In fact, if you eat oranges and get on fire, we have to figure out what caused the fire. Because according to the study, the sugar content in oranges is particularly high, and some people have poor stomach and stomach, and the digestion and absorption of sugar are poor, so after eating more oranges, the high concentration of sugar will make the body fluids in the throat cells ooze out, causing throat discomfort. Even some people do not have the habit of brushing their teeth before going to bed, and the bacteria in the mouth multiply rapidly in a high-sugar environment, resulting in stomatitis, periodontitis, and laryngitis, which are the manifestations of fire.

Can oranges be eaten with milk? What other foods can't be eaten together?
Oranges should not be eaten with milk. The fruit acid in oranges will coagulate the protein in milk, which not only affects nutrient absorption, but also causes bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms in severe cases. Therefore, oranges should be eaten 1 hour after drinking milk.
Oranges should not be eaten with turnips. Oranges and radishes are listed in autumn and winter, and it is inevitable that the two will often "meet" at the table. However, consumers need to be reminded that they should not eat oranges immediately after eating white radish, otherwise they will induce goiter. This is because white radish contains more enzymes, and after being ingested by the human body, it will produce a thiocyanate, which can prevent the thyroid gland from ingesting iodine and inhibit the formation of thyroxine. Oranges contain flavonoid substances, which can be converted into hydroxybenzoic acid and ferulic acid after being decomposed by bacteria in the intestine, which can strengthen the inhibition of the thyroid gland by thiocyanate.
