Be Careful! This 5 Food Are Actually Poisonous For Us To Eat

Eat, eat, and eat. Almost our entire lives are spent chewing and eating. Right? If we are not eating, the body begins to become weak because of a lack of nutrition.

Actually, it is not wrong to eat, but you need to know the right portion for the body. This is because the food will be converted into energy and if excessive it can be dangerous to health.

While eating, do you know that there are some foods that were actually harmful to the body? If you do not know, here is the list:

1. Tomato


As we all know, tomatoes are very nutritious because of the nutritional and vitamin content that benefits the body’s health. But despite their nutritional value, tomatoes can also be a food that is harmful to you.

Some parts of tomatoes can be dangerous and poisonous when you eat the leaves, roots, and stems. These parts contain a toxin called tomatine.

2. Apple


“An apple a day keeps the doctor away”, it is true but at the same time, this apple can be poison to you. The part of the apple that contains the poison is on the seed. These apple seeds contain amygdalin which is loaded with the deadly poison cyanide.

Not just one meal can be fatal. Apple seeds can be fatal if a person swallows more than 20 apples. So, do not try to eat the seeds if you do not want to be life-threatening.

3. Asparagus


Asparagus is very popular for its high mineral and fiber content. Only young asparagus stems are safe to eat.
But there are some parts that you need to avoid, namely the bright red fruit actually contains poison. After eating it, some people may experience severe vomiting and diarrhea.

4. Cashew nuts


Very popular to eat as a snack and used in cooking, cashew nuts contain a variety of sources of fiber, unsaturated fat, and minerals. If you look at the market, these cashew nuts are never sold with their skin.

This is because cashew nuts contain phenolic lipids, cardanol, and anacardic acid which contain toxins that are harmful to humans.

5. Pufferfish

When the pufferfish feels threatened, it will start to inflate like a balloon. This pufferfish is well known for its toxin tetrodotoxin. But some people like to eat this fish, isn’t it weird?

This pufferfish poison is 12 thousand times more dangerous than cyanide and it is the most dangerous animal. In Japan, pufferfish is a very special food because it is low in fat and rich in protein.
