Gastroenterologist Daria Utyumova explained why grapes can be harmful.
The doctor warned: grapes are a harmful berry for many people (perhaps the most harmful of all foods consumed). Doctor Utyumova noted that this plant product is characterized by high doses of sugar: 100 grams of grapes, for example, contain 16 grams of sugar.
“It contains a large amount of glucose, so it is not recommended for people with diabetes, obesity or cirrhosis of the liver,” the specialist shared with Gazeta.Ru.
Daria Utyumova added that grapes have a high calorie content and, in addition, they have quite a high glycemic index. This means that when consumed, sugar quickly enters the blood and its level increases sharply, provoking a response surge in insulin. Frequent consumption of grapes can thus provoke undesirable processes, including excess fat deposition and inflammation.
Other negative properties of grapes are that they stimulate increased appetite and hunger, and encourage you to eat more food.
In addition, grapes are a strong allergen, and their seeds can be a source of toxic compounds.
“In addition, grapes stimulates the production of gastric juice – it should not be consumed by people with peptic ulcers of the stomach or duodenum,” added the gastroenterologist.
The MedikForum.ru portal previously wrote about whether or not it is possible to drink kefir before bed, because some doctors speak out about this is critical.
