The world’s most poisonous food! A thousand times more deadly than cyanide: It stops breathing instantly

Canadian scientists announced the world’s 7 most dangerous foods. These foods pave the way for many health problems, especially respiratory and intestinal problems. If consumed unconsciously, it can even lead to coma and death.

The ovaries, intestines and liver of the fugu, which means ‘puffer fish’ in Japanese, contain tetrodotoxin, a neurotoxin 1,200 times more deadly than cyanide. The lethal dose of tetrodotoxin is smaller than the head of a pin and there is enough poison in a single fish to kill 30 people. If consumed unconsciously, fugu can paralyze motor nerves and cause respiratory arrest.
Japanese chefs have to train for years to get a license to prepare fugu. Despite these precautions, many people die each year from improperly prepared fugu food.
Ackee fruit, native to Jamaica, is a delicious but dangerous food. Unripe ackee fruit contains a poison called hypoglycin. For this reason, the fruit must be fully ripe. The outer seams should open on their own when the fruit is ready to be picked. The cream-colored, fleshy pulp around the seeds should be eaten. The pink flesh or black seeds should never be consumed because they are extremely poisonous. Ackee fruit can cause coma or death if consumed uncontrollably.
Sancakji, a Korean dish, consists of live baby octopus tentacles that are cut into pieces, seasoned, and served immediately. Sannakji enthusiasts eat the dish while the tentacles are still writhing on the plate. However, the suction cups on the tentacles retain their suction even after they are severed, so diners must chew them thoroughly before they stick to the roof of the mouth. Otherwise, the tentacles could get stuck in the mouth and throat, causing the person who consumes it to choke to death.
Hakarl, a traditional Icelandic dish, is Greenland shark meat that has been dried and hung for three to five months. This process is necessary to neutralize the high levels of urea and trimethylamine oxide in the shark’s meat. Greenland sharks do not have a urinary tract, so waste and toxins are filtered through their skin and flesh. The chemicals are so concentrated that even a few bites can poison a person. If consumed excessively, Hakarl can lead to intestinal problems and neurological diseases.
Cassava, a tropical root plant, is often used in foods such as puddings, juice, cakes and chips. However, the leaves and roots of cassava can produce deadly cyanide. To prevent poisoning, cassava should be cooked properly before eating.
Rhubarb leaves, which are often used in jams and pies, contain oxalic acid. Consuming too much oxalic acid can be quite dangerous for general health.

Unconscious consumption of rhubarb can lead to many health problems such as burning throat, nausea, difficulty breathing and diarrhea. Oxalic acid can also lead to kidney stones.

The branches and seeds of elderberry leaves contain lethal levels of cyanide-producing glycoside. For this reason, elderberries should be eaten fully ripe and cooked. Otherwise, they can cause nausea, vomiting, severe diarrhea and even death.
