Coffee, changing blood type is no longer a dream
Xinhua London, April 2 (Reporter GE Qiufang) an international research team has made a breakthrough in blood group transformation research, and they have found two enzymes that can effectively convert type A, B and AB blood into type O blood.
An international team led by Henryk Clausen, a scientist at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, reported in the latest issue of the journal Nature Biology that researchers have found two new glycosidases in bacteria that can change blood types.
A person's blood type depends on the presence or lack of glycosyl antigens "A" and "B" in red blood cells. Type O red blood cells have neither A nor B antigens, so type O blood can be safely transfused to anyone. However, type A, B and AB blood have different antigens, which can lead to life-threatening immune responses if given to people with different blood types.
In the 1980s, scientists found an enzyme in coffee beans that could be used to peel off the B antigen of red blood cells. Early clinical trials have shown that transformed blood can be safely transfused to people of different blood types, but the enzyme is inefficient and cannot transform a large amount of blood in a short period of time.
Clausen's team identified 2500 extracts from bacteria or fungi to study their ability to peel off An and B antigens. The researchers found that two bacterial glycosidases can strip off An or B antigens from type A, B and AB blood, which means that all blood types can be changed.
The researchers hope that the two enzymes will not only improve the instability of the global blood supply, but also improve the safety of blood transfusion. They plan to continue clinical trials on the safety and efficacy of blood types that change their blood type.

Alcohol, coffee and tea should not be mixed.
In life, dinner and entertainment are inevitable. But improper wine, coffee, tea mismatch, accidentally may make a common food with taboos, affecting health. Beer with liquor: beer contains a lot of carbon dioxide, easy to volatilize, if you drink with liquor, it will drive alcohol penetration. Some people often drink liquor with beer, which is inappropriate.

Drink less coffee and coke if you have hemorrhoids
The winter climate is cold and dry, and people like to eat spicy food and all kinds of supplements, resulting in the attack of hemorrhoids in many people. From a medical point of view, adjusting diet is an important factor to prevent hemorrhoids, reduce symptoms and reduce recurrence. If you have hemorrhoids, you should not be too meticulous in your diet. You should eat more foods rich in fiber, which can increase gastrointestinal peristalsis, soften feces and do not accumulate.
