Gastroenterologist Nikita Kharlov in conversation with “Evening Moscow” spoke about a popular spice, a teaspoon of which can destroy the liver.
According to the expert, liver problems can occur not only due to alcohol consumption, but also due to malnutrition. For example, an important organ can be destroyed by a lack of vitamin B4 (choline), which is responsible for metabolic processes in the liver.
Its deficiency provokes non-alcoholic fatty disease. Also toxic to the cookie is cassia, which is very similar to Ceylon cinnamon but has different characteristics.
A teaspoon of this spice is enough to provoke hepatitis in the body. Also, according to Kharlov, medications, including antipsychotics and neuroleptics, hormonal and contraceptives based on synthetic estrogens, as well as paracetamol, glucocorticoids and other drugs, can become the cause of liver disease, as they cause fatty liver and hepatitis.
In conclusion, the gastroenterologist added that the health of the liver is affected by an excess of iron and artificial fructose.
