Pumpkin is a commonly eaten vegetable, rich in vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber and phytochemicals. Normal daily consumption is not harmful. However, long-term consumption in large quantities can lead to carotenoid xanthosis, a yellowing of the skin. In severe cases, it can also be a burden on the liver, and even liver disease can occur. Pumpkin contains more starch than other vegetables, and people with poor blood sugar or diabetes should not eat more of it, or eat it instead of staple foods to prevent blood sugar from rising. Also, people with poor gastrointestinal motility should not eat too much, so as not to make it difficult for the stomach and intestines to digest, causing bloating, burping, abdominal pain and other uncomfortable symptoms, and in serious cases, may also lead to diarrhea. Some patients are allergic to pumpkin and may have allergic reactions after consumption, such as itchy skin, sneezing, runny nose, etc. Pumpkin is warm and hot, so patients suffering from tinea pedis, jaundice, as well as bad breath, gastric ulcer, acute and chronic gastritis should not consume it for a long time and in excess, as it may aggravate the disease and is not conducive to recovery.
