Mushrooms:
Not every mushroom is created equal. Cremini mushrooms might make perfect pasta toppers, but some species contain poisons that can kill.
Tomatoes:
The juicy, red fruit contains a poison,
glycoalkaloid, in its leaves, which is known for causing upset stomachs, severe cramping, and
anxiety. So steer clear of the leaves
Margarine:
People choose margarine over butter because it doesn’t have cholesterol in it, but what you need to pay attention to is what IS in it! Margarine is extremely high in trans-fat, which can damage your blood vessels and even increase your cholesterol.
Potatoes:
You may have heard that potatoes, if not consumed at the right time, can be dangerous. You heard correctly! The leaves of stem, and sprouts of a potato contain Glycoalkaloids, which are also found in nightshade. If you leave a potato in bad conditions (as in too moist or bright, or you just let them sit out for too long) they will begin to sprout. It’s suggested to throw these potatoes away, even if you do cut off the sprouts, as the poison may be in the potato if too much time has passed.
Fruit Juice:
A lot of shoppers think they are healthy when they purchase fruit juice, but these are actually very bad for the body. Not only are most made with artificial flavors and not any real fruit, they are packed full of sugar and other chemicals that can cause obesity and other serious health problems. Even real fruit juice is packed full of sugar that provides you with no nutritional value. It’s best to eat a piece of fruit instead of drinking it, unless you’re juicing your own.
Soda:
Regular soda is a huge source of sugar and a variety of other chemicals that have been linked to several different types of cancer.
