What side effects do women have when they eat more carrots?

The consequences of women eating more carrots are: it will affect the synthesis of lutein in ovary, reduce secretion, and some even cause menorrhagia, anovulation and menstrual disorder.

This situation was first discovered in patients with anorexia nervosa. Even if they don't eat or have menstruation, they still find that carotene in their blood is too high. Later, in some female patients with anorexia nervosa, it was found that if a large number of carrots were eaten, the carotene in the blood would be high, resulting in abnormal phenomena such as infertility, no menstruation and no ovulation.

The researchers explained that this may be caused by β -carotene interfering with steroid synthesis. Doctors have found that six women with irregular menstruation due to eating too many carrots have Huang Chengcheng's ovaries, which are called "golden ovaries".

After reading the above research, we can know that eating more carrots will affect fertility. Therefore, pregnant women should give up carrots. Although carrots are rich in nutrients, their nutrients are not irreplaceable. If you want to get comprehensive nutrition, you can also get it from other foods.

Extended data

1, carrots and peppers should not be eaten raw together.

Carrots not only contain a lot of carotene, but also contain vitamin C decomposing enzymes, while peppers are rich in vitamin C, so carrots should not be eaten raw with peppers, otherwise the nutritional value of peppers will be reduced. However, vitamin C catabolic enzymes are not heat-resistant, and can be destroyed at 50℃. Don't worry if they are cooked.

2. Don't put vinegar on carrots if they are afraid of acid frying.

Carrots contain a lot of carotene, so it is best to fry carrots in oil or stew them with meat. Carotene is afraid of acid. Don't put vinegar on carrots.

Don't eat carrots and white radishes together.

Although carrots and white radishes have many benefits to the human body, eating them together will reduce nutrition.

White radish contains many enzymes, mustard oil, lignin, interferon inducer and so on. Has good effects of promoting digestion, resisting cancer, resisting virus infection, improving immunity and producing interferon. However, the above substances are not heat-resistant and will be destroyed at a high temperature of 70℃.

On the other hand, carrots are rich in beta-carotene. When eaten raw, more than 70% of carotene cannot be absorbed. Only by frying with edible oil can the absorption and utilization rate of carotene be improved. In addition, because carrots contain enzymes that decompose vitamin C, when they are mixed together, vitamin C in white radish will be destroyed.
