Common Fruits That Harm the Gastrointestinal Tract
There are countless plants in nature, each with different qualities and functions. Some fruits contain excessive organic acids, vitamins, or antibiotics—sometimes useful as special remedies, but sometimes damaging to internal tissues. Therefore, fruit selection must be cautious.
(1) Plums: Fresh plums just released annually should not be eaten in excess. When consuming plums, avoid eating them after 3 p.m., otherwise they may harm the gastrointestinal tract, thinning its lining. However, if consumed at noon, they can serve as an anti-inflammatory remedy. Used properly, they bring benefits without harm—best consumed with honey to eliminate side effects.
(2) Lemons: Lemons should not be eaten excessively. Overconsumption weakens the gastric and intestinal walls, potentially causing gastric bleeding or duodenal bleeding. While lemons are indeed effective for treating obesity, they should only be used once per week. With consistent use, many overweight individuals have become slim. [Gastrointestinal]
