Side effects of bitter almonds
The effect and function of bitter almond
1, antitussive, antiasthmatic effects
Bitter almonds contain amygdalin, which can be hydrolyzed in the body by enteric microbial enzymes or bitter amygdalin contained in bitter almonds, producing trace amounts of hydrocyanic acid and benzaldehyde that have an inhibitory effect on the respiratory center and reach the town. Cough and asthma.
2, the role of the digestive system
Almonds taste bitter and rich in fatty oils. Fat oil can improve the lubrication of the intestinal contents on the mucosa, so the almonds have the function of laxative.
3, anti-inflammatory, analgesic effect
The benzaldehyde benzoin condensing enzyme produced by the decomposition of amygdalin acts to form benzoin. Benzoin has analgesic effect, so people in China who use bitter almonds to treat advanced liver cancer can relieve the pain of patients, and some do not even need to take painkillers.
4, anti-tumor effect
The research on the anti-tumor mechanism of almonds mainly includes the following aspects.
1 Some scholars believe that cancer cells contain a large amount of β-glucosidase, which hydrolyzes amygdalin to produce hydrocyanic acid (HCN), benzaldehyde and glucose. Since cancer cells lack a thionitrile-producing enzyme, this enzyme has a detoxifying effect on HCN, making HCN a nontoxic tosylate, whereas normal cells lack a β-glucosidase and contain a large amount of a thiononitrile generating enzyme. According to this theory, amygdalin should be able to selectively kill cancer cells while being almost harmless to normal cells.
2 Amygdalin can help the body trypsin digestion of the clear mucin membrane of cancer cells, so that the white blood cells in the body more accessible to cancer cells, and engulf cancer cells.
3 It was found that amygdalin-like NaSCN and NaOCN can affect the absorption of thymidine into hepatoma cells DNA and tumor cells for phosphate and amino acid absorption.
5, hypoglycemic effect
Amygdalin has the effect of preventing and treating diabetes caused by an antitumor agent, alloxan. Aurea-induced hyperglycemia in mice proved that blood glucose was measured after intraperitoneal injection of 3 g/kg amygdalin for 48 hours. The results showed that amygdalin can specifically inhibit blood sugar elevation caused by alloxan, and the intensity of action and pain in the blood The concentration of amygdalin is related.
6, hypolipidemic effect
According to clinical reports, large almonds can significantly reduce blood lipid levels in patients with high blood lipids, and Spiller (1990) believes that monounsaturated fatty acids in almonds can help reduce mildly elevated blood lipids in patients and do not require strict diet restrictions.
7, the role of beauty
According to the theory of lung combined fur, clinically certain skin diseases can be treated with Xuanfei method and compatibility with edible almonds. Modern studies have shown that the fatty oil contained in bitter almonds can soften the skin's stratum corneum, moisturize skin care, protect the nerve endings, blood vessels and tissues, and kill bacteria. In addition, HCN generated by the enzymatic hydrolysis inhibits active tyrosinase in the body and eliminates pigmentation, freckles, dark spots, etc., thereby achieving a cosmetic effect.
8, other roles
Amygdalin has antimutagenic effects and can reduce the number of micronuclear polychromatic red blood cells caused by metamizole, metronidazole, mitomycin C, and the like.
The bitter almond oil also has anthelmintic and bactericidal effects. In vitro tests have killing effects on human aphids and cockroaches and antibacterial effects on typhoid and paratyphoid bacillus. Almonds also have anti-worm and trichomoniasis infections to treat aplastic anemia.
Bitter Almonds
Almonds bitter temperature Xuanfei, laxative, only suitable for wind evil, intestinal dry and other empirical problems. Everyone who suffers from yin deficiency and turbid fire should not take long-term oral administration of a single herb. Such as tuberculosis, bronchitis, chronic enteritis, dry cough without sputum embolism taboo monotherapy long service.
