5 Deadly Food Combinations and Dangerous foods in general

  1. Medicine + Grapefruit Juice = Adverse effects
Grapefruit helps increase absorption of a drug if you take them together. A typical dosage could be lethal. 


  2. Red bull + Milk = Stomachache

The acid in the energy drink will combine with the milk protein and produce a salt, causing the casein to lose suspension and clump together.
Weak to average stomachs could have a hard time containing the reaction, resulting in some sort of eruptive vomit.


  3. Mint and aerated drinks

Cyanide can be made if mixed in the right proportions.The exact proportion is not known unfortunately but it's off to be safe than sorry


  4. Nutmeg

Nutmeg is a hallucinogenic.Eating just 0.2 oz of nutmeg could cause convulsions, and 0.3 oz could start seizures. Eating one whole will supposedly lead to a type of "nutmeg psychosis", which could be lethal


  5. Tuna

There's nothing really dangerous about tuna other than the mercury it absorbs. The mercury would either just pass through your kidneys(good), or go to your brain and drive you insane.(anything but good)

So, Remember to eat the right things. The results of not doing so are not so pleasant...
