Drink oil and swallow earthworms to lose weight? Doctor: It's ineffective and harmful.
Artists spare no effort to look good in front of the camera and lose weight. In the program, Yan Liting broke the news that he tried to lose weight by swallowing earthworms raw, while Micawhite drank coconut oil. Xiao Dunren, vice president of the Obesity Research Association of the Republic of China, said that these two methods are not only ineffective, but even harmful to human health.

Female artists have many tricks to lose weight. Yan Liting and Kay Mibai both had terrible weight loss experiences. (Photo/excerpt from Yan Liting's White Face Book) Earthworms live in different environments and have no effect on weight loss.

In order to keep his weight, Yan Liting once caught live earthworms in school, washed them with clean water and swallowed them with boiled water. At first, he could feel earthworms crawling in his stomach. I mistakenly think that earthworms can wriggle in the body like pinworms to achieve slimming effect.

Xiao Dunren, vice president of the Obesity Research Association of the Republic of China, said that earthworms and pinworms cannot be confused. Earthworms live in soil, not parasites. Enterobius vermicularis is a parasite, which will live in the human body and absorb nutrients. In addition, the human body has extremely strong gastric acid, and swallowing earthworm will cause short-term diarrhea, but earthworm will be eroded by gastric acid immediately and cannot have long-term effects. Although pinworm can absorb nutrition, the host is prone to abdominal pain, diarrhea, anemia, malnutrition and other symptoms, and even pinworm crawling into human organs such as liver, lung and heart can cause fatal diseases.
