Top 20 Foods That Can Literally Kill You

[@WatchMojo]

Which of these foods do you avoid? Let us know in the comments!

[@Beyond1904]

I’d avoid any bug, alive animal, dog or cats. Those are disgusting. I’d also avoid poisonous stuff like puffer fish. Also why does it say 3 days ago? KZbin is going places.

[@Am_Cookie2436]

[@John-oh8nq]

All of them

[@insanecowstar3008]

Whenever I watch stuff like this I wonder, historically, how many unlucky people did society have to go through before someone figured out how to eat these foods safely.

[@oliverf.68]

Well the most primitive cultures of humanity did most of the figuring, at least in the places where they lived, centuries later their descendants already know what was good or wasn't, problem is, migration, when men started to travel to distant lands for trade or conquer they were presented with stuff new to them so unless they had locals telling them what was good or bad they were on their own.

[@Miniskirt29]

All of them

[@demigough7934]

Well in the case of the crazy shit like fugu, not enough apparently

[@trishaann1616]

I was wondering the same thing. I wonder how many babies died because of honey. My mom use to give me some kind of horrible tasting home meds and add honey or sugar so I could swallow it. My mom was a great mom, but she did once have me blow into a kids mouth thinking I could cure him of trash mouth because I'm the 7th child of a 7th child. Idk but it probably didn't work. 😣

[@lauverr3808]

Same! I wonder that too, like how many people had to die for them to figure it out. It's scary.

I'm sick and tired of people that tells me to "just cut the green parts off the potato and you can eat it". The green part is chlorophyll, solanin does not have any color. If you don't keep potatoes in the dark, the amount of both solanin and chlorophyll will rise, the latter will make it green, and that's an indication that there's too much solanin in the entire potato.

Literally every kind of food can kill you. It varies depending of the amount of it you consume. For some, it would need a crazy among, while in others just a few g would be enough. For example, you can literally die from drinking too much water. In that particular case, your insides would not be able to absorve the minerals and vitamines you need because of drinking too much water (or any liquid for that matter. Yes, it would take a crazy amount of water to cause that effect, but its still possible. Too much of anything, no matter how healphy it is, can and will hurt you.
