Dangerous and harmful foods in myelogenous leukemia

Reduce fat intake. It is absolutely forbidden to eat foods that contain beef and lamb fat (tallow). Fats clog blood vessels, as a result of which blood clots form, and the already disturbed blood circulation is disturbed.
Do not take caffeine (tea, coffee, Coca-Cola, etc.), it interferes with the absorption of iron.
The effect of vinegar is also detrimental - it destroys blood cells.
Alcohol and smoking: the former disrupts the blood clotting process, and nicotine reduces the permeability of blood vessels.
Curry, ginger, oregano, paprika, thyme, licorice, cranberry and viburnum fruits - all of them belong to the group of products that cut the blood (reduce clotting). This is dangerous for people suffering from myelogenous leukemia (often they also have anemia, bleeding gums).
