Will adding dragon fruit to milk cause poisoning? Nutritionist reveals the truth! Dragon fruit is high in sugar and potassium, these people should pay attention

There is a rumor on the Internet: "Dragon fruit cannot be consumed with milk." It says that dragon fruit contains vitamin C, while milk is rich in protein. Eating them together will cause the protein to deteriorate, become difficult to digest, and even cause poisoning. Nutritionist Chen Mengyi from the Nantou Hospital of the Ministry of Health and Welfare clarified that many fruits are rich in vitamin C, such as guava, kiwi, strawberry, etc. Eating these foods with milk will not cause indigestion or poisoning. If people are lactose intolerant or sensitive to milk, they can also drink soy milk instead, which is just as delicious and healthy.

Nantou County is one of the main production areas of pitaya. June to November every year is the peak production period of pitaya. Chen Mengyi, a nutritionist at Nantou Hospital, explained that pitaya is rich in various nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, polyphenols, anthocyanins and other phytochemicals. Many of these nutrients have antioxidant effects and have a very high nutritional value. However, nutritionist Chen Mengyi also reminded that although dragon fruit is not as sweet as pineapple or watermelon, it is actually a high-sugar and high-potassium fruit, so patients with diabetes or kidney disease should not consume it in excess.

Dragon fruit milk is rich and delicious. In summer, the juice is often blended with ice cubes. Nutritionist Chen Mengyi recommends that when using or purchasing ice cubes, one should pay attention to the source and hygiene of the ice cubes. If the sanitary environment for making ice cubes is not good, it may cause bacteria to grow and cause food safety problems.

In fact, in recent years, people have become more health conscious and are willing to consume more fruits and vegetables. Some people choose to blend fruits and vegetables with milk and drink it in the morning. This not only supplements calcium, but also contains trace elements and dietary fiber from fruits and vegetables. Nutritionists say that as long as the ingredients are fresh, they can basically maintain a healthy and delicious effect.
