Safe Diet: Five Foods That Can Kill You!

 Safe Diet: Five Foods That Can Kill You!

How can a food be unhealthy? In ancient times, such ideas were prevalent, but as science progressed, it became clear that many things that we use on a daily basis can actually be quite harmful to us.

The fact is that nothing can be eaten without caution. From the selection of food to the process of cooking or preparing it, humans have, after centuries of experimentation, figured out what are the things that cannot be eaten due to toxicity or other reasons.

Without these measures, there are certain foods that can make consumers very ill, with symptoms ranging from nausea to brain damage and even death.

Four ways to avoid unhealthy foods

Restaurant food is more harmful than fast food

Poor storage or improper cooking of food can also cause symptoms such as nausea, choking or mental illness.

These are the five things that must be taken care of before eating. Rather, if you do not understand a few aspects given below, it is better not to eat these foods.

1. Puffer fish

Puffer fish can be very dangerous.

It contains tetrodotoxin which is a poisonous substance and is considered more dangerous than cyanide.

However, despite these side effects, pufferfish is considered a delicacy in some countries.

In Japan, fugu (which is the name for prepared puffer fish) is often served raw or in soup.

A chef or cook is allowed to prepare and serve this fish to customers only after years of tireless training.

The most important aspect in the preparation of this dish is that when the fugu reaches the plate, all its toxic parts, including the brain, skin, eyes, liver and intestines, have been removed.

2. Casa Marzo cheese

What makes this food unique is the hidden bugs inside it!

This picture might make you hungry, but this cheese made in Italy's Sardinian region has many fans around the world.

Caso marzo is made by infusing bee larvae into pecorino cheese. Pecornio cheese is a delicious cheese similar to Parmesan.

Over time, the tiny worms soften the cheese. When it is served to eat, it becomes almost as thick as maya in the center.

Is breakfast beneficial or harmful?

Who are the most carnivorous people in the world?

How does aging affect appetite?

It is often said to taste like Gorgonzola cheese. Gorgonzola is a creamy cheese with green waves.

Casso marzo has a rather sharp and unique flavor, with a touch of larval waste.

A few things to keep in mind before tasting it:

First, your reflexes should be such that you can catch insects. These insects can jump up to 15 cm on the plate while eating.

The second is that it is not easily found. Casso marzo is not included in the list of foods approved by the European Union. Hence it cannot be exported.

Thirdly, caso marzo is considered to be the most dangerous cheese in the world because eating it poses a health risk.

It also becomes more dangerous when the insects die because that means the item is no longer edible. But if they die from being kept in the fridge, that's a different matter and poses no particular risk.

Eating it after it's spoiled can cause an upset stomach, nausea or diarrhea.

3. rhubarb or rhubarb

Rhubarb stalks are very popular in British cuisine.

It is an important ingredient in many popular sweet dishes and drinks.

But you have to be very careful with rhubarb because the green leaves attached to the stem are poisonous.

In particular, the oxalic acid in it can cause nausea, reduced mineral absorption and kidney stones if consumed in large quantities.

That's why there is so much debate about how dangerous rhubarb leaves are.

Oxalic acid is also present in the stem but its quantity is much lower than in the leaves.

Death can occur if a person ingests large amounts of its leaves, but we still advise caution.

4. Red beans and soybeans

Beans and pulses are generally considered to be good for health, but there are some varieties that can make you sick if not cooked properly.

Red beans and soybeans fall into this category.

On the positive side, they are rich in nutrients, fiber, vitamins and minerals.

The downside is that they contain a type of fat called 'phytohemagotinin' which is not only difficult to name but also difficult to digest.

When you eat it, be prepared for stomach cramps and vomiting.

The good news is that this unpleasant condition can be avoided if you cook the beans thoroughly.

Like red beans, soybeans are also packed with protein and antioxidants.

Unfortunately, they also contain a natural toxin in the form of the enzyme trypsin, which prevents it from being fully digested.

Both should be soaked in water for at least 12 hours before cooking and then thoroughly dried and cleaned.

5. Nutmeg or nutmeg

This popular spice comes from a tree native to Indonesia.

It is an important ingredient in the preparation of various types of biscuits and delicious puddings.

Apart from sweets, it is also used in meat, vegetables and sauces and some drinks.

But if it is consumed in large quantities, it can have very bad effects. For example, nausea, pain, shortness of breath and seizures.

Indigestion from nutmeg can rarely lead to death, but it's not a particularly good experience either.

You may be asking, why would anyone eat so many spices at one time? But nutmeg has been known for centuries as a hallucinogen. Not only does it affect your mind, but it makes one's imagination fly immediately.
