Foods that are harmful, even death!

 

 

 

People eat thousands of types of food including rice, fish, meat, vegetables. However, there are a number of foods that can be harmful to the body. Although many of these foods may seem safe at first glance, they can become toxic due to special reasons or special conditions, can be harmful to the human body.

There are some foods that can kill people instantly. Although the damage caused by certain foods is not immediately understood, it can harm the body in the long run.

Here are some of the foods that can cause harm to our body.

Chelonodon

Patka fish or puffer fish is a very popular fish among the people of several countries including Bangladesh, China, Japan, Korea. But if this fish is not processed properly, it can kill people in a few hours.

This is because it contains a toxic substance called turotoxin, which is many times more effective than cyanide.

Before eating this fish, the toxic part of the body of the fish should be separated. He said that the fish may not be harmful, but if the poisonous part remains in the body of the fish and it enters the human stomach, it can paralyze the person in a short time - it can even cause death.

Mushrooms

 

Mushrooms are a popular and nutritious food in many countries of the world. Scientists have found that mushrooms are beneficial in lowering blood pressure, fighting against tumor cells, for diabetics, relieving constipation, increasing digestion, and fighting diseases such as arthritis.

However, there are thousands of species of mushrooms in nature and many of them can cause harm to the human body. For example, there are more than 10,000 species of mushrooms in North America alone. If taken as food, 20 percent of them can make people sick. And one percent can kill people instantly.

Among the different varieties of mushrooms, 8-10 varieties are cultivated in Bangladesh. But there are many varieties of mushrooms found in Bangladesh, especially wild mushrooms, which can often prove to be toxic and harmful to the body.

Dhaka University Institute of Nutrition and Food Science Professor. Khaleda Islam says, 'Other mushrooms outside the known species, especially wild mushrooms should never be eaten. Because mushrooms are good for the body but not all mushrooms are good. On the contrary, many mushrooms can cause serious damage.

"Wild mushrooms, especially known as frog umbrellas, contain a type of fungus that can be harmful to the liver and kidneys," he said.

Indian pea

 

Besides lentils and mugdals, khesari pulses are also on the food list of many people in Bangladesh. However, experts say that these pulses may contain a type of alanine amino acid called BOAA, which produces toxic neurotoxins. This acid can cause 'neuro-laterism' or neurological paralysis.

The symptoms of this disease often appear suddenly. This can lead to difficulty walking and unbearable pain or numbness in the legs. In this regard, nutritionist Ayesha Siddique said, this disease can be caused by eating khesari pulses for a long time.

Potato

 

When roots are born in potatoes, a substance called glycoalkaloids is formed there. In particular, this type of material is born if the potato is left for a long time. Many times the leaves or stems of the tree also contain this element. In particular, the red sediment that is formed when the roots grow on the potato contains more of this material.

Shamsunnahar Nahid, chief nutritionist at Bardem Hospital, said that if these glycoalkaloids enter the body, it can lead to death. It can also cause diarrhea, headaches, and even coma.

It is said that if one consumes three to six milligrams of this glycoalkaloid in any way, one can die. In addition, a kind of green substance is often seen in potatoes. It is a substance called carcinogenic, which can cause cancer. This type of potato should not be eaten.

Tomato

Tomato leaves and stems contain alkali, which can be harmful to the stomach. Raw tomatoes are thought to contain this ingredient.

Nutritionist Shamsunnahar Nahid says that for this reason, raw tomatoes should not be eaten without good cooking. Because, anyone who eats too much raw tomato can get seriously ill.

Even - "There have been deaths of people eating raw tomatoes." Therefore, the leaves of the tomato tree should not be eaten in any way, he said.

Cashew nuts

There are two varieties of cashew nuts - one sweet and the other bitter. Although it is a nutritious food, experts say that bitter almonds contain a toxic substance called cyanogenic glycosides, which can be harmful to the body. Because it can produce hydrogen cyanide in the body.

Bitter almonds should not be eaten raw. Each bitter almond is said to contain six milligrams of hydrogen cyanide. If 100 mg of hydrogen cyanide enters someone's body, it may be enough to kill him.

Apple

Not really apples, apple seeds contain a small amount of cyanide. As a result, if a large amount of apple beech or beech extract enters someone's body, it can make cyanide to kill him. And cyanide is a deadly kind of poison.

Many times many people make apple juice and eat it. Then if apple juice is made with a lot of beech, then that beech can cause a deadly poison in that juice.

However, with the exception of beech, the rest of the apple has a lot of nutrients.

Raw honey

Many people like to collect broken bee hives and fresh honey. But food experts say raw honey that has not been pasteurized can cause harm to the body. This is because raw honey can contain many toxic substances, which can lead to death.

In addition, eating such honey can cause dizziness, weakness, excessive sweating and vomiting.

Raw honey contains an ingredient called granotoxin. If one teaspoon of it is taken in the stomach, these symptoms may appear mildly. But overeating can have serious consequences.

Therefore, experts advise to eat raw honey without eating it. In particular, it is important to make sure that the honey does not contain any part of the bee hive or bee.

Cassava

This dish is very popular in many countries in Africa. Cassava is not yet very popular in Bangladesh, but in some parts of the country, small-scale cultivation and consumption of cassava has started.

It can be very harmful to health.

The reason for this, he says, is that cassava leaves and roots contain a lot of cyanide. It is a toxic substance that can cause death if ingested by humans.

Pea-bean beech

Peas and beans are a very popular dish in Bangladesh. Bean sprouts are, of course, a popular food all over the world. Peas and beans contain a substance called phytohemaglutinin, which can be harmful to many.

For this reason, he suggests that before cooking, peas and bean sprouts should be boiled in water for 15 minutes and then re-cooked.

Kamranga

It is a popular fruit in Bangladesh. Ordinary people have no problem playing it. However, for those who have kidney or nervous system problems, this fruit is harmful, says nutritionist Ayesha Siddique.

Kachu

Kachu is a vegetable and its leaves are widely used as a vegetable in Bangladesh. Nutritionist Shamsunnahar Nahid says that if the kachu tree grows in the shade or grows big, a component is formed in it, which creates allergies for many.

As a result, they get itchy and swollen throat when they eat kachu. This is because kachu contains a lot of oxalate. Many times this can lead to death.

If you want to eat kachu, you have to eat lemon with it. He said that it works in coordination with Kachu oxalate.

Egg

Eating eggs is good for health - but eating raw eggs, eating half-boiled eggs, or scratching one side of an egg can be harmful to health.

This is especially harmful for pregnant mothers, she says.

Canned or processed food
Due to the busy schedule, many people now prefer to eat canned or processed foods, as these are easily prepared and can be eaten.

However, nutritionist Ayesha Siddique told BBC Bangla that if such canned food is not of good quality or there is a defect in the preparation process, it can cause problems like diarrhea, cancer etc.

In addition, sulfur is often used in foods such as dried fish, dried fruits, etc., which can be harmful to health if ingested.

Dhutra flowers and fruits

At one time this fruit was used in various Bangladeshi local medicines. But it is a very poisonous fruit and its leaves are also poisonous. In Bangladesh, of course, this tree has become very rare. -BBC.
