The dangers of eating too much melon seeds:

1. Eating too many melon seeds can cause stomach problems

I often hear people say that their stomachs hurt after eating melon seeds for a whole morning. The main reason is that air continuously enters the gastrointestinal tract as the chewed melon seeds are swallowed, causing bloating in the gastrointestinal tract and causing abdominal discomfort symptoms such as belching, bloating, and abdominal pain. The tempting aroma of melon seeds constantly stimulates the contraction of the gallbladder and can also cause abdominal pain.

2. Eating too many melon seeds can cause indigestion

In addition, if you eat too many melon seeds at one time, it will inevitably consume a large amount of saliva and gastric juice, affecting the normal digestion of food and leading to diseases such as indigestion.

3. Eating too many melon seeds can damage your tongue

If you eat too many melon seeds at one time for a long time, the repeated friction between the seeds and your tongue will cause swelling, pain, redness, and blisters on the tip of your tongue.

4. Frequent consumption of "multi-flavored melon seeds" can easily induce liver disease and even poisoning and premature aging

Multi-flavored melon seeds are made from melon seeds, spices, salt and saccharin. There are two types of spices: natural spices and artificial spices. Natural spices such as fennel and pepper contain trace amounts of safrole. If the human body consumes too much safrole, it will cause liver disease.

The following three types of people should not eat too many melon seeds:

Patients with hyperlipidemia. Melon seeds contain a lot of fat. When consumed by patients with hyperlipidemia, the lipid level in their blood will increase. High blood lipids are often one of the important pathogenic factors of diseases such as arteriosclerosis, hypertension, and coronary heart disease.

Cholecystectomy. Melon seeds are greasy and the fat they contain requires bile to digest. After gallbladder removal, the bile storage function is lost. If this type of patients eat melon seeds, it will cause indigestion.

Patients with stomach and liver diseases. Melon seeds contain a lot of fat. If people with enteritis, dysentery, poor spleen and stomach function, and liver disease eat them, their condition will be aggravated.
