Litchi disease is caused by fructose in Litchi
If eating a large number of lychees, a large number of fructose gathered in the blood vessels, there will be a state of "in short supply" of invertase, unable to convert fructose into glucose in time.
At the same time, fructose stimulates the human body to secrete a large amount of insulin, which makes the liver lower the blood glucose concentration, leading to the lack of blood glucose supply, nausea, sweating and fatigue, which are the symptoms of litchi disease.
Children are more likely to have litchi disease
Due to the lack of liver glycogen reserve, young children are prone to hypoglycemia when they eat litchi in large quantities and do not eat other foods.
However, experts also stressed that not everyone has hypoglycemia when eating litchi, but when eating a large number of Litchi on an empty stomach, hypoglycemia may occur, seriously even life-threatening.
