Eggs are a food that everyone has eaten and is commonly consumed in daily life. People will mix eggs with various ingredients to make delicious dishes. However, I would like to remind everyone that there are also considerations for the matching of eggs, such as not eating eggs with monosodium glutamate, milk, sweet potatoes, and other foods together.

1. Eggs + Tea

Do not drink tea immediately after eating eggs. Tea contains a large amount of tannic acid, which, when combined with protein, forms tannic protein, a substance with astringent properties. This can slow down intestinal peristalsis, thereby prolonging the retention time of feces in the intestines, which is easily lead to constipation. It can also increase the possibility of absorbing toxic and carcinogenic substances, posing a health risk to the human body.

Similarly, tea eggs that are boiled repeatedly should also be eaten in moderation. This is because the substances in tea and protein can produce harmful substances when mixed together.

2. Eggs + Soy Milk

Eating eggs and soy milk together can affect the absorption of nutrition. Proteins enter the gastrointestinal tract, are decomposed into amino acids by pepsin and trypsin secreted by the pancreas, and are then absorbed by the small intestine.

Soy milk contains a trypsin inhibitor that can destroy the activity of trypsin, affecting the digestion and absorption of protein. Eggs contain a mucinous protein that can bind with trypsin, rendering trypsin ineffective and thus hindering the decomposition of protein.

3. Eggs + Persimmons

Eating persimmons after eating eggs can cause food poisoning in mild cases, while in severe cases, it can lead to acute gastroenteritis and even lung calculi. Generally speaking, eating these two foods together can cause acute gastroenteritis symptoms mainly characterized by vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.

If the medication time is within 1 to 2 hours, vomiting can be induced. Immediately dissolve 20g of salt in 200ml of boiling water, cool it down and drink it all at once. If vomiting does not occur, drink it multiple times to quickly induce vomiting. Alternatively, fresh ginger can be pounded and its juice mixed with warm water for consumption. If the medication time is longer, take some laxatives as soon as possible to expel the toxic substances from the body.

4, Egg + Milk

Some people have the habit of eating milk and eggs together, which is an unscientific method.

Milk contains lactose, which is a disaccharide consisting of galactose and glucose, with galactose being its nutritional component. Eggs contain a large amount of protein, which decomposes into amino acids. The absorption of amino acids consumes energy, and at this time, there is less glucose available in the blood for energy. Certain proteins in eggs can react with certain nutrients in milk, reducing their nutritional value, so they should not be eaten together.

5, Egg + Rabbit Meat

Eggs should not be eaten with rabbit meat, goose meat, and other meats. Li Shizhen said in ‘Compendium of Materia Medica’: ‘Eating eggs with rabbit meat leads to diarrhea.’ This is because rabbit meat is sweet, cold, and sour, while eggs are sweet and slightly cold. Both contain some bioactive substances that can react when eaten together, stimulating the gastrointestinal tract and causing diarrhea.

6, Egg + Monosodium Glutamate

Eating eggs with monosodium glutamate can destroy and affect the original flavor. Eggs themselves contain many glutamic acids that are the same as those in monosodium glutamate. Adding monosodium glutamate when frying eggs not only wastes it but also destroys and conceals the original fresh taste of eggs. It also inhibits the activity of trypsin in the human body. This enzyme is heat-resistant and must be broken down at a higher temperature.

7, Egg + Turtle Meat

Eating turtle meat after eating eggs can also lead to food poisoning. Turtle meat itself is slippery and腻, and people with colds or internal dampness should generally not eat it. In addition, it is salty and flat, so pregnant women and people with poor digestive systems after giving birth should not eat it.

8, Egg + Soy Milk

Every morning, mothers will carefully prepare breakfast for their children, hoping that the children can get sufficient nutrition in the morning. Therefore, many mothers will beat egg white into soy milk. Or let the child quench their thirst with soy milk after eating eggs.

In fact, soy milk, which has a strong nourishing effect when consumed alone, contains a special substance called trypsin, which combines with the egg white protein, causing a loss of nutritional value and reducing the nutritional value of both.

9, Egg + Sugar

Many places have the habit of eating sugar water custard eggs, which actually causes the amino acids in the egg protein to form a fructosyl lysine complex. This substance is not easily absorbed by the human body, so it can have adverse effects on health.

10, Egg + Antipyretic Medicine

Eggs are rich in protein, and special attention should be paid to the intake of protein when inflammation occurs. Therefore, it is imperative not to take medication after eating eggs when inflammation occurs. Especially for digestive diseases with diarrhea symptoms, eggs should not be consumed.

Because eggs are rich in protein, they can increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and have an impact on the efficacy of medication, especially in cases of fatty diarrhea. In terms of Western medicine, there is no significant impact on other inflammations, such as those in the respiratory or urinary systems.

11, Egg + Sweet Potato

Egg and sweet potato are incompatible when eaten together, which can cause abdominal pain. Generally speaking, eating both of them together can easily lead to bloating, as both eggs and sweet potatoes are difficult to digest, and consuming them together makes digestion even more difficult, which can further lead to abdominal pain.
