Drinks That Kill if Overdosed

Overdosing is a dreadful thing, and while it is often linked with opiate narcotics, you can overdose on a variety of seemingly innocuous other substances.

A case study published recently in Pediatric Neurology describes a youngster in Italy who suffered from seizures, headaches, and high blood pressure.

Doctors discovered the boy's teeth were black after a week in the hospital.

The child had been eating 20 licorice candy every day for the previous four months.

SIDEBAR: We call it black licorice, but everyone else calls it licorice.

The red foods WE consume do not include licorice.

Licorice has been used as a medication for over 4000 years and is derived from licorice root extract, which contains glycyrrhizic (glis-sigh-rizzic) acid.

The acid has a sweeter taste than sugar and is used to treat chronic hepatitis, inflammation, ulcers, liver damage, and even infections.

They stopped the boy's "excessive consumption" since it caused his body to flip and he was back to normal.

HE TOOK TOO MUCH LICORICE.

Yikes.

But no one is concerned about that; instead, we are concerned about mercury contamination in fish!

Bluefin and bigeye tuna have greater methylmercury, according to a 2010 study published in Biology Letters.in comparison to other species!

While methylmercury overdose can result in irreversible brain damage, the amount depends on the fish and where it came from, how much you ate, your body mass, and how frequently you eat it.The conclusion of this story is that you may overdo a lot of things.

For example, if you were admitted to the hospital due to an erratic heartbeat, restlessness, or vomiting,

Muscle tremors, sleeplessness, anxiety, and headaches sound serious, don't they?

These are signs of caffeine poisoning!

If you consume too much, you could possibly go into a coma and die.

Caffeine is one of the world's most often abused self-medications.

"80% of the inhabitants of affluent countries drink coffee or tea daily," and consuming more than 600 to 900 milligrams of caffeine per day is considered an overdose.

260 mg of caffeine are contained in ONE tall (12 oz) Starbucks Blonde Roast coffee.

As a result, the FDA recommends no more than 6 ounces of tuna steak per week, or one tuna steak dinner per week.Tomatoes and potatoes can produce solanine poisoning, but you'd have to consume a LOT of them to "overdose" on them.

According to one website, 67 potatoes can be consumed in a single sitting.

Not to add that the human body can only digest 2,000 milligrams per day of ascorbic acid, also known as "Vitamin C." It is found in carrots, oranges, strawberries, and peppers, and if you eat too many of these, you will become deficient.

You may wind up consuming more of these meals if you are also taking supplements ,than your body could clean.

This would result in vomiting, heartburn, headaches, kidney stones, and digestive issues such as diarrhea and cramps.

Over 11-thousand milligrams can kill, but that's a LOT.

WATER can be lethal.

Too much water dilutes the electrolytes in the body, disrupting the water-sodium balance and causing death by water intoxication.

While it is rare, it does occur, usually as a result of mental illness or miseducation in lifestyle choices.

A 2005 New England Journal of Medicine research discovered

Moderation of every food item and drinks is recommended , as a human being we love different kind of food stuffs and drinks but your health matters. Taking care of your eating habits can help reduce health problems in future and you will have a well maintained body.
