More is not always better - did you know that even healthy foods can harm you if you eat too much? Find out why you should be careful about how much you eat.
#1 Licorice
Licorice contains glycyrrhizin, which decreases the level of potassium. Eating too much of this product can lead to problems with heart and blood pressure. Do you like licorice?
#2 Tuna
Eating tuna contributes to heart health and can help you lose weight. Anyway, some types of tuna contain more mercury than others, so you should be careful with this product. A person who weights 150 lbs shouldn't eat more than 0.3 lbs of tuna within 10 days.
#3 Soda
The most dangerous ingredient of soda is sugar. If an average person drinks 785 oz of soda, chances are high they will get poisoned.
#4 Soy sause
Drinking the whole bottle of soy sauce sent a 19-year-old man to coma once. The thing is that consuming too much soy sauce can lead to dehydration and a serious sodium overdose.
#5 Cinnamon
Cinnamon contains high amounts of coumarin, which may be harmful in large doses. There are two types of cinnamon: Ceylon and Cassia. The former contains less coumarin, so it's less dangerous for humans.
#6 Nutmeg
Nutmeg is a popular spice, and we often use it in Christmas cakes and puddings. Anyway, it can be really dangerous and cause hallucinations. Nutmeg contains a large amount of myristicin, which is a psychoactive substance. Consuming more than 0,3 oz of nutmeg in one sitting can lead to poisoning, nausea, pain, dizziness and hallucinations.
#7 Coffee
Coffee is a beverage loaded with a lot of antioxidants and beneficial nutrients. At the same time, consuming too much caffeine can lead to problems with the nervous system, insomnia, nervousness, muscle tremors, stomach cramps and heart palpitations. Anyway, all side effects differ widely between individuals.

Oh dear and to think me and my kid brother used to smoke cinammon sticks when we were about the age of 12-14. He is 82 and I am 78 and still here to tell the tale. Get on with it life is too short to worry about everything in detail.

Drinking too much water can also be harmful as it will deplete sodium in your system.

The key in everything we consume (and do) is moderation

I would expect most of these are unbelievable.

Could manage without a lot of these items anyway, but I do like tuna and the flavour of cinnamon - still, could do without or ration without too much hassle. But trust me, make me cut down your coffee and YOU WOULD NOT LIKE ME! At least the story didn't mention cheese, mind you, I know all about that, too, and I DON'T CARE! Sorry, coming over all shouty today - it was very interesting!

Everything in moderation is key, and avoid all processed foods, and cut down on spices and flavorings. Eating fresh foods, and natural produce and meats without added antibiotics, and GMO s are key. Substances affect people differently,including caffeine, chemicals and liquids, like alcohol. I used to drink a great deal of coffee, all day long. Now I have one cup in the morning and that’s it, or I have palpitations, shakiness & don’t sleep at night. I don’t know why this happened, but I think it was because of my over indulgence of coffee for years.

Rachel Roth, Exactly, The Optimum Intake of Water is Not. Per Lb. Of Body Weight, unless YOU SWEAT HEAVILY,as in Strenous Excercise, or Hard Physical Labor, such as Construction, Landscaping, Roofing, in Spring Summer & into Autumn !

What about G.M.O. Corn, that has been GENETICALLY MODIFIED to produce it's Own Herbicide, and to Destroy The Stomach Lining of the CORN BORE, and it does the SAME To Human Stomach & Small Intestines.
Which is WHY We, as a Nation, have So Many People who have I.B.D.( Irritible Bowel "Disease" Crohn's Disease, Etc.....! Also Cheese, Not Aged at least 1 Year, to Allow the Enzymes time to Convert the Sugars from Lactose, a Sugar Our Bodies Can't Handle Much Of, to Glucose, a Form of Sugar that is likened to Blood Sugar.
Also, These Generic Medicines, Especially S.S.R.I.'s ( Selective Seratonin Re-uptake Inhibitors) which cause NERVE DAMAGE, as it did to Someone I know. Specifically The Sciatic Nerve in this Individuals Left Leg.
Put THAT in Your Pipe and "SMOKE IT" !

Aspartame is a killer!!

Oh well, we'll soon get to a nanny-state where just about everything will be banned or strictly rationed. Thank heavens I probably won't be around to witness that. George Orwell would have had a field day with this sort of thing.
Tonya Parham
Since I'm allergic to cinnamon, that one would cause me problems.

Wayne Durham, you’re a charm!

Leonor Estanislao, can we moderate?

Add too many vitamins.
