Hello Air-Clinicians and Friends!
There's a belief that runs back to the biblical era that what defiles a man is determined by what enters his mouth. Yes! Indeed there's some logic in that even though Jesus tried to disprove it with a spiritual interpretation.
Now let's look at it this way. You can't eat poison and expecting it not to harm your systems. In truth, many of the things we eat on a daily basis can be seen as poison when looked at much more critically.
Sometimes poison can be very sweet. We eat and drink these things and we see them as enjoyment. We think we are doing good. No wonder many have died suddenly with apparently no ailment. Some things kill you silently.
The following popular foods and fruits could be dangerous:
- Raw cashew nuts
- Apple seeds
- Cassava leaves or bitter cassava
- Tomato leaves or green tomatoes
- Potato leaves or stem or sprout or green potatoes
- Raw honey (ie unpasteurized honey)
- Bitter almonds
- Large quantities of nutmeg (ie 1 whole seed)
- Tinned or canned foods in general
- Artificial and industrial sugars
- Mushrooms (many species are poisonous)
- Groundnuts (for those with peanut allergies)
- Tuna fish (high content of Mercury)
- Raw meat and uncooked eggs
- And lots more...
So next time you want to gulp one of these please do ask yourself avital question:
Have I taken all the necessary precaution to make sure that this is healthy? If yes! Please do enjoy your meals. Generally stay away from fruit seeds, unknown leaves and foods.
AIR-CLINIC LOVES YOU 💝💝💝

Yes it is. Just like it's leaf too. It's funny how edible things can be dangerous when eaten in another way.

Eat the ripe red ones only. They contain lycopene which is good for your heart.
On the other hand the green ones contain tomatine which is harmful especially in large quantities.

hey guys @air-clinic, am a bit confused because i heard cassava leaves are eaten as vegetable in some countries. Is this safe?

Cassava leaves contains high concentration of cyanide.
To minimize the probability of harm, the leaves have to be cooked properly and the water discarded.
The best bet is to avoid eating it entirely.
