What kind of people cannot eat starfruit

It is not recommended for patients with renal insufficiency, dialysis patients, infants, and those with allergies to consume starfruit. Yangmao contains neurotoxins and high levels of oxalic acid, which may cause poisoning or increase the burden on the kidneys. The neurotoxins in starfruit may have a serious impact on patients with renal dysfunction. This group of people has decreased renal metabolic capacity and is unable to effectively eliminate toxins. They may experience symptoms of poisoning such as hiccups, vomiting, and confusion, which can lead to epilepsy or death in severe cases. Dialysis patients also have a risk of toxin accumulation. Oxalate in starfruit can easily form crystals and block renal tubules, which may accelerate renal function deterioration. Infants and young children with underdeveloped digestive systems and kidneys are more prone to adverse reactions after consuming starfruit toxin. It is recommended that children under three years old avoid consumption. People with allergies may experience skin itching, lip swelling, and other allergic reactions when consuming starfruit. Those with a history of fruit allergies should try with caution. Consuming large amounts of starfruit on an empty stomach in healthy individuals may also cause kidney damage. It is recommended to limit it to less than 200 grams per day and drink plenty of water after consumption to promote oxalate excretion. Individuals with a family history of chronic kidney disease or high uric acid levels should reduce the frequency of starfruit intake.

The general population should choose mature fruits when consuming starfruit and avoid eating it on an empty stomach or with high calcium foods. Yangtao is rich in vitamin C and dietary fiber. Moderate consumption by healthy adults can help enhance immunity and promote digestion. It is recommended to soak in salt water to remove some oxalic acid before consumption. If any abnormal symptoms occur, stop eating immediately and seek medical attention. People with normal renal function should take it 2-3 times a week, with no more than half carambola each time. People with diabetes should pay attention to its sugar content. Maintaining dietary diversity is more important than consuming a single fruit, and can be balanced with low oxalate fruits such as apples and pears for a balanced nutrition.
