    Excessive consumption of litchi can cause hypoglycemia. Experts said that eating too much litchi will lead to "lyche disease", which is essentially a kind of hypoglycemia. Litchi contains a lot of fructose. After fructose is absorbed by the capillaries of the gastrointestinal mucosa, it must be converted into glucose by the invertase in the liver before it can be directly used by the human body. If lychees are ingested in excess, and too much fructose enters the human blood, the conversion enzymes that "reform" the fructose will be in short supply, causing a large amount of fructose to fill the blood vessels but not be converted into glucose, causing the human blood glucose (glucose) content to be much lower than normal This in turn causes hypoglycemia.
