There is news that a Mr. Tian’s face turned yellow after eating too much sugar oranges. Netizens commented that “eating too many oranges can easily lead to internal heat and potassium poisoning.” In fact, some netizens have previously said that sugar oranges are "killer oranges." In fact, they are not that scary. There are two main reasons: the side effects of excessive consumption and the economic problems caused by excessive planting of sugar oranges.
1. Side effects of excessive consumption of sugar oranges
The flesh of sugar oranges is orange-yellow, the skin is thin, the pulp has high water content and a delicate taste, so many people like to eat it very much, but excessive consumption of sugar oranges , there will be three main side effects:
1. It will cause the skin to turn yellow and look very unhealthy
There are a lot of natural pigments carotenoids and lutein in sugar oranges , if these pigments cannot be metabolized in time, they will accumulate in the body and deposit under the skin, which will make the skin look very yellow. It is called "hypercaroteneemia" in medicine, especially if the liver function of the eater is to decompose enzymes. If the function is weak, the yellowing will be more obvious. In this case, as long as you no longer consume it, the body will slowly metabolize the excess carotenoids and the yellow color will no longer appear.

2. Sugar residue can easily lead to oral problems, red and swollen gums and other problems
Eating too much sugar can easily cause dental problems. Eating too much sugar orange can also easily affect the oral cavity, and can also cause symptoms of internal heat, such as red and swollen gums, red and swollen throat, and a series of uncomfortable symptoms.
Excessive sugar intake is prone to oral problems
3. For people with abnormal blood sugar, it is easy to induce symptoms.
Although the total sugar content of sugar oranges is greater than 10, it is not much different from most citrus fruits. People feel that sugar oranges are sweeter than other citrus fruits because fructose accounts for the majority of the sugar content. Relatively high, and fructose is sweeter than other sugars, such as glucose and sucrose. Moreover, sugar oranges have less acidic substances than other citrus fruits, so when combined with sugar oranges, they appear sweet.
The high fructose content makes it appear sweet
Because of this, since fructose has a smaller impact on blood sugar than glucose, sucrose, etc., it is okay for people with abnormal blood sugar to eat sugar oranges in moderation. There is a problem, but if you have poor blood sugar control, poor physical condition, or excessive consumption, such as more than 200g per day, it will definitely not work and may easily induce related diseases.
In addition, in addition to the problems caused by excessive consumption of sugar oranges, you should also pay attention to other dietary taboos when eating sugar oranges, such as not to mix with high-protein foods such as milk, soy milk, cheese, etc. Eat them together to avoid abdominal pain, diarrhea and other situations that may lead to electrolyte imbalance in the human body caused by protein coagulation with vitamin C.
Second, the economic problems caused by the overproduction of sugar oranges
The more important reason is that the input-output ratio of sugar oranges has not been high in recent years. And lose money and go bankrupt.
In the early years, due to the high popularity and high price of sugar oranges in the market, many fruit farmers joined the army of planting sugar oranges. Coupled with the vigorous promotion of the local government, for a time There are many participants in the cultivation of sugar oranges. Taking Guangxi as an example, the planting area of ??sugar oranges has exceeded 3 million acres in a few years, and the yield is astonishingly high. However, due to the relatively high requirements for sugar orange cultivation, many fruit farmers do not have the relevant experience. Due to technology, the quality of the fruit is not up to standard, and the output is greater than the market demand. As a result, the oversupply makes the hard-grown sugar oranges unable to be sold, or the purchase price is unacceptably low, causing many people to suffer heavy losses.
Growing sugar oranges
Therefore, as long as sugar oranges are not eaten excessively, there is no harm to the body, and there will be no possibility of getting angry or potassium poisoning, like Mr. Tian on the Internet. It is absolutely not advisable to eat 40 pounds for 8 hours at a time. In addition, for your own health, remember to pay attention to the following points when eating sugar oranges:?
