Yes, Reddit has recently been ruining food (but only a little bit) with folks sharing how much of something consumed is lethal. We’re talking about actual foods that, if consumed in excess, would be a lethal dose. Some of these are physically impossible to achieve (no, don’t accept this challenge), but others—let’s just say it’s good to know these things if you really like eating.

And there are a lot of different faculties in your body to process all of it—the good, the bad and the ugly. While you might think eating a banana is healthy and great, it does include a certain amount of toxins that the body should be able to take on as well.

But there’s also the lesser known detox centers like the lungs, which have a capacity to remove certain gasses, the skin, which keeps water-borne nonsense at bay, and the digestive system, which is capable of eliminating toxic foods through vomit and the runs.

The obvious effect of overeating is gaining excess weight in the form of fat. Whenever you overeat, the body converts those extra calories into fat for later use. And if you like hoarding fat and never really using it, then obesity will be right around the corner, and that will put a strain on your body (e.g. the cardiovascular system).

In the first case, your stomach is put under pressure to process a huge amount of food, and so it might have to eject some of it or to rush through digesting something just to get sweet relief. With the latter, there are certain foods that are more prone to be broken down into gasses. And so if you eat more of it, hence there will be more gasses to expel. Nobody wants that. Not you, not those around you.

It’s speculated that once a bigger meal is consumed, blood sugar might drop shortly and that would ultimately lead to sleepiness, sluggishness, headaches and the like. There’s also excess insulin production. And while that sounds like not a big deal, remember, that puts pressure on your body and if you’re, say, driving, drowsiness doesn’t help navigate roads.
