ring the notification bell to join us on the bright side counting down from number 9 large quantities of apple seeds can be poisonous apples just like almonds peaches and cherries belong to the rose family really as such their seeds are full of certain natural chemicals that are toxic to people and animals Apple seeds contain amygdalin which is a substance that releases cyanide as soon as it mixes with digestive enzymes cyanide in case you weren't aware is one of the most deadly poisons known to humankind luckily apple seeds are covered with a hard coating that's resistant to digestive enzymes so if you eat a whole Apple together with the seeds they'll go through your digestive system untouched and won't release any poison but if you start biting into the seeds cyanide will get into your system your body is perfectly capable of detoxifying small amounts of this poison but if you keep crunching on apple seeds the dose may become lethal however it takes a lot to get cyanide poisoning from mere apple seeds it's been estimated that an adult would have to consume 143 apple seeds before the amount of cyanide in their body reaches critical levels this means you'd need to eat about 18 apples in one sitting still it's better to play it safe and spit the seeds out when munching on your favorite fruit and never let small children or pets have access to apple seeds just in case number eight nutmeg can cause hallucinations if you're planning to bake a cake flavored with nutmeg powder go easy on this ingredient if you add more than three teaspoons of the powder you risk getting mild hallucinations besides your limbs may start to warm up all of a sudden but that's not the worst part severe side effects take place 30 minutes to an hour after you've consumed too much nutmeg powder they include nausea vomiting and diarrhea ill in the most extreme cases people may have problems with their heart and nerves number 7 brown sugar is no healthier than white sugar you've probably heard that brown sugar is preferable to white sugar because it's the healthier of the two uh-huh well unfortunately in most cases this is a mere marketing ploy brown sugar is usually just regular table sugar that becomes brown when molasses is added to it producers add 5 to 10 percent molasses which makes it easier to control the size and color of the crystals nutritionally these two products are practically the same the United States Department of Agriculture reports that a teaspoon of white sugar contains 16 kilocalories well there are 17 kilocalories in a teaspoon of brown sugar thanks to the molasses in its content brown sugar does have several useful minerals such as potassium magnesium iron and calcium at the same time these nutrients are present in such tiny amounts that choosing brown sugar over white sugar won't give you any health benefits number six palm oil isn't that bad for your health palm oil has long been considered bad for human health the reason is clear this is a super fatty oil that increases cholesterol levels and raises blood pressure as a result people who consume this product in large amounts are at a higher risk of having a stroke or developing heart disease at the same time if you don't OH indulge in palm oil this product can have several important health benefits first of all palm oil is a perfect source of a particular form of vitamin E called tocotrienol it has potent antioxidant qualities that help promote and maintain brain health tocotrienols can even reduce the risk of having a stroke slow down the progress of dementia and prevent the development of brain lesions Wow that's why people who have or are at risk of having a vitamin A deficiency should include red palm oil in their diet number five coffee is the world's greatest source of antioxidants oh then just pour me a cup coffee has always been a controversial subject some people claim that it's an addictive and harmful drink that just dehydrates you while others are sure that this cup of pure energy does nothing bad to your health if you analyze all the existing evidence you'll find that coffee is actually really good for you and that's all got to do with the fact that coffee contains more antioxidants than anything else out there antioxidants are extremely important for your health because they protect your body from aging and serious illnesses surprisingly coffee contains huge amounts of antioxidants like polyphenols and hydro cinematic acids the latter is super effective at preventing cell breakdown caused by oxidative stress and free radicals as for polyphenols they help prevent cancer various heart diseases and type 2 diabetes number four most wasabi you eat is actually horseradish chances are that you've never actually had real wasabi the thing is that real wasabi which comes from grading wasabi japonica fruit is uncommon outside of Japan instead people are served a mixture of mustard horseradish and food coloring even in Japan where the demand for wasabi is extremely high the real thing often gets mixed with horseradish wasabi has an herbal taste as opposed to its horseradish substitute the has a clear lingering aftertaste that leaves a burning sensation in your mouth as for the real deal its purpose isn't to make you feel like a fire-breathing dragon real wasabi tastes smooth and almost plant like number three the expiration date on your water bottle isn't what it seems the expiration date you see on a bottle of water isn't about the water it's about the bottle itself there are no proteins or sugars in water that means that water can't go bad like most foods and drinks do at the same time if you leave the bottle open the water will absorb carbon dioxide and its chemical composition will change so if you've ever wondered why on the earth the manufacturer is trying to tell you that your water will expire by a certain date well there you go number two honey has an eternal shelf life archaeologists who were excavating some Egyptian tombs came across something absolutely unexpected they found several pots of honey but that's not the craziest part this honey was thousands of years old but it was well preserved and still edible the explanation lies in honey's chemical makeup which is mostly sugar this means that honey contains very little moisture extremely few microorganisms and bacteria can survive in such an environment in short they get smothered by honey's pure sweetness besides honey is a very acidic product with a pH between three and four point five it can kill literally anything that tries to grow in it even if some brave bacteria manage to settle down in a jar of honey their life expectancy is really short and number one ice cream contains seaweed yeah some kinds of commercial ice cream contain sea we know this type of algae isn't used to add any particular flavor to the coal tree seaweed serves as a thickening agent some manufacturers use care in their icecream production and this substance is made from particular kinds of red seaweeds carrageenan is added to ice cream to keep the ingredients together and make the texture better seaweed also prevent your ice cream from melting too fast so next time you're enjoying a cone be sure to thank seaweed for that amazing whipped texture uh Thank You seaweed I think well wasn't that just a yummy do
