    The reporter visited the market and learned that sweet and sweet persimmons have recently been on the market in large quantities and have been welcomed
    by many citizens.
    However, some consumers are disturbed
    by the online rumor that persimmons will be poisoned when eaten with crabs.
    So, what is the truth?

    According to a person from the Consumer Association, it has indeed received relevant inquiries
    from consumers recently.
    So can these two foods be eaten together? Xue Qingxin, a member of the Chinese Nutrition Society and a registered dietitian, said that persimmons are relatively nutritious as fruits, rich in vitamin C, dietary fiber, etc
    .
    Among common fruits, persimmons are second to none
    in tannins.
    Rumor has it that persimmons and seafood can cause poisoning, in addition to tannins binding to protein, but also because the vitamin C in persimmons converts the pentavalent arsenic in seafood into toxic trivalent arsenic, producing arsenic
    .
    In fact, it is not reliable to talk about toxicity regardless of dose
    .
    If you want to eat poisoning through the combination of persimmon and seafood, you need to eat about 100 kilograms of seafood, which is difficult for the human stomach to do under normal circumstances
    .

    The Consumer Association reminds the public that consumption should avoid entering the misunderstanding, it is currently the peak season for persimmon consumption, and the public, especially diabetics, can eat persimmons in an appropriate amount according to their own physical conditions
    .
    In fact, as long as it is a persimmon (sweet persimmon) with low tannin content, it can be eaten
    with confidence.
