Can dried apricots cause harm to health: a popular misconception
Dried fruits are often called a healthy alternative to sweet desserts. They retain vitamins and nutrients, and in some cases help you lose weight.
But everything is not as cloudless as society generally believes, because every coin always has two sides.
Nutritionist Alexandra Stepanenko told Sport-Express in an interview what consequences eating dried apricots can lead to.
Harm of dried apricots
Dried apricots contain more sugar than fresh apricots.
Therefore, it is necessary to know and remember the risk of sharp jumps in blood sugar, which is especially important for patients with diabetes.
Even healthy people need to observe moderation when consuming this dried fruit.
Otherwise, getting diarrhea or bloating will be a mere trifle.
Despite the fact that dried apricots are a source of fiber, they are contraindicated for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
It can cause an exacerbation of gastritis and stomach ulcers.
Another contraindication is thyroid disease.
And, of course, how can one not remember the allergy to dried apricots or fresh apricots.
It is important to understand that allergies can be caused by dried fruit or sulfur dioxide, which is used to treat dried fruit to increase shelf life.
In this case, dried apricots become dangerous for patients with respiratory diseases.
