For people whose eyes are bigger than their stomachs, a big meal with lots of different tastes usually satisfies. But some foods do
not go with others. When the mix is wrong, people will not be able to assimilate the nutrients in the food. Sometimes there are risks
of more serious side effects.
Crabs and persimmons are a well-known example. When the two are eaten together, they cause diarrhea.
Li Hongyan, a senior nutritionist from Shanghai Tongmai Food Co Ltd, suggests that when mixing different foods, people have to look
out for those that might result in bad reactions.
She offers some tips.

Bean curd and spinach
When bean curd and spinach are eaten at the same time, they affect absorption of calcium and may lead to blockages in the abdomen.
Spinach contains oxalic acid, which can react with the calcium in bean curd in the intestines and form insoluble precipitates of
calcium oxalate. The foods taken together affect the absorption of calcium.
Bean curd and green onion
The combination of bean curd and green onions may affect the absorption of calcium. Bean curd contains plenty of nutrition like
protein and calcium. But green onions contain a great deal of oxalic acid. When calcium meets oxalic acid, the calcium oxalate they
form destroys calcium. If one eats bean curd mixed with green onions over a long time, it can lead to a lack of calcium causing
spasms, osteomalacia and fractures.
Milk and chocolate
Believe it or not, milk and chocolate do not match. While milk is rich in protein and calcium, chocolate contains oxalic acid. Eaten
together, the calcium from milk and the oxalic acid of chocolate can combine and form insoluble calcium oxalate, which is not only
indigestible but also can cause diarrhea.
Milk and pomelo
The protein in milk can react with the fruit acids in pomelos and make one's stomach feel bloated. The acid can also over-stimulate
the stomach and cause diarrhea.
Lactic acid drink and ham
Many people like having a sandwich with yogurt. However, ham and bacon in sandwiches, when taken with yogurt, could cause cancer. To
extend the preservation of meat products, producers add nitrate to prevent decay and botulinus. But when nitrate meets organic acid,
it can turn into nitrosamine, a carcinogen.
Soy milk and egg
Soy milk contains nutrition including vegetable proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. If drunk by itself, it is very
nourishing. However, if taken together with eggs, it can reduce the activity of protease, which helps the body assimilate protein.
Eggs are, of course, very rich in protein.

Mutton is a "hot" food, while vinegar is "warm" and like alcohol. When the two are cooked together, they can over-activate yang energy
and the circulation. According to Compendium of Materia Medica, a book on Chinese herbal medicine, eating mutton and vinegar at the
same time harms the heart.
