Research shows that there are foods that, if misused, can cause serious health problems. Some of the foods that are at the top of the most dangerous list published by the US Health Inspectorate, we eat almost every day, writes ИноСМИ.
Tuna
This type of fish, which is one of the most widely consumed around the world, is at risk. Especially white tuna, when consumed excessively, can have a negative effect on the development of the nervous system in babies in the womb.
mushrooms
Certain types of fungi that grow in nature can cause poisoning and even lead to death. While some mushrooms, which you can even find in your own garden, are capable of producing a hallucinogenic effect, others cause much more serious harm, even death. It is important not to eat mushrooms that you are not sure are safe.
Peanut
One of the leading causes of death from food allergies is peanut allergy. According to Time, between 1997 and 2002, allergies caused by these nuts doubled in children.

Eggs
Eggs are one of the staple foods for many people. However, according to Health.com, a significant proportion of salmonellosis outbreaks are associated with the consumption of eggs. Infection with Salmonella bacteria, which can multiply in eggs, can be transmitted to humans if this product is misused. Therefore, eggs must be properly cooked and stored in the refrigerator. As one of the precautions, you should avoid foods that contain raw eggs. How to determine the freshness of eggs? You can use the following simple test: dip the egg in a glass of water; if it lies on the bottom in a horizontal position, the egg is fresh; if it floats, it is spoiled.
Coffee
For many of us, coffee is one of the essential components of everyday life, but it should be noted that this drink is fraught with many risks. Along with the effects that may seem relatively minor, such as yellowing of the teeth, sleepless nights, dehydration, there can also be some serious consequences, such as third-degree burns when hot coffee comes into contact with the skin. In the early 1990s, an elderly woman in New Mexico burned much of her skin with hot coffee spilled on herself and sued the company from which she bought the coffee. After that, a warning appeared on the cups with coffee: "Caution, the coffee is hot."
Sausages
Studies have shown that sausages can cause choking in children. 20% of eating attacks in toddlers under the age of 10 are due to sausages.
Green vegetables
Broccoli is one of the most popular green vegetables, but it is ranked number one on the FDA's list of dangerous products. In addition to broccoli, other green leafy vegetables that we eat raw, such as lettuce, spinach, and arugula, are at the top of this list. When it comes to foodborne infections and illnesses, these are the foods that need to be treated with care, as they are often the source of bacteria such as E.coli. Therefore, green vegetables must be washed thoroughly before eating.
