There is no shortage of scientific work devoted to the non -kikes that are formed by kaks. An example would be the publication of Italian researchers from 1958, which appeared in the pages of “Minerva Medica”, as well as “Diospyrobezoar as a Cause of Small Bowel obstruction” from 2012. Where do they come from? Fitobezoars, or alleged intestinal stones, are formed as a result of the accumulation of undigested substances in the stomach, including immature and unwashed kaki fruit. Unpleasant ailments can also be caused by fiber, which is relatively much in Persymon. To avoid problems, just eat them in moderation and not reach for them every day. Who should avoid kaki?
