According to research, eating too much ripe jackfruit in a short time can cause the body to absorb a large amount of fructose and glucose, leading to fermentation in the intestines, thereby producing Pethanol - a natural alcohol. If the body cannot metabolize in time, this ethanol can cause alcohol concentration in breath or blood to increase slightly, even exceeding the threshold prescribed in some test cases.
Fruits with high sugar content such as ripe jackfruit, bananas, grapes... can undergo fermentation in the stomach when consumed in large quantities, especially if eaten at an empty time or with a weak digestive system. There has been a phenomenon known as "etat biological" a phenomenon in which the body produces alcohol from naturally fermented foods in the intestines.
How to avoid violating alcohol concentration after eating ripe jackfruit:
Eat in moderation: Do not eat more than 200300g of ripe jackfruit/time.
Do not eat when hungry or after strenuous exercise: Because the digestion process is fast, it can easily cause fermentation.
Combine with protein or fiber such as drinking water, eating with yogurt or nuts to slow down the absorption of sugar.
In addition to the above methods, there is another way, which is not to eat ripe jackfruit near the time of driving or check alcohol concentration, to avoid false results.
According to the World Health Organization, controlling sugar intake not only helps stabilize endogenous alcohol concentration but also limits the risk of diabetes and obesity. Thus, eating ripe jackfruit properly not only helps to take advantage of nutrients such as vitamin C, potassium, antioxidants, but also does not have an adverse impact on blood alcohol concentration test results.
