Specialist Doctor 2 Huynh Tan Vu, Day Treatment Unit - University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City - Branch 3, said that beetroot is a nutritious food, containing a lot of folate. In addition to folate, beetroot also contains iron, potassium, vitamin C, vitamin A, magnesium, manganese, potassium, bioflavonoids, beta-carotene and fiber.

Beetroot is classified as a vegetable with a relatively high nitrate content compared to other vegetables. Poisoning related to vegetables in general, including beetroot, is nitrate poisoning (common in children).

Some unwanted side effects if you eat too much beetroot

According to Dr. Vu, in general, using beetroot as food is safe and has no major side effects. However, eating too much beetroot can cause some side effects.

Oxalates interfere with the absorption of nutrients, increasing the risk of kidney stones. Beets contain high levels of oxalates, a substance that contributes to the formation of kidney stones. In addition, oxalates also act as antinutrients, hindering the absorption of nutrients.

Indigestible. Beets contain FODMAPs in the form of fructans. These are short-chain carbohydrates that act as food for gut bacteria. FODMAPs can cause some unpleasant digestive symptoms in sensitive people, such as those with irritable bowel syndrome.

Beetroot contains high levels of oxalate.

Pink urine. This condition is so common that there is a medical term for it, beeturia. Beeturia can come and go depending on the amount of pigment in the beetroot or the form in which it is consumed, as well as the amount of iron needed by the body.

Black stools. The red pigment in beets can cause stools to appear black or streaked with red when passing stools.

"Beets are a food that provides many nutrients for the body, however, it is necessary to consider using them appropriately to avoid harmful effects. To have a balanced and reasonable diet, there is a simple principle: do not eat too much of one thing, eat a variety of foods to create balance and adequate nutrition...", Dr. Vu recommends.
