The danger of the orange
However, the expert added that oranges, like any citrus fruit, are a strong allergen. If consumed in large quantities, they can cause allergic reactions and even anaphylactic shock. In addition, in case of gastrointestinal diseases, you should be careful about eating oranges on an empty stomach.
