The spice turmeric, due to excessive passion for it, can lead to fatal liver damage. Writes about it “Reedus” with reference to a new study by the National Institute of Digestive Organs in the United States.
American doctors are aware of at least 12 cases of such a lesion. So, a 49-year-old patient, who used turmeric every day, faced uncontrollable vomiting, and her eyes and skin turned yellow. This is a symptom characteristic of liver damage, which has been confirmed by tests. Similar cases have been reported in a number of hospitals.
As it was found, the liver of such patients stopped processing bilirubin, a substance that is formed during the natural breakdown of red blood cells. This condition causes jaundice and is deadly. Patients were cured, but they now have to give up their favorite spice.
However, the material says that most people safely consume turmeric without such a negative effect on the body. This is due to differences in genetics. Patients with problems lacked the enzyme that processes turmeric, so the spice began to poison their bodies.
The researchers also warned that a mixture of turmeric and black pepper could be dangerous.
The fact is that it increases the absorption of curcumin by 30 times. Earlier, a nutritionist told what kind of breakfast is the most useful for a figure.
