Imagine eating a pack of crisps for breakfast being the thing that saved you from a horrific health crisis.
-
Fuck, man. What a nightmare. Imagine you lose your whole family to one joyous get-together breakfast because of a mistake and only you lived because you didn't like the food. Nature is ruthless
-
Note to self. Do not consume fermented corn or coconut in any form ever.

A full recovery 😃 A recovery 🥲 Autopsy reveals 😥 Autopsies of DC MC BC SC 💀

It's time to get my monthly dose of fearing my leftovers
-
We're moving from stock footage to full actors reproducing literature events in hospital beds with hospital equipment. Does Chunbyemu own a mock Emergency room warehouse set at this point?

I always keep in mind that cooking kills bacteria but doesn’t remove toxins released by bacteria. I never take chances. I have a list on my fridge of how long foods can be refrigerated. If I don’t get leftovers into the fridge within 2 hours, I throw them out. I’m already disabled due to chronic illness. I don’t need to give myself food poisoning too. I feel really bad for the survivor. The survivor guilt must be unbearable.
-
This channel is the sole reason I’ve thrown away a lot of food that I known been left out for too long.

"found not alive in her house" followed by a graphic description of exactly how she became "not alive" really drives home how absurd the algorithm is.

"The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell" we all chant in unison

This one made me tear up a bit He lost his entire family in the blink of an eye after what was supposed to be a wholesome and happy day. Terrible. Just terrible. I am so sorry, Ace.
-
4:46 Lady collapses onto the floor and the dude just walks right past her. Geez, no wonder nobody at the office likes him
-
As an organic chemist, if you showed me the structure of the toxin without context, i would never have guessed it was bioactive, let alone so profoundly toxic. Wow.
-
Things I learned from this channel: Clean your fridge weekly to prevent eating food gone bad Avoid gas station sushi like the plague (because it just might have it) Beware homemade fermented foods (and some commercially made ones) SOMETIMES eating junk food leads to living longer than your family.
-
See, this is why Americans are smart. We don't ferment corn... we use it as God intended, to make high fructose corn syrup.
-
"At autopsy DC ☹️ MC 😢 BC 😫 and SC 😭..." I feel so bad for Ace.
-
For anyone unaware, the freezing itself isn’t a problem, it’s how it is handled. A news article posted elsewhere in the comments explained it was left to thaw on the kitchen counter, then eventually put into the fridge, then days later it was prepared and consumed. Even without this particular fermented corn toxin, the family would have likely suffered from food poisoning at the very least.
-
I've watched many videos from this channel so far, but have I ever heard a story this devastating? Loosing entire family in a day and the fact that you are the only "survivor" ... I can't even attempt to fathom the pain. This is a great heads up to stop hoarding leftover foods in the fridge, which I often do. Time to do some cleaning.

note to yourself, DO NOT EAT fermented corn or coconut
