These 16 Common And Trendy Foods Taste Great…And They Could Kill You

If you’re a fan of B-Movies, you’ve probably seen or at least heard of the 1978 horror-comedy film “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.”

In the film, killer tomatoes wreak havoc on the nation, killing innocent people with their deceitful deliciousness. While death by killer tomato may be nothing more than a fictitious plot used to fill theater seats, there may actually be some truth to the story.

Sometimes no matter how delicious they are, some of the foods we eat could be trying to kill us. Okay, they wouldn’t kill you instantly, but their nutritional makeup can include a variety of saturated fats, refined sugars, and even a few toxins that don’t exactly bode well for the bod. While some of the foods on this list are considered unique and trendy, there are plenty more common foods you eat all the time that aren’t exactly looking out for your well-being.

To keep you in the know, here are 16 foods that taste great but really don’t give a damn about your health.

1. Cassava

Cassava, also known as yucca, can be poisonous if not processed properly. This root fruit is known to naturally contain cyanide.

2. Potatoes

Potatoes are usually our go-to carb, but if they’re sprouting or are green in color, they may be poisonous.

3. Cherries

If you swallow a cherry seed, you’re not going to grow a cherry tree in your belly, but you could be subjecting yourself to a dose of cyanide.

This Diver Getting Sucked Into A Powerful Underwater Wave Will Give You Anxiety

The worst thing that you can do as a diver is underestimate the power of the ocean. While the waters can be calm a lot of the time, all of that can change in an instant and that’s usually where you run into trouble. That’s just the situation John Hoover found himself in while exploring the waters near the North Shore of Maui, Hawaii.

Hoover is an author and underwater photographer, and for several hours, his team documented the sights and wildlife that call these waters home.

Completely majestic.

However, as the dive wore on, the waves crashing into the rocks above got stronger and stronger.

Like any curious mind, Hoover decided he needed a closer look at the waves.

Unfortunately, John got a little too close and ended up being swept away by the current. That looks terrifying.

Luckily, Hoover survived his brush with the power of the ocean. Still though, in the moment that must have been insanely terrifying.

What Is A Random Thing That Gives You Anxiety?

Don’t Worry, These 10 Strange Fears Are Really Common. But They’re Still Odd.

Do you have one of the ten most commons phobias in the country? Chances are, you’re not alone in your irrational fear of spiders, heights, and/or giant crowds. Just about 10 percent of American adults have a phobia of some sort, according to numbers from the National Institute of Mental Health.

It’s not known exactly why we humans develop phobias to certain things. Some research has suggested an evolutionary purpose. If you don’t have a true phobia, it’s hard to understand why others may cower in fear when exposed to certain things. Whatever the cause may be, here are the phobias that are more prevalent than others:

4.) Agoraphobia – The fear of being in situations/places where escape is difficult. This might include crowded train stations, city streets, or concerts.

5.) Cynophobia – Fear of dogs.

6.) Astraphobia – Being afraid of thunder and lightning.

7.) Trypanophobia – The fear of injections.

8.) Social Phobias – Fear of social situations, events, and people.

9.) Pteromerhanophobia – The fear of flying.

10.) Mysophobia – The fear of germs and dirt.

This Strange Insomnia Disease Forces Its Victims To Stay Awake Until They Die

If you suffer from any level of insomnia, you know how damaging it can be to your health as well as your personal life. So you can just imagine having a disease that NEVER allows you to sleep, keeping you in a constant state of exhaustion…until your body gives up and dies.

That’s what fatal familial insomnia (FFI) is. The disease is extremely rare (less than one out of 10 million people have it), but those who do suffer from it live in extreme agony. Sadly, so far there is no cure.

The cause of FFI is a mutated protein called PrPSc, which has only been found in 40 families worldwide, affecting around 100 people.

The first signs of the disease are just basic symptoms of insomnia, along with panic attacks, paranoia, and phobias.

After four months pass, the hallucinations start. Sometimes victims will act out their dreams, despite not really being asleep. One woman, who was a hair stylist before being diagnosed, brushed imaginary people’s hair.

Five months later, victims are completely unable to sleep and experience rapid weight loss.

Over the course of the next six months, victims develop dementia and go into a non-responsive, dream-like state. Eventually, they die from exhaustion. The average lifespan of a patient after the onset of symptoms is 18 months.

There is currently no cure for FFI, but as sufferers of the disease continue donating their brains to science, experts believe they are getting closer to finding one. In the meantime, people with FFI go to often bizarre lengths to help them sleep, such as sensory deprivation tanks and even electroconvulsive therapy.

The People In These Photos Seem Happy, But Their Smiles Hide The Painful Truth

It’s important that we all know the signs that a family member or loved one is going through a hard time, but the fact is that many people who are depressed or suicidal know how to hide their feelings well.

Whether it’s because they feel pressure to appear a certain way in public or they don’t want to burden others with their inner turmoil, the fact is that we don’t always know what depression looks like.

That’s why people on social media are raising awareness by sharing photos with the hashtag #facesofdepression. Just a warning: some of these stories are graphic and involve death. If they may upset you, please protect yourself by not reading.

2. “This photo was taken just 7 hours before I tried to take my own life for the 3rd time.”

3. “This is my son right before going to his computer to look up how to properly hang himself. Two days later, he followed through.”

4. “You can’t tell can you? You can’t tell by the look in my eyes or the sound of my voice even. You’re thinking ‘You’re smiling though!'”

Facebook / Monique Holley-Peak

5. “This is depression in our home. I fight every day. My husband tries his best but can’t break through. I don’t understand it. I don’t know why I can’t get rid of it.”

Facebook / Zoe Vanmeter

6. “My #faceofdepression, and yes it is possible to be depressed with a child. Hearing, ‘You don’t have a reason to be depressed with her around’ doesn’t do shit but make me feel worse about myself.”

Facebook / Brittany Schroeder

7. “This is my boyfriend two weeks before hanging himself. Will never understand it.”

Facebook / Agnieszka Ostrowska

8. “Short, intense depressive episodes are real and horrible. Mothers with mental health problems, I see you. I’m here, standing with you, standing against all odds and raising the future one day at a time whilst battling with our minds. You’re not going unnoticed or unappreciated. You are incredible.”

Instagram / selfloveclubb

9. “Currently at the doctor seeking help. Most have no idea what I’m going through and that I cry in the shower or in the car on my way home from work or can’t sleep at night because of panic attacks.”

Facebook / Amy Kramer

10. “I get up, put on a full face of makeup, wear a fun dress, all while struggling with depression, anxiety and sometimes suicidal thoughts.”

Facebook / Stephanie Malanowski- Martin

11. “This is what depression looked like not long before we lost our beloved Luke. Depression is a SERIOUS illness. Don’t dismiss people who are hurting.”

Facebook / Lisa Althoff

12. “You guys! This is the face of depression and suicidal thoughts. Three years ago antidepressants saved my life and then a year and a half ago they almost claimed it because I just decided I was happy and quit taking them suddenly. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Normalize mental health issues. No more shame in my struggle.”

Instagram / jessica.woodard.sowa

13. ” The face of depression. Sometimes it looks optimistic. Sometimes it doesn’t. And having a smart, beautiful child doesn’t mean those feelings don’t exist or that they’re not valid. She loves me on my good days and my bad days.”

Facebook / Jordan Pauline Cain

14. “Depression looks different on everyone. On me, it’s dirty hair, bags under my eyes even though I slept all day, and makeup from yesterday because I was too exhausted to take it off before bed. Yesterday was great until one phrase set me off. It can’t be helped sometimes. Just remember. There is no one look for depression.”

Instagram / scarlett_okera

15. “When people think about depression, they tend to have a very specific idea of how it manifests itself. I’m in the middle of a very real depressive episode and here I am at work with my plants and headphones.”
