty stomach, fan Zhihong said that this idea could not be established She thinks sugar doesn't digest in the stomach at all, but in the small intestine If the sugar content is high, you can't eat chocolate, biscuits and fruit sugar before meals, because they are high sugar food.
