Can Eating 50 Eggs At Once Cause Death: Egg is considered an excellent source of protein, vitamins and many essential nutrients. Fitness experts and doctors recommend eating it in balanced quantities. But what if someone tried to eat 50 eggs at once? Can this really cause death? This question came into discussion when a person in Jaunpur district of Uttar Pradesh died allegedly during the condition of eating 50 eggs.
What is the matter?
According to media reports, there was an argument between two friends in Bibiganj market area of Jaunpur. To end the dispute, both of them made a bet of Rs 2,000 as to who could eat 50 eggs first. It is said that 42 year old Subhash Yadav was eating his 42nd egg when he suddenly fell unconscious. The people present nearby immediately took him to the hospital. Later he was referred to the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences for better treatment, but he died after a few hours. The treating doctors believed that consuming excessive amounts of food could have had serious effects on the body. However, the family had denied this.
Can eating too many eggs cause problems?
According to experts, eating too many eggs at one time can cause sudden pressure on the digestive system, leading to vomiting, food getting stuck in the windpipe, aspiration, severe stomach discomfort and in some cases, it can also affect the functioning of the heart. Egg yolk contains high amount of cholesterol and consuming it in such large quantities is not considered normal for the body. In a study it was claimed that eating eggs daily can increase the risk of death by 7 percent. However, scientists say that more research is needed to fully prove this relationship.
