People prone to high blood sugar should eat tangerines with caution, warned in Roskachestvo.
Specialists of the department said that tangerines can be harmful due to the high fructose content. In particular, they are harmful to eat in large portions – especially for those who already have prediabetes or diabetes.
“Citrus fruits contain a lot of fructose – 7 grams in clementine and about 6 grams in tangerine,” they informed experts.
Doctors reminded that the total amount of sugar that a person consumes per day should not exceed 50 grams (many nutritionists recommend focusing on a more modest figure). Sugar abuse overloads the pancreas and contributes to the development of insulin resistance, which is associated with the development of diabetes and other health problems.
In addition, tangerines can provoke unpleasant symptoms in allergy sufferers, as well as in people with sensitive stomachs.
