Professor Xie Wei, director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Southern Hospital of Southern Medical University, pointed out that through consulting books and documents of traditional Chinese medicine, no reliable evidence was found to show that foods are gram-negative to each other, but there were many refutations.

As early as 1935, Ji Zheng, a nutritionist and professor at NTU, collected 184 pairs of folklore foods, and selected 14 groups of foods such as bananas and taro, peanuts and cucumbers, onions and honey, crabs and pestles, crabs and pomegranates, crucian carp and licorice, preserved eggs and sugar. These foods include The results showed that the expression, behavior, body temperature, fecal color and frequency of all animals and people were normal within 24 hours after eating. This is the first time to verify and refute the statement that "food is incompatible with each other" leads to diseases through scientific experiments. In 2008, Lanzhou University and Harbin Medical University also did similar experiments, and the subjects had no obvious adverse reactions.

In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, there is a saying that drugs are compatible with seven emotions, which reminds people to pay attention to the compatibility of drugs and has nothing to do with food compatibility. So, why is there still a saying that food is the first thing in life? Xie Wei thinks that one of them may be related to the collocation of cold and hot food, which is called "the opposite of food" in ancient Chinese medicine books. For example, crabs and persimmons are cold. If people with deficiency-cold constitution eat them, it may lead to diarrhea. But this is far less serious than the "food theory". The second possibility is bacterial infection. For example, Vibrio cholerae often pollutes aquatic products such as fish, shrimp and crab. If someone eats unclean aquatic products and another food, they may become a group of "similar foods".

Each ingredient has its own unique function, but sometimes when inappropriate ingredients are eaten together, the function may become the cause, which is what we call food mutual resistance.

However, it was confirmed by parties 20 18 and 3 15 that this was a rumor.
