#3 – Nutmeg

The Spruce

Nutmeg can be used in many different recipes. Savory or sweet cooking, nutmeg is capable to add that warm spicy aroma and flavor to your dish. It is really healthy and recommended for once in a while. However, one has to be very cautious when using it.

Surely, you have noticed that all cooking recipes in cooking books say a PINCH of nutmeg, not a tablespoon or two. This is very simply because nutmeg was found to be hallucinogenic! Let’s say taking just 0.2 oz of nutmeg is enough to cause convulsions, while 0.3 oz can lead to seizures. And of course, expect something like «nutmeg psychosis» when eating one whole spoon.

#4 – Potatoes

Life Advice

Potato is a family of nightshade plants and it is not dangerous. Just calm down. You are not dying any soon unless you have consumed much of the potato’s leaves, stems, and sprouts. The latter contains Glycoalkaloids which can cause severe stomachache, diarrhea, and headaches. It can also lead to coma and death if its consumption exceeded 150 mg. So, be careful!

Almonds are highly nutritional and rich in vitamins. Their health benefits are extensive. Basically, they are two varieties of almonds: the sweet and the bitter.

The first variety is edible and we can buy it from the grocery stores or supermarkets whereas the second variety contains larger amounts of Hydrogen Cyanide. Eating one to seven bitter almonds is enough to cause health problems for adults and can be even deadly, especially for children.

#6 – Raw Honey

Consuming one tablespoon of raw honey can be surprisingly dangerous. Why? Well, raw honey is dangerous to consume because it didn’t undergo a pasteurization process in which the harmful toxin, Grayanotoxin, is eliminated.

Therefore, symptoms like feeling super dizzy, weak, sweating excessively, and vomiting can appear on you and literally last for twenty-four hours. Don’t you dare to take more tablespoons of raw honey!
