Description: Do you think you know what’s safe and what’s not? These everyday things you could pick up at the grocery store or have in your home might not be as good for people as you think. Subscribe for weekly wacky videos and learn interesting facts about the world with awesome top 10 lists and other amazing videos. 6. Nails Done First lipstick, now nail polish? If you’re into beauty and cosmetics, you need to be more aware of what you put on your body. Nail polish may contain toluene, formaldehyde, and dibutyl phthalate. People refer to these as the “toxic trio” of nail polish. When you paint your nails, your body absorbs the substances. Thankfully, not all brands contain this stuff. Always check the ingredients on the packaging to see if you’ll find the trio listed. 5. Eat Them, But Don’t We don’t eat mustard seeds as much as we do things like tomatoes, potatoes, or cherries, so let’s delve into some of the health benefits, shall we? Mustard seeds are rich with selenium, a nutrient that has amazing anti-inflammatory effects. Additionally, these seeds contain manganese, calcium, iron, zinc, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, you name it! Eating ground mustard seeds has been recommended for weight loss because they work as an appetite suppressant. The danger comes when mustard seeds are ground and then inhaled, which may lead to respiratory distress. 4. Watch The Stars People say that carambola has a tart, slightly sour taste. Think of it as a combination of citrus fruits, grapes, and apples. Carambola is also high in vitamins A, B, and C, along with minerals like magnesium, iron, and phosphorus. It’s also low-calorie and has a bunch of anti-oxidants! That sounds delightful--but hold your horses. Not anyone can go and eat the star fruit. Anyone with kidney disease should avoid consuming carambola. It contains a neurotoxin, so wouldn’t you think it’d be bad for everyone? Well, people with healthy kidneys can process that toxin out of their bodies. Those with kidney problems can’t. 3. The Aspects Of Nutmeg Nutmeg isn’t just a spice you pop on some desserts. It has amazing properties that can relieve pain, treat bad breath, improve blood pressure and circulation, as well as help digestion and insomnia. Nutmeg is also good for your skin. It stimulates skin cells and reduces the appearance of fine lines if you used it as a scrub. Because it’s on this list, you still have to be careful with it, though. Ingesting two whole teaspoons of nutmeg can be fatal. It produces similar hallucinogenic effects as certain drugs. When including it in recipes, a sprinkle of it here and there won’t harm anyone. 2. Lina And Lima When you were a child, some adult or other probably made you eat your lima beans for dinner against your will. They were right when they told you lima beans are good for you. Not only are they low in calories, but they are also chock-full of healthy complex carbohydrates. One serving of lima beans is about 7 grams of fiber! Remember, only eat cooked lima beans. Raw lima beans contain linamarin. When linamarin decomposes from consumption, it turns into hydrogen cyanide. If you’re cooking a lima bean dish, make sure to cook them for at least 10 minutes. 1...
