Think Twice Before You Blindly Believe Eat this, not that consulted a food safety expert and nutritionists to compile a list of the most dangerous TikTok food trends.Discuss
First on the list is a strange method of cooking chicken – sleepy chicken. The idea is to marinate raw chicken in NyQuil, an over-the-counter cold and flu remedy, before boiling or pan-frying. Experts noted that most of the videos show more than half a bottle of NyQuil being used, far in excess of the recommended dose. In addition, most often the chicken looks undercooked. This is clearly a dangerous trend.
This is followed by a harmless-looking toast with cheese, fried in a toaster. The problem is that they suggest putting bread in the toaster immediately with cheese. And misuse of the equipment is fraught with consequences.
It is not uncommon for TikTok users to show how chicken is washed before cooking. You should not do this, because pathogens from raw chicken will simply get on the sink and other surfaces. Also, experts do not advise putting snacks on a common plate. The risk of getting infected from each other is so great.
Specialists considered numerous videos on the topic “My Diet” to be a bad trend. In such videos, everything is usually idealized, and blind imitation can be downright dangerous.
Energy drinks often appear in the videos of TikTok influencers. Nutritionists warned that such drinks should not be abused. The so-called chlorophyll water is also dangerous. In addition, tiktokers sometimes show how they eat sports nutrition dry. This is not recommended.
Will adding lemon to coffee help speed up weight loss, as some TikTok users claim? Unfortunately, there is no evidence for this. And experts have warned that this can cause heartburn and damage tooth enamel over time.
