Can eating raw eggplant help you lose weight?

Can eating raw eggplant really help you lose weight?

Notice

Experts pointed out: "The most important thing is that eating raw eggplant is easy to cause poisoning. Raw eggplant contains a toxin called solanine, and sprouted potatoes also contain more of this substance. Generally, part of solanine will decompose when exposed to heat. Usually, eggplant is cooked by steaming, stewing and other cooking methods to decompose it and remove the toxicity." The harm of a very small amount of solanine to the human body may not be obvious, but if too much solanine is eaten at one time, symptoms such as itching in the mouth and throat and upper abdominal pain may appear after 15 minutes to 3 hours. If the symptoms are mild, they will heal themselves through their own detoxification function after 1-2 hours. If the amount eaten exceeds the range of the self-detoxification function, the symptoms will be very severe, manifested as fever, repeated vomiting, and even difficulty breathing, blood pressure drop and many other discomfort symptoms.

hint

Not all vegetables can be eaten raw. Some vegetables can easily cause poisoning or even produce carcinogens when eaten raw. Generally speaking, the content of solanine is higher in old raw eggplants. If you eat tender ones and eat less, you may not experience obvious acute poisoning symptoms.
