5 Deadly Foods People Actually Eat (+Video)
The last thing you should think about while eating is that your dinner could kill you. Yet there are some foods out there with the potential to kill that people still knowingly seek out. Some crave the taste, others the thrill. Many of these foods are even considered delicacies in certain regions of the world.
1. Fugu
Probably one of the first foods that comes to mind is the Japanese delicacy known as Fugu or puffer fish because of the way it inflates or puffs up when threatened. There is a poison called tetrodoxin that permeates the liver, skin, and ovaries of this fish and if not prepared properly can send someone into paralysis—and since there is no known cure, it can eventually leads to death by asphyxiation.

2. Sannakji
Another exotic dish from Japan and Korea is called Sannakji or “Live Octopus.” Actually it is a simple dish to prepare and is made of baby octopus legs. It is considered a delicacy because the tendons are still wiggling even after they are cut off. So be warned: when eating, if not chewed completely, an active suction cup could inadvertently stick to your throat and cause choking. This is a particular danger when drunk.

3. ACKEE
In Jamaica, a traditional dish is ackee and saltfish. Ackee is fruit rich in vitamins and protein and has a cheese-like taste, but if eaten before it’s ripe—meaning before it naturally opens on the tree— it can cause one to become ill and possibly lead to death. This is due to the toxins called Hypoglycin A and Hypoglycin B which can drastically lower a person’s blood sugar (hence similar to hypoglycemia, but much worse) and cause severe vomiting. Yet ackee is a staple food in many countries and is in fact the national fruit of Jamaica.

That’s nothing to what people drink in their minds everyday through liberal indoctrinated TV and magazines and newspapers.
They are slow acting poisons that first cause misery, then suffering, and then only then will you DIE.
This is interesitng! Thank you!
Yes, the live octopus eating by the Japanese (even girls, teenage one I saw on a show, and she looked very nasty, in anticipation of eating her living octopus at this restarurant) is horrific.
Who knows but that practises like these and other similarly horrible ones such as we do here, too, bring about a nation’s downfall from the heavens who cannot take the wickedness any longer, fed up with this sh!t donw on the earth plane.
