We cant decide to not eat foodis essential for our survival.
Recently, food scientist @hydroxide made a video pointing out exactly that.
She explained what kind of foods she doesnt eat, which made her video go viral pretty quickly.
Each nutrient can be obtained from specific foods.
And those are just a few examples; more can be found with a quick Google search.

At the same time, some foods provide only so-called empty calories.
Well, TikTok user and food scientist@hydroxideis here to break this misconception.
The first one she mentioned was raw sprouts.
But apparently, they can be pretty dangerous too.
As@hydroxideexplained, sprouts grow in the warmest, moistest, and wettestenvironmentyou can imagine.
These conditions are the perfect kind for foodborne bacteria that can cause illnesses like E. coli and salmonella.
Since people usually like eating sprouts uncooked, getting ill is a serious risk.
The second food mentioned in the video was raw meat.
To be more specific, any kind ofburgerthat isnt well done.
So, when it is barely cooked, the risk of getting sick is also high.
Of course, this doesnt apply to every single food item on Earth.
Just remember that sprouts and meat arent among them.
