Soy sauceIn 2013, a young American man bet that he could drink a bottle of soy sauce in one go. The man later fainted after completing the challenge. Doctors diagnosed him with severe dehydration and high sodium levels. This imbalance can cause a stroke.
In addition, the fermentation process of soy sauce also produces substances that can cause cancer and affect the menstrual cycle in women. Some substances in soy sauce can affect the kidneys and nerves, hinder mineral absorption and affect fetal development.
TeaIn 2014, a 56-year-old man was hospitalized with kidney failure after drinking too much cold black tea. Doctors discovered that he had been drinking up to 16 cups of black tea a day.

NutmegIf you eat just a little nutmeg, this fruit will be very good for your health. In particular, nutmeg can increase the feeling of excitement and is considered as viagra for women. However, eating too much nutmeg will cause convulsions, mental disorders, hallucinations.
ToothpasteIn the early 1990s, toothpaste tubes often said, “Do not swallow, use only a pea-sized amount.” Swallowing a large amount of non-fluoride toothpaste could cause stomach upset. However, if it was fluoride toothpaste, things were not so simple, especially for children, because fluoride could cause poisoning, headaches, stomach aches, and even death.
In addition, too much fluoride accumulated in the body will cause yellowing of tooth enamel, making teeth more brittle. Some compounds in toothpaste can affect the nervous system or cause oral cancer if abused. Therefore, remember, using a lot of toothpaste does not mean you will have clean and beautiful teeth.
Soft drinkSoft drinks contain a lot of sugar. Too much sugar is really bad for your health. According to a recent study, consuming more than 30 grams of sugar per kilogram of body weight is a level that can cause death. Thus, on average, an adult who drinks 23 liters of soda can be poisoned. Drinking too much soft drink can damage tooth enamel, cause tooth decay or even more serious effects such as osteoporosis, stomach damage in children, obesity, diabetes, liver and kidney damage and even increase the risk of cancer.
