10 Everyday Foods That Can KILL You
10. HONEY
Natural honey contains a poisonous toxin called pyrrolizidine alkaloids. Eating just a teaspoon of unpasteurized honey can lead to headaches, dizziness, weakness and vomiting that can last up to 24 hours. It is possible that more than one teaspoon can kill.
9. POTATOES
Potatoes have both poisonous stems and leaves. Most potato-related death deaths come from eating green potatoes or drinking\potato leaf tea.
8. TOMATOES
The juicy, red fruit contains a poison, glycoalkaloid, in its leaves which is known for causing upset stomachs, severe cramping, and anxiety. So steer clear of the leaves and stems.
7. RED KIDNEY BEANS
Red kidney beans contain toxins called lectins, which essentially kill the cells in your stomach. The only way to enjoy red kidney beans without this harmful toxin is by preparing them just right. Soaking the beans in water for at least five hours before consumption. Otherwise, eating as much as a half a cup of raw red kidney beans can make you seriously ill.
6. ALMONDS
This seed (nut) may pack in many health benefits but they are also potentially full of poison. Bitter almonds, while in their raw form, are full of cynaide. They need to go through a specialized heat treatment (more than oven roasting) in order to remove the toxins.
5. APPLES
Apple is nature's candy, but stay away from the seeds (as well as the bark and leaves). They contain amygdalin, a compound that produces cyanide. Large doses can lead to dizziness and vomiting, increased blood pressure, kidney failure, coma, and even death.
4. RHUBARB
Rhubarb leaves, are not supposed to use in baking or cooking. It contain oxalic acid, which causes kidney stones. It also cause breathing trouble, seizures, kidney failure, and in some cases, death.
3. PEANUTS
One of the most common allergies is to peanuts. The most severe response is anaphylaxis which can lead to severe constriction of the airways, shock, and even loss of consciousness. It is dangerous enough to cause death if left untreated, so know your allergies.
2. CASHEWS
When you see “raw cashews” at the store, know that they are lying to you. Those “raw” cashews have been steamed to remove a chemical called urushiol, which is also found in poison ivy. Consuming actual raw cashews can prove fatal, especially for people with an allergy to poison ivy. So if you ever come across cashews in nature for some reason, don’t eat them.
1. MUSHROOMS
Not every mushroom is created equal. Cremini mushrooms might make perfect pasta toppers. But some species contain poisons that can kill.
