The food we eat is important, but not essential, to our well-being. The important thing is to exercise moderation. Overconsumption of some foods might have negative effects on our health.
In order to keep our bodies and minds healthy, we should all make an effort to eat a varied diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and complete grains.
If we're talking about meals that are bad for humans, there's this one Thai dish that 20,000 people die from every year because it's so poisonous.
With the exception of one essential component, the substances themselves do not pose any threat.
Raw fish, herbs, spices, and lemon juice make up this meal called Koi Pla, although the inhabitants of modern-day Isan and Laos call it a salad. Flavor enhancers such as galangal, shallots, and mint are sometimes included.

The Mekong area is home to parasitic flatworms, which the fish needed to make this dish is captured in.
Unfortunately, if individuals eat this food, they can end up with parasites all over themselves. These parasites induce cancer of the liver by attacking it.
