Foods

They say that too much of a good thing can also be really bad for you even though most seemingly harmless things and activities can

Prove lethal if we don't consume them or practice them in

moderation because we tend to believe that what we

Encounter in our everyday lives really impose no serious threat to us some of us have the tendency to

Needlessly over indulge without considering the potential consequences it can bring to our health and overall well-being yes

I love buffets. I know and sometimes even if we know that excessively consuming something is bad for us

We tend to not care too much because that food war activity may simply be too amazing to pass up

just for your awareness We're gonna talk about seven things that if there's too much of it

It's gonna kill. You first of all pretty obvious alcohol. We already know that drinking alcohol

Can't make us feel a lot of unpleasant things while we consume it and of course the day after alcohol intoxication

blurs our vision impairs our speech lowers our

Inhibition and makes us forget things also drinking alcohol heavily in the long run can give rise to several serious

Health issues as well, which may turn out deadlier later in life

But did you know that it can also be quite lethal to drink too much alcohol too quickly

Ongina alcohol a rapid succession has cost of death of almost ninety thousand Americans between

2006 in 2012 alcohol poisoning can shut down important brain functions

And it really doesn't take much to trigger it according to a study by chemical compound an average person only really need to drink 13

Shots of 40% alcohol to die of course the certificates will depend on several factors such as a person size or gender

But those of you who loved playing drinking games with hard liquor

You know just be safe number two this may surprise you coffee

to most people an

Excellent cup of coffee is one of the simple and tiny pleasures in life that many people enjoy having on a daily basis and while

Consuming coffee does have a lot of health benefits drinking an extreme amount of this stuff could be fatal for most people consuming

400 milligrams of caffeine each day which is equal to about four cups of coffee is?

Completely harmless while consuming a bit more than 500 milligrams of caffeine does have a few negative effects on the body and this amount is

Really, not immediately deadly, but if you drink fifty to a hundred cups of coffee in a single day

That could stop your heart of course

It is pretty unlikely for a normal person that drink that much coffee in such a short period of time

But there are coffee drinking competitions that have pushed their contestants to the limits with one professional eater consuming

42 cups of coffee in just a few minutes next and this is a really delicious way to dye

Chocolate and as much as we all like to believe that you really can never have enough chocolate the sad reality

Is that yes?

You can and if you do you're doomed to suffer serious health issues and may even die now

there's a reason why you can't feed chocolate to your pets because it contains a

Toxic chemical called the Theo bromine which is potent enough to poison and kill a small

Animal and the humans are not immune to this ingredient either

But we can metabolize it better than our pet so you get to eat a lot of it without

Suffering from health problems of course just because it's so delicious and seemingly harmless that does not mean that you should try eating

Dozens of chocolate parts for one sitting so yeah?

Maybe put away the Halloween candy in fact eating as many as 85

Full-sized chocolate bars in a short amount of time could be deadly enough to kill humans

So if you want to keep eating chocolate for the rest of your life

Just indulge in moderation next in this might shock you

Bananas as one of the most popular fruits on the planet bananas have been the subject of many health-related

Rumors one of them is the misguided believed that eating more than six bananas

And one go could be poisonous bananas are a good source of potassium

Which is in essential mineral and generating electrical charge for the proper function of every cell in the human body?

That's why you really can't have too little or too much of

Potassium in your body because it's gonna bring about several health problems and because of this minerals

association with potassium chloride

Which is one of the chemicals used to implement lethal?

injections in America some health experts

See it's excessive consumption as a bad thing also add to the fact that a typical banana is known to contain radioactive

Isotopes so it's really no surprise that some people are really weary of this fruit

But in reality it is doubtful for a regular person to overdose on bananas

But if one attempted to do so it would require consuming 400 bananas in one day to absorb

Potassium levels high enough to get your heart to stop eating however patients with serious

Kidney problems are advised against consuming too much potassium rich foods as they no longer have the biological ability to filter out any eggs

As nutrients and provide sugar this one's not surprising

It is no secret that eating too much sugar in the long run is seriously bad for any human being

Excessive consumption of the sweet tasting carbohydrate can't lead to obesity diabetes and let through any heart problems

But if you're wondering how much sugar do you have to consume for it to kill you immediately?

Then the answer would be ten and a half cups of it according to the American Chemical

Society a lethal dose of sugar for an average adult equates to two hundred and sixty two pieces of

Fun-sized Halloween candy continued around at 20,000 calories this amount is much less on individuals with a smaller build especially

Children and so you should always keep a close eye on how much sugar filled can't eat your kids are eating to make sure that

A fun day does not end tragically next up salt

We of course put salt on almost anything to make them taste better, which is why we're pretty much addicted to it

but more than its

Undeniable value for making things delicious the sodium in salt is crucial and ensuring that all the cells in the human body

Function properly it is literally an ingredient

That's keeping us alive as it is the one responsible for regulating the water entering and exiting the cells

But when there's too much sodium in the cells the water flows out through osmosis

Causing the cells to shrink this leads to a electrolytes problem known as hypernatremia

some of the symptoms of this condition include weakness lethargy in nausea

However more severe cases can cause confusion seizures coma and bleeding in the brain

And if you're wondering how much salt it takes to kill you immediately the answer is

47 to 48 teaspoons of salts

And this is really the reason why people are told not to drink seawater should they find themselves stuck in the middle of the ocean?

Number 7 water speaking of water another thing that can kill you if you have too much of it well

It's water water is life

It makes up a large part of our planet as well as the human body as presence in our body is so important that everyone

Is required to stay hydrated at all times constantly replacing the water we lose from sweating urination breathing it more

But if water is so valuable does that mean you can never drink too much of it the answer unfortunately

Is no there is such a condition known as water

intoxication athletes are particularly at risk from suffering this rare health issue for example a 2005 study on the runners who participated in the

2002 Boston Marathon

That is six of the competitors suffered from a mild form of this condition displaying symptoms such as nausea and vomiting extreme cases

Of this condition can lead to serious neurological problems like seizures and even brain damage

So how much water would it take to actually kill a person the number is at around six liters 25 cups or?

17 bottles of water, and if you're wondering if anybody ever actually died from this well

Yeah an infamous case of water intoxication was recorded back in

2007 at the time the California woman drinks six litres of water all under just three hours in order to win a radio

Competition on her way home the 28 year old complain about having a severely painful headache and tragically the woman died it

just several hours later an

investigation of what happened revealed that it was her excessive consumption of water at a cost to a brain and lungs to swell and also

you guys won case of excess consumption on my part when I was participating in the

Spiciest curry in the world contest ate a plate of curry

Um that was that was doused with Carolina Reaper pepper

Which is the spiciest pepper on the planet well until recently and right afterwards yeah?

I vomited like a chant all over the sidewalk on somebody's lawn. It's not like I did it on purpose

I couldn't help it. I was just like vomiting like that girl in the Exorcist anyway

I got home and for the next two days. I couldn't stand up. I literally couldn't stand up

I stand up, and I will feel dizzy, and I would have to lay down and that will be the last time

I participate in something like that so that's why I don't do spicy eating contests anymore. I mean all you spicy brews

I'm not gonna eat like a Carolina Reaper.
