The "protagonist" of "parasite diet" is tapeworm. After swallowing, the worm will parasitize the human intestine, which is similar in shape to the intestinal wall, and it will absorb the nutrients delivered to the intestine. But after all, it is a parasite, and its side effects will cause rejection, sometimes diarrhea, vomiting and loss of appetite, which will lead to poor health. This method of losing weight is very popular in Japan.
Surprisingly, this "unique" "parasite diet" is still popular, and many people still try it. So is this method of losing weight feasible?
In fact, as early as 20 10, the Hong Kong Department of Health retorted that there was no scientific basis for this diet and appealed to the public not to take it. According to the data of the Department of Health, food products containing parasites can cause abdominal pain, bloating, vomiting, diarrhea and malnutrition after eating. Parasites may also cause serious complications, such as obstruction of intestine, bile duct and pancreatic duct, and even invasion of lungs. If parasites appear in the body, they need to be removed by drugs; If the internal organs are blocked, surgery may be needed.
It is reported that a 23-year-old woman tried to lose weight by eating parasites taught on the Internet in order to have a devil figure. Half a month later, instead of losing weight, she was admitted to the hospital because of abdominal pain and diarrhea. After examination by the doctor, she found that there were more than ten ascaris in her body.
