do you eat some peanut butter or something yeah you sound like a dog with peanut butter on the
roof of your mouth believe it or not mundane looking foods could be plodding against you
so to stay alert here are more of the top 20 foods that can literally kill you
part two that is not food don't do that again chicken george likes his chicken spicy this
also shouldn't come as a shock when you eat chicken it needs to be well cooked at least if
you don't want to get sick poultry often serves as a source for all kinds of food poisoning the most
notable ones being salmonella and campylobacter in order to get rid of those bacteria you need to
cook your chicken at a minimum of 165 degrees in japan however there is such a thing as raw
chicken sashimi and it's quite popular nothing but a little chicken nonetheless eating raw
chicken is not recommended and is considered one of the main causes of many foodborne illnesses
blood clams in that case certainly i advise against the lady no clam chowder thank you
seafood enthusiasts this one's for you you're not actually cultured everywhere from south
africa to northern japan blood clams aren't exactly the friendliest clams you'll ever meet
sorry sir since they live in low oxygen environments it makes them more likely
to absorb an array of harmful viruses and bacteria like hepatitis a typhoid and dysentery restaurants
usually boil the clams until most of the microbes are gone but ultimately it's impossible to get
rid of all of the nastiness your best bet just steer clear of blood clams tomatoes
taste like cigarette butts do you remember the time you found out tomatoes weren't a vegetable
but a fruit well today we're here to tell you that tomatoes could also potentially kill you
but don't worry just yet it doesn't have anything to do with the actual red juicy
pulp and flesh no the risk comes from the stem and leaves of the tomato they contain a poison
called glycoalkaloid known for causing upset stomachs severe cramping and anxiety and can be
toxic if eaten in large amounts but as long as you steer clear of those your tomato should
be good to go i mean for a product that's evil and deadly eggs how many did you eat
you've heard it once and you'll hear it again eating raw eggs is never a good idea yes many
people put them in their smoothies or down one as part of their morning routine but it's
not the safest of habits you're allergic to eggs eggs are rich sources of protein and packed with
nutrients when they're cooked but raw you have a greater chance of consuming harmful bacteria
about 1 in 20 000 eggs contains salmonella which is pretty rare but still not odds you want to
mess with to avoid fever cramps and all that jazz just cook your eggs unpasteurized cheese
dangerously cheesy all kinds of cheese are good hard soft shredded melted we don't discriminate
the only kind of cheese we might have a problem with is the unpasteurized kind
these cheeses can be pretty dangerous for your health especially for those who are pregnant
unpasteurized cheese is the same as unpasteurized milk it can carry various bacteria such as
salmonella e coli listeria campylobacter and so many more foodborne illnesses for safety reasons
the fda banned unpasteurized cheese from being sold and exported i can't even ignore the cheese
this is why raw cheeses like camembert aren't available in the us
and we only have the fake kind which obviously cannot compare to the real thing processed meats
max club sandwich and heads up i lost a band-aid everybody loves a good sandwich but because
everything good has to have a bad side processed meats aren't your best option that's because they
contain a lot of chemical compounds that are not present in fresh meat and these can be
very harmful to your health having a diet with a lot of processed meat products in it can increase
your risk of chronic disease especially cancer in fact bacon and other meats containing a lot
of nitrites and nitrates have been linked to colon cancer a little cold cut sandwich here and there
shouldn't hurt too much just make sure not to make this your everyday go-to sandwich filler
you know what keeps going through my head where's my sandwich peanuts i'm allergic to peanut butter
since when birth out of every allergy known to man a peanut allergy has got to be one of the most
common and deadliest of all for some people with a peanut allergy even the tiniest amount or trace
of peanuts can cause a severe life-threatening reaction with the most extreme being anaphylaxis
anaphylaxis can lead to significant constriction of the airways shock loss of consciousness
and if left untreated death that was a peanut butter sandwich are you not good with peanuts
milder symptoms include skin reactions itching or tingling throat and digestive problems whether
the reaction is triggered by direct contact cross-contamination or inhalation medical care
should be sought immediately rice snake rice wine now that's disgusting wine made of rice what most
people don't know about their favorite starchy food is that it can contain a concerning amount of
arsenic surprisingly enough the highest levels of the toxin are usually found in brown rice and the
lowest in instant rice arsenic won't poison you all at once it would be pretty hard to eat that
much rice in a day but it's in the long run that it can be harmful to the rice right now consistent
exposure can lead to heart disease and many cancers so just beware of how much rice you eat
lychee lychees oh my god lychee has become the ultimate fruit for summer as well as the go-to
flavor for treats for many people and while more often than not it's perfectly safe to eat there
are some exceptions they should never be eaten unless they are fully ripe this is because they
can be poisonous even fatal sometimes since the toxins can block the body's production of sugar
this can cause hypoglycemia and changes in brain function fever nausea and convulsions especially
on an empty stomach why did i eat 12 of them why as long as they are ripe and you are not fasting
lychees should be perfectly safe to eat tuna if i were a lion and you were a tuna i would swim
out in the middle of the ocean and freaking eat you every sushi fanatic out there knows how tuna
just hits different it might be a guilty pleasure for many but not everyone is aware of the dangers
indulging in the fish can bring it's not news that children and pregnant women should stay away from
raw fish like tuna but why exactly it all has to do with the high risk of mercury poisoning we have
reason to believe you have eaten poison poison if mercury is ingested it will act as a neurotoxin
and could cause itching pain high blood pressure and other dangerous symptoms however it's not
only found in raw tuna although it is the riskiest one canned tuna is often the most common source of
mercury in people's diet if tuna salad is your fave you might want to switch things up a bit
ackey one bite what's the big deal you don't eat the fruit aki or anki is a pinkish plant usually
used to create some out of this world dishes like ackee and saltfish jamaica's national dish
however this strange looking ingredient should never be consumed before fully ripening being in
the same family as lychee unripe ackee contains toxic levels of hypoglycemia a which can result
in seizures hypoglycemia and even death i've had issues with food in the past and while you're at
it stay away from the seeds as well acke is so dangerous it was banned in the u.s until 2005.
today the fda accepts some shipments only they have to be very low in toxin levels casual marzu
you're eating maggots how do they taste cheese is usually a great
harmless addition to your meals the key word here is usually there are other times when cheese
can be a little less wonderful and a little scary that's exactly the case with kasu marzu
a rare illegal cheese from sardinia also known as rotting cheese or maggot cheese
kasumarzu is an old delicacy made from sheep's milk fermented with a live
fly larvae if the ingredients weren't enough to turn you off maybe this will it's sour the aftest
stays for hours the maggots sometimes survive in your intestine which can lead to unwanted
parasitic infestations and an array of unpleasant symptoms let's just leave it at that lima beans
beans in general are known to have many health benefits and to be a good addition to your diet
most of the time they are but that's assuming you know how to prepare them properly otherwise it's
just a catastrophe waiting to happen lima beans in particular need to be thoroughly
cooked and drained in order to be safe for consumption lima beans contain a chemical
compound called linomarin which when consumed and decomposed can turn into hydrogen cyanide
another highly toxic component that attacks the brain the heart the blood vessels and the
lungs just make sure they are always cooked to perfection better safe than sorry margarine i
can't believe it's not bother while it seems like the perfect backup plan for when you don't want to
consume all the fats found in butter margarine isn't as innocent as it leads people to believe
indeed most margarine brands are extremely high in hydrogenated oils which are full of trans fats
trans fats have been associated with increasing the risk for several health issues
including heart disease cancer and other chronic conditions what is my purpose you pass butter
oh my god even though it does pack some health friendly nutrients if we look at the
big picture the good doesn't outweigh the bad very often fruit seeds whoa whoa whoa
don't tell me you're thinking about eating the forbidden fruit that's exactly what i'm thinking
bad news for fruit lovers they might not be as safe as you thought at least not the ones that
have seeds so fruits like apples peaches pears mangoes cherries and apricot could actually be
the death of you thanks to their harmless looking seeds how do you like them that's because they
contain amygdalin another compound that produces cyanide if ingested in large quantity it could
lead to dizziness vomiting kidney failure coma and well death thankfully though you would need to eat
an uncommonly absurd amount of seeds and pits to see any real reaction but still bean sprouts
for a nice refreshing salad or a comforting stew bean sprouts are the peak of versatile vegetables
while they can be enjoyed both raw and cooked you need to be extra careful when you consume them
right out of the bag just like with any other produce that's consumed raw or lightly cooked
sprouts are a stomping ground for foodborne illness which is impossible to get rid of unless
you cook them the warm and moist conditions needed to grow sprouts put them in perfect
conditions for the rapid growth of bacteria including salmonella listeria and e coli
want some over the years many outbreaks sometimes deadly have been associated with bean sprouts
which is why it's best to eat them cooked star fruit what is this fruit called
that's a star fruit star fruit the colorful yellow fruit is often used as an herbal remedy
to treat many health problems they help to reduce fevers lower blood pressure soothe
headaches and even relieve hangovers however these benefits are only good for certain people
if you happen to suffer from any type of kidney disease you might want to avoid star fruit why
because the substances found in it can affect the brain and cause serious neurological disorders
those with healthy kidneys will process and pass this toxin from their bodies no problem
but with kidney disease the toxin will simply stay in the body and lead to serious problems
like confusion seizures and even death in some cases cassava speaking of melons there's a cassava
not a lot of people know about cassava and yet its popularity has drastically grown in the last
few years this is mostly thanks to the bubble tea craze that's been going around indeed those
little tapioca bobas at the bottom of your cup are made from cassava root cassava flour has also
become a very popular gluten-free alternative why does frank keep a casaba melon in the safe
i don't know but he flips out if i go anywhere near the thing the only problem the leaves and
roots contain chemicals that can convert to cyanide in the body if not prepared properly
as we've seen before cyanide poisoning can have some serious repercussions on the body and lead to
certain paralysis conditions cassava needs to be peeled and cooked thoroughly before it's consumed
otherwise you're looking at some significant damages elderberries your mother was a hamster
and your father's smelt of elderberries at first glance elderberries might seem completely harmless
but don't be fooled when they're not ripe they might as well be swapped with the nightlock
berries from the hunger games usually elderberries can be quite helpful to boost your immune system
as they are packed with vitamins and antioxidants and can even help relieve stress and protect your
heart that is when they are cooked and right okay okay okay raw elderberries can cause
nausea vomiting and all kinds of other symptoms and that's not even considering the poisonous
leaves stems and roots so a piece of advice always cook your berries before you eat them plus cooking
them apparently improves the taste castor oil what about people who say you're only interested in the
middle east for oil what nowadays it feels like castor oil is used in everything from
soaps to plastic to food additives you just can't escape the darn stuff however since
castor oil comes from the castor bean plant you should be careful about how much you ingest
it is loaded with ricin a toxic enzyme that can cause nausea cramps dizziness and muscle weakness
the heat applied during the oil extraction will usually deactivate the enzyme but if left unheated
