Fruit combinations
Although these are a great source of vitamins, they mostly have large amounts of sugar, so it is recommended to consume them alone. Fruit mixes in smoothies or fruit salads can be harmful.

Coffee with cola drinks
This mixture is one of the most harmful, since caffeine, which is a neurological stimulant, is present in both products.

In addition to cola drinks, coffee can also be dangerous when combined with energy drinks, as caffeine is much more present, which can double the risk.

Green Juices
Although vegetables are one of the foods that have the greatest benefit for the body when combined, the excess of these in mixtures such as green juices or so-called 'detox' can be harmful.
These green juices, which are present in cleansing diets, mix all kinds of vegetables that contain the same value of antioxidant minerals and vitamins that can be found in normal foods.
The mixture of vegetables such as beets, cucumbers, cabbage and spinach can increase the risk of suffering from pathologies such as kidney stones.

Pineapple with dairy
Whether in yogurt or milk, dairy is a common mix with fruits. They are usually used with sweet or acidic fruits such as pineapple or orange. But the truth is that these combinations may not be so good for your health.
The acidic nature of fruits combined with proteins such as lactose can change the intestinal flora, produce toxins, alter metabolism, and even cause diarrhea and vomiting.
