A Man Drank Expired Coconut Water. This Is What Happened To His Brain.

Bruh spoilers 😔

@@cheemsburmger6289 Don't read comments before watching the video?

I live in Kerala, we have too many coconut trees here. As long as you don't remove the husk and/or don't poke holes in it, the coconut shouldn't get rotten. Oh and trust me, I've smelled rotten coconut water and you'll never forget the smell.

> All from just having the coconut water touch his mouth No, the problem was he did swallow some.

He ingested a toxin that has a similar molecular diagram to a few known nerve agents so not to surprising he's dead

@@conelatilot wonder what would have happened if he immediately induced vomiting

@@johnr797 That MIGHT have just done the trick, it would have certainly reduced the chance of this happening, however that is only speculation.

@johnr797 Depending on how well it transfers Into the mucous membranes he was already dead the minute it touched his lips. I'd honestly say that this transfer and absorption into the body is probably more likely than he swallowed a tiny bit.

Good lesson 👍

Who tf drinks straight out of the coconut????

@@jesusramirezromo2037 everyone in the Philippines as we speak.

@@jesusramirezromo2037hmmm sounds like you haven’t traveled much

​@jesusramirezromo2037 south Americans and India

I am feeling the same right now. A year ago I casually picked up a coconut water pack from a corner store. Took a sip and felt the taste was awful. Then checked the date and found it was expired already.

Similar experience, was a kid, took a sip from a coconut, absolutely rancid so spat it all out. Same day I get terrible food poisoning, probably the worst I've ever had, no idea if it was related to the coconut but after watching several chubbyemus videos about people dying after having spoiled coconut products makes me think I narrowly avoided death.

fortunately. I live in india so coconuts are usually fresh. and are sold on the side of some roads. harvested just hours ago

He should have probably purged it out

It is not sure if that really happened, as it does not appear in the literature how much the individual actually ingested.

There's people who took a big gulp of their drinks like a habit. So he probably was that type. I suspect that he first took a big gulp, swallowed then took another gulp and then realised it had gone bad.

@@ms.chuisin7727 Good thing i don't do this. Probably. I mean i almost always smell/visual/taste test something before eating it, especially if i'm unsure of how long it's been sitting around outside/in the fridge/etc. Doesn't help when you have parents who throw away every packaging because of covid. People should always taste first, and if they didn't think to before, this video certainly is a good wake up call to do it.

@@Dice-Z You can't really smells the drink if it's in container like this especially if you used a straw. You should always have a taste first especially if it's soy, dairy or coconut milk products. It goes bad really easily.

Leaving any chilled product out of the fridge for 'A month' is just asking for trouble. 2hrs is ok. 6 is risky. Anything more makes it super risky.

@@Ztormrageheero I imagine maybe he didn't realize it was supposed to be refrigerated?

@@Ztormrageheero its like when I googled if spaghetti that was left out was safe to eat. I learned that day that it isn't the sauce I should be scared of, its the noodles. I was so surprised considering we keep uncooked noodles on the shelf for months but they can go bad in a few hours once cooked

@@celerispaghetti7495 Yeah, I always make sure to refrigerate leftover cooked noodles right away now. I knew they had to be refrigerated, but didn't know just how toxic they could become in a short amount of time.

nah he was stupid . he didnt even smell it . just straight up slurp it lol

@StressballLOUIS he died on the same day

@@Nimbus3690 that's why he said "dead a few hours later"

Bro I never knew that the brain will seep out through the sutures in the skull like that that’s so crazy and gross

he drank a toxin, no matter how healthy you are, you will definitely die on poison that potent.

Same

Literal best advice. Just don't risk it if anything is out of the norm. Even the faintest weird smell. You can get a "fresh" piece of fruit from the store, and it can be completely molded on the inside.

My dad tells me that dates are a scam to get you to buy more

I work at a butcher shop and my boss literally sells meat that smells gassy or cheesey.. tells us to rinse it under water and let it sit so the sulfer smell goes away, can't tell you how many customers I've served who probably got the worst food poisoning of their life

​@@Shredddddy🤢 meat is the worst. I'd hate to work in a butchers anyway (more like I never would!) perhaps you should whistle blow? I'm sure you would know as people would be coming in saying they'd been really poorly

@@g.h.7661 bro I’ve drinkin definitely over a month old water and I’ve smoked months old weed for sure just cause you’re the smartest person ever remembering when everything was left out and exactly how old it is doesn’t mean everyone is the same way some people barely even go home every month

@@CyberDragonArt yes I will leave this coconut on the table for a month and count on the low chance that some obscure fungus few people know about will kill him in 24 hours

Wow that's kinda scary...

Good to know.

Careful what you eat kids.

Yea, pretty much. Many of the other cases were out of pure stupidity while this one was more of an honest mistake. I say this because even though the coconut was left a long time like that and you obviously shouldn't trust it, 1) he isn't from a place where coconuts are a common thing to know everything about its demands to stay fresh and whatnot, 2) a coconut generally lasts a long time, 3) it was seemingly good on the outside and 4) illnesses from plant based food sources, even those that have gone bad, are pretty rare - even less so from just taking a sip. Like.. I've watched a yt video of someone devouring a piece of bread full of mold (it was all green) for the sake of 20$ and nothing happened to him really

@@rossobrink8097 Mold can do damage with time, because the toxics can stay in the body and some people are more resistent than other

@@lovelydream743 yeah, but you have to agree, even if someone gets colon cancer or something years after eating moldy food, that's not as bad as what happened here

People wonder why I always smell something before I eat or drink it....

@@ryanjacobson2508 Not anymore! I'm planning to do a lot more sniffing of things I'm considering drinking. So I guess other people can wonder about me...

I have no idea what coconut water should taste like, so I wouldn't know if it was meant to smell and taste a certain way if not. Good to know this can happen! I'll remember to not drink coconut water for the first time unless someone who knows this stuff can tell me if it smells/tastes okay!

​@@jimbailey3705human have already millions years developed sensory function to detect those thing. Any rotten food smells bad and tastes terrible.

I hope the medical team contacted the FDA. There should have been a recall or some sort of action taken.

tis what toxins do

I think a lot of it was because the doctors had NO idea what was going on, they didnt know at first about the coconut, by the time they did they had done all kinds of tests looking for something without a clue as to WHAT, and when they learned about the coconut it was too late.

@@HobbyOrganist Plus that particular toxin is very rare in our part of the world.

And a reminder that medical science can't always save you from bad choices.

Emergency rooms are slow and "stick to procedure". A fungal toxin is about a few rungs down from more common causes.

In other cases where some would literally ingest the weirdest non-edible stuff like bleach, or medicines in excess like Benadryl, they will make at least 'a recovery' in the end. :/

One thing I learned at college is that Fungus, specifically their toxins are always the scariest. I mean, it's no wonder the first antibiotic was from a Fungus.

It should raise the alarm if you see some fresh fruit at the counter for a month.

Definitely. Most of the time the people in these cases are ignorant or stupid, but this one could reasonably happen to any of us. I know I've drank spoiled things and not realized until swallowing a mouthful before. Yes, the coconut shouldn't have been left out, but it's possible we could drink from one that's been left out and not realize until after a good swig.

Right?? I really thought he was going to have a bad case of food poisoning. 😔

Also he woke up that day not knowing it would be his last.

true but I'm still bewildered by how someone could even for a second think that a one MONTH old coconut is okay to consume??

@@arsena5209 I don't think this deserves a Darwin award. A month ain't that much taking about long lasting products

@@KingAGBozz considering the coconot shouldve been refrigerated, leaving it out in room temperature for a MONTH is a long time, im surprised they werent able to tell it was bad from the outside

Ew

Great to hear this ?

A random story when I was a kid, we went to visit some family members in mexico, we were at the beach and my uncle gave me a random coconut that looked different than the green ones we’ve been eating (he found it in his car, rotting in the hottest weather ever). Basically it tasted bad and a few hours later I got hella sick with extreme fevers, but after this video… I feel lucky too

Go buy a lottery ticket, because you’re either luckier than a rabbit or have somebody watching over you.

Lol just got done watching Moana

well his wife was not going to apparently

The wife was just watching like, "🤔🧐🤷‍♀️"

Wow!!!... Many times, I'll grab something from the refrigerated section of a store and see other doors are not shut. For dairy stuff, this could be really bad.

Im afraid that a lot of those miraculous severe cases could have a different ending than what actually happened, because that would make them more youtube friendly.

A lot of these cases are when people ingest stuff that doesn't contain a lot of living things, which makes me think that those are usually less lethal. They eat far too many vitamins, they drink snow globe "water", they drink too much caffeine, ingest some sketchy workout stuff, then there's the pain relief lotion one.

@@pumkin610 Yeah it’s living things that complicates things, there’s so many different possibilities, whereas in other situations there’s a straight forward outcome that medical experts can expect to happen

don't mess with moldy food bro

Whenever, as a child, I played out the whole "that's not fair" game, my Grandma, who was a nurse, flight nurse for the airforce in Korea, and had worked in infant units, etc, would simply just tell me that life isn’t fair and go on with life. Damn, i’ll never forget that whenever unfair things are happening to me.

I've been binge watching this channel and there seems to be a common theme where people poisoned by man made chemicals like lava lamps or overdoses of ibuprofen recover while those who ingest or come in contact with rare hard to detect parasites or bacteria in nature or food don't make it .

I don't think drinking a month old coconut is a simple mistake.. I mean a week old apple isn't good at all, how much is a water filled fruit like a coconut

@@mikhailbolodo1597 A week old apple is absolutely fine unless it’s left out in a hot climate and some coconuts can last months at room temperature. It was the kind of coconut and how it was prepared that made a difference. It was a VERY easy mistake to make.

@@mikhailbolodo1597 are you aware that most apples you eat can stay fresh for several month (with proper type of apple and waxing, but still). Coconut, if unshaved and without a pre-made hole can last way more than month at room temperature.

anyone here remember the video where he said 'xy did not make a recovery'? i remember hearing it once

@@thamemeez5702 Yeah the farmer that cut out a suspicious mole.

It wasn't the coconut. It was the poison created by molds who harmed the poor guy.

Rotten month old molded coconut did it

On the bright side, at least you learned the easy way!

One month old though. We make coconut juice all the time in the Philippines, it doesn't even last 30 minutes.

@@bassyey > it doesn't even last 30 minutes. As in it goes BAD in 30 minutes? Or it's sold OUT in 30 minutes?

Always listen to your gut instinct and senses . Your body knows what's best for you !!!

Yes, morning sickness is protective and is linked to lower rates of problems like miscarriage

Same !!

It is a protective mechanism since your body and unborn kids body is in a fragile state

Congratulations! Listen to your intuition! I knew before eating Subway that I shouldn't, looked it up and saw the no cold lunch meat suggestion, clearly there are work arounds. Same thing happened with black licorice. Trust anything in yourself telling you not to eat something, limit intake, or to heat thoroughly for safety first.

Thanks for the tip

It's because it has a premade-hole. I was surprised they exist when I first saw them a few months ago. Edit: Oh, and also, shaving a coconut can introduce tiny invisible cracks where bacteria can get in. So yes, drink it right after shaving.

This type of product (selling pre-shaved coconuts hours or days after) should be fucking illegal.

Is because Northamericans will make an extra process for everything to make more money, we are talking about people who consistently wrap up Bananas in plastic, witch is wild.

Exactly! Fresh is the name of the game. This shaved and partially opened coconut sat on the counter for a month! Makes no sense why you would drink that!

Don't be a snob. Emts have other stuff to worry about. That's why you're a nurse. Figure it out and don't complain about your job.

I’ve always been one to chance it, somehow it has never made me sick. Then again, I’ve been that way for years and you could say that my immune system is used to it by now.

@@Sniperboy5551 It works untill you contract something other than regular food poison like the guy in the video.

@@Sniperboy5551 Immune system? Nah dude, you've survived out of pure statistical luck. Every time you chance it is just rolling the dice again.

For years I would leave pizza or other foods in the oven for a couple of days and eat on it. Never refrigerated it and somehow never even got a stomachache. I got really lucky - and now I put that crap in the fridge right when I'm done eating.

@@MdnightWnd I've heard of a lot of people that used to do that... I did it once as a kid and it did not end well. Puked for hours and cried from the stomach cramps while slumped over the toilet.

it happened to me with with months old natural juice, worst taste I ever experienced. But nothing happend to me, i didn't even feel sick.

Cases like this are very rare, but do happen.

Once I ate a day old chicken sandwich that was in the boot of my car in summer time. After lunch I started falling asleep but got up to go back to work. No chance I heaved like someone threw a bucket of water. I drove home sick spewing at every intersection about 20 times. I took a sleeping tablet and in the morning I survived. Never again!!!

Makes me wonder how tf I survived eating spoiled eggs, fruits and heavily contaminated water. I guess food consumption is just a dead roulette.

This guy drank something that was left out for a month.. it was supposed to be refrigerated that whole time.. this is an extreme case

I have contamination-OCD, and this was an interesting (and concerning) read, since I'm not sure how most other people handle food.

Nah bud you are just neurotic from being tunnel vision on all those rules they drill into people who serve food (for obvious reasons, I understand why it's done so in the industry). When it comes to home however, throwing something that looks, smells, and tastes perfectly just because of some arbitrary date is just outrageous food wasting. The most out of date food item I have consumed was an 8 month out of date mayo. Was perfectly fine, I was also perfectly fine, ate the whole jar myself since my mom was not feeling like eating it. I have also eaten beef that's about to go over, simply wash it with water and slice thicker and cook the exterior a little more so I can still have my medium rare. If anything I find it tastes better at that point. The one time that has stuck with me in the past year was with milk kefir. It smelled fine, it tasted fine, but it was a week or so out of date and already opened prior. I got some moderate food poisoning from that that hit me like a freight train with a fever about 14 hours after initial consumption. Was still able to work through it though since I only eat twice a day most days. Yet even after that unpleasant experience, I still follow what I said initially, especially with beef. It might be because I'm from Europe and our beef is not as hormone and antibiotic full so the bacteria are not as resistant. At the end of the day it's just like covid, some people put their lives on hold due to fear and neuroticism but ended up ill regardless whilst others lived their best life and didn't get more than a sniffle.

smell and taste has worked fine for millennia since our species evolved, only modern stupidity has over ridden basic survival. If smell taste and sight show any signs it goes tot he compost, this story is beyond the pale though, this was natural selection in waiting, I slaughter and cut my own meat, usually it involves card board a hack saw and machete, and 22lr riffle, course salt.

@@valentine8161 It's unfair to accuse food service workers of being neurotic about handling food in the home. We're trained to track food that is being handled and prepared by multiple people across shifts. At home we do relax the process a bit because you know when you pulled your roast to thaw at home and there's no way you're going to grab something you don't know how long it's been left out to thaw. At work we leave the package under a drizzle of water because it causes people to notice it and poke it frequently, and it reminds the person who pulled it to mention to the next shift the details of that package. This is food that will be moving through a system that needs to maintain temperature control but the same person isn't following it through the course. At home we live with people who aren't aware or don't care that leaving a freshly opened can on the counter for hours until it's finally discovered and returned to the fridge is now in serious doubt as to its safety. But a food service worker will habitually look at a clock when opening something or at least be generally aware of the hour, and if finding they've accidentally left it out will have an idea of for how long and be able to judge what to do with it next, be it throw it out or heat it through and refrigerate it. It's not neurotic and we don't toss food just because its due date demands it. We often deal with food that's just a little past due dates at work and in certain cases can make a judgement on use or toss, but it depends greatly on where that food is going to be until it's served. If it's going to be served immediately, no problems, but if its going to sit on ice on a line all day and possibly get wrapped and refrigerated at closing, it's best to toss it because employees don't taste it before serving and would have no way of knowing the quality when selling it to a customer, so we stick to due dates pretty good at work. At home, we know where it comes from and where it's going, we can taste test and can relax those rules. At work when our shift ends it goes into someone else's hands that doesn't know or won't remember the food is pushing expiry. Use immediately or toss. And there's the added concern that customers might not consume the food immediately but carry it with them unrefrigerated for hours, or bring it home and refrigerate it for another day. Our prep has to provide a product that can handle a little mishandling after sale for safety sake. I live with a family member with dementia who will forget to put things in the fridge and go to bed, then throw it back in the fridge later the next day, sometimes not until evening. And if questioned will become offended and upset and can't tell me when it was left out. I've had to become hyper-aware and check the kitchen over frequently for forgotten items. I do have to clean the fridge out often and mark dates on containers because it is a very handy way track food freshness and prevent an illness she might not be able to survive. God gives us our skills and gifts and puts us where He wants us to care for each other.

@@valentine8161 while it's true that food can last way longer than what it says on the label (my dad works in the food industry in a huge ass factory and he has confirmed this, specially in this time where most of the food has preservatives and that stuff) i don't think i can blame people for being scared o getting themselves or others sick due to food that has gone bad. not all foods have the same durability so the way you keep them can make them go bad faster. like in this video, the dude thought it was just a rotten coconut and probably nothing more, if he had checked the inside maybe he would have not died, which is sad but yeah, his death was preventable. i do agree with you that some people just waste food that is still good to eat and that bothers me too. if it smells bad then probably it's are bad so that's okay, but if we do a little bit of research some food can and will last longer if you keep them refrigerated and well kept, so it's not necessary to throw them away because of the date on the label! (i apologize for my english, it's not my first language lol)

Same. Big big facts.

Yeah, my mom and grandma both have a tendency to let things sit out for hours, just to eventually put them into containers and use them as leftovers. I’ve never been sick because of it, but I must have an incredibly immune system after so many years of improperly stored food 😂

You are absolutely right. It’s alarming that there seems to be so many people who don’t even know the basics (hot/cold hold temps, meat/poultry cooking temps, proper cleaning/disinfection/sanitation, eliminating cross-contamination, and personal hygiene in the kitchen). So important!! Thankfully, I’ve never had food borne illness from anything I’ve cooked at home, but I’ve had it twice from restaurants, and that’s the main reason I don’t eat out at all anymore.

Where I live now, there's a habit between my grandma and uncle where they leave food out for many hours. Sometimes they just put some plastic wrap over a plate and set it in the microwave. I've mentioned it being a bad idea and they give me the same "we've done it for years, never had any problems" speel. Most of the time, if I didn't prepare and put the food away, I don't have any. I'm very untrusting of food that has been sat out at room temperature for too long. I've seen them keep food in the microwave for 24+ hours and they eat it. No wonder my uncle doesn't feel so great most of the time...

​@@ravent2631 Food that is fully cooked, salted, and relatively dry can be left out at room temperature for longer than you might think. But if it's missing any of these 3 properties, it can go bad much more quickly.

That is also why food safety is taken seriously in the food service industry. I used to think Gordon Ramsey was a bit exaggerating when he yelled at owners "People can die eating this"... And close the restaurant if he found horrible things in the kitchen ( in the Kitchen Nightmares show) People really should take it seriously at home as well.

I don’t even think I can say the guy made a proper mistake, I have definitely started eating something bad and bailed on immediately before. This is the first time I’ve seen him mention the anxiety effects his videos can have so it really helps me feel alot less unreasonable for my own natural reactions to them aswell as the anxious moments in my life.

I had a microbiology lecturer in the 80s who was an expert on food microbiology and often called in by the government when an outbreak happened. Each week we would be looking at a different bacteria or bacterial family and she would pepper her lectures with actual cases, turning the class off just about every food or liquid under the sun. One rice dish killing 140 people at a wedding feast, a guy bringing uncooked lobster back from Florida to Wyoming and giving everyone cholera, a bloke getting pnuemonic anthrax in Australia (the only person ever) who had never been out of the city, but got it from working on the docks unloading rugs from Afghanistan full of anthrax spores, kids getting brucellosis from unpasteurised milk, etc, etc. You ended up realising that all food can be dangerous if handled incorrectly.

Remember tho, he died as a result of toxic mold poisoning, not bacteria. The mold that killed him can grow on food that is not yet rotten. Mold doesn’t always have a smell, and this particular mold has killed multiple people around the world after they ate fruit that was not rotten & did not smell. They just thought it was fine to eat, because in most cases mold is not particularly dangerous to consume. So sniffing your food isn’t the most reliable way to avoid being poisoned by it.

Yeah same here 😅 stuff like alcohol or drug abuse is quite normal, sometimes even medication abuse but none of those like in his videos. My roughest case was an elderly man who locked himself out and tried to climb over a balcony to get back in but he fell off and rushed about 8m deep. Luckily he survived and was at the ICU for a very long time. Unfortunately I dont know what happened to him because I changed the unit but it was very interesting for my learning 🙌🏼

Usually, yes, but don’t be surprised when these odd patients arrive. When I drove myself to the ER years ago for a wrist cut caused by a run-in with some glass, the staff all wanted to show me around as having somehow perfectly removed my skin layers without injuring the underlying tissue.

It's not good to focus on the past BUT I feel just thinking back to the last time you felt this way or had a situation similar and you didn't die, you made it thru, it blew over, weather or not it was on a good note or a bad, the facts are is it's over and done with and you made it thru, you can get thru this, you are worth it, don't let anyone disturb your peace and happiness if it has to do with other people, you can still love everyone, just love them from afar, they don't have to be around you making you feel anything other than peaceful and content (being realistic cause who ever REALLY happy now a days?) Sorry for the rant. You are worth it, we are worth it and you'll get thru whatever this is, maybe with a few dings, but buff those b*tches out and hold your head high, cause we all are worth it to not only ourselves but for the genuine people out there that you know loves you, there so done for everyone and I'm not even talking just romantically, I'm talking about genuine friendships too.... Blessed be and you got this friend..... 🌺

P. S. Good luck on writing an awesome thesis! 🌻🌻

Nobody would expect 3-NPA right from the start. The fact that only traces level of this acid was able to kill him is terrifying. 3-NPA could even exist in naturally grown sugar canes and traditionally fermented foods.

I'm always wary of fresh products and products with a high water content. Things like pasta, rice, pretty much anything packaged is probably fine past expiration if it smells fine. Even eggs are fine past expiry because they're inside a sealed she'll. But I won't touch any fruit or vegetable that looks even remotely wilted. And I refrigerate all fruit, even apples and bananas. A peeled coconut sitting on the counter for weeks? Too risky.

Stuff like bread is fine after the expiration date as long as it isnt moldy. The date generally means when it starts to get stale

@@k-isfor-kristina refrigerated banana? 💀💀💀 just eat it within like a few days of buying it. Not that hard if you get the recommended 5 servings a day

Wilting isn't an issue usually.

This is why I keep a good stash of activated charcoal around, just in case I happen to eat something I realize immediately might be bad. It's a health fad in the US but people in Asia know what I'm talking about.

@@jasonwong7140 How would charcoal save you in this case? If you had that coconut water in ur mouth then the toxin was already in you through your tongue. Its like trying to survive novichok or sarin gas like theres no way the dude was screwed.

I would like to point at that the video mentions him noticing it had been sitting there for a while, at least a month... if he been seeing it there for a while... and why was it not refrigerated? you get it at the store like that? it was a bad idea from the get go, this is no mere accident, but an act of someone just not realizing that cold things, need to stay cold. and not to drink something that needs refrigeration if its been sitting on the counter for a while. you never know what could up with it.

Just don't let it sit on the counter for a month, and if you are unsure, smell it before you drink it. You nose is pretty good at figuring out whether or not that food is safe.

@@jasonwong7140 Wat. The only thing I know that activated charcoal does is to demoisturize the air. And I'm asian

I swear this isn’t an ad, but I’ve been bingeing Fascinating Horror for the same reasons. Not sure it’s good for me! lol

It's not known if the dosage was actually very small according to the published report.

Since it's a reproductive microbe, the "dose" of fungus doesn't relate to risk of death so much as the time to elapse to reach risk of death. The poison "dose" is released by that fungus as it multiplies.

@@enjerth78 terrifying

@@enjerth78 you sure this fungus kept multiplying or making more poison afterwards ? From the video it seems the fungus only made the poison inside the coconut, and the dude drank some of the poison. Also his decline was rapid due to chain reaction rather than an increase in amount of poison. Some poisons aren't metabolised or short lived, they hang around and keep doing damage until they're either removed or it's too late.

I wonder if the guy immediately slamming some high-proof liquor after washing his mouth might have allowed a different outcome?

Millions of people drink coconut water, you just have to be careful and drink it immediately before it's expiry(which is usually about a week)

@@abdullahtrees5204 yeah I drink the carton drink ones (the water without the nut) but I don’t think I’ll use a normal coconut ever again after this story I’ll stick to the carton juice ones instead

I once had a container of it FROM a company and it had a giant mold patty in it! I was terrified but didn't get ill from the one nasty sip. Thank God. I reported it to the company altho I don't think they gave a damn. Vita coco.

​@@makeytgreatagain6256No bro even the cart ones aren't cool.

@@DreamseedVR I didn’t get vita coco. Costs too much money lol I buy a different brand and theh are alwyas on sale at Aldi and Lidl so I get 2 for £4 which is a good value as they are usually (vita coco) £3 on their own

Arghh spoiler!

@@ruthbat-leah4078 Duh, don't read comments 1st

Just avoid it by not drinking month old food that you left out when it was supposed to be in the fridge.

i still do wonder how concentrated was the toxin in that coconut that it managed to pass through the gastric system and even stayed in large enough amount that even after he vomited there's still enough to slowly kill him

Yes indeed. What is even more scary is that his wife told the doctors about the rotten coconut and they still couldn't save him

I guess that's what happens when you ingest a toxin that directly affects mitochondria, which is the powerhouse of the cell, instead of just the organs. It started from that then quickly escalated to brain, liver and kidney damage. I'm curious though if it would make any difference had the doctors found the toxin immediately.

@@somebodythatiusedtoknoooooooow that's because they only looked at ONE factoring fungus. if they looked for more they might have been able to save him.

>that could happen to basically anyone, Fresh coconut is a common drink here. There's a reason you smell it before drinking, if the fruit wasn't directly prepared infornt of you. And its not hard to tell either since rotten coconut smells like death. Also Jesus Christ, do people not do a quick smell test on anything suspicious they eat or plan to eat?

@@erinthian7122 sucks it affected his mitochondria(which are the powerhouse of the cell) but I wonder what else could have been done to save him so his mitochondria(which are the powerhouse of the cell) didn't die? Also crazy as I didn't realize that a fungus could affect mitochondria(which are the powerhouse of the cell)

Toxin acting fast is the norm. I would argue this one isnt fast enough. Cyanide works in a similar way to this toxin but block complex 4 instead can kill in miuntes.

basically it is like cyanide, as that poison works the same way, and cyanide can be made 100% natural too think I'll be using this for all the mental midgets that keep saying "Oh but that isn't natural!!!" adnuasium when talking about medications and the like!

Most of the truly insidious toxins are mitochondrial

Simple ? that's not a mistake, that's an "ideology", you trained for that. when it comes to food, if you don't know -> to the trash it go. I don't play with my health.

and this is why putting coconuts into your fridge is a life saver

With regards to monetization I would be more worried about the Doom music in the background, which was an excellent choice imo. Foreboding that this was a "doomed case".

basically all metabolic toxins will act fast if you get a lethal amount, this basically acts like cyanide.

There were multiple other videos that ended in death. I think a girl that ate a sushi from a gas station died.

@@agurdel I love the Doom music. He's been using it for a while and I thought it was so obscure no one else noticed :)

Same thought

Just like ig happens more slowly jn the fridge, it happens more slowly in cold climates. Of course rotting can occur anywhere.

@@imhere1303 He's talking about his culture shock. He's just surprised people in cold climates don't really give too much thought to perishable foods.

@@ETin6666 They do give it thought

If you live in a cold enough climate, in the winter, if it is snowy and really cold outside? You can sometimes leave food that would otherwise perish in your car for several hours. It's like using the cold as a natural refrigerator, or freezer if it's cold enough. I have done this multiple times, but only if I'm damn sure it's cold enough to be refrigeration temp. One time it even got cold enough to freeze some cans of energy drinks I had in my car and the cans burst, another time I had a bottle of unopened coca-cola i my car overnight from a blizzard, and the second I tried to open it, it flash-froze into a slushie like when you put it in the freezer for just long enough.

Reminds me of when I lived in Australia - as an American, I was lead to believe that dry lentils & beans could be put in the pantry at room temperature. Apparently not; apparently there's enough heat/humidity to partially moisturize those legumes & allow bugs to colonize them.

Same, I am concerned for their safety

He probably died. It's insane how dangerous store bought coconuts can be. I find mold in those things all the time!

One month old, rotten, coconut water.

@@DrakusLuthos Not rotten, although it could've been it was infected by a fungus.

@@leagueaddict8357 Not rotten? Then why did Dr. Bernard said so at 1:20, 4:35, 4:51, 5:13, 7:15, 8:12, and 11:22?

And most definitely don't mix leftover coconut water in a lava lamp!

@@leagueaddict8357 -🤓

*F* for the deceased man

better safe than sorry, as the saying goes

The thing is there's so many thousands of molds that will probably do nothing upon ingestion, the guy here just gulped a more dangerous specimen by sheer coincidence. It's one of those cases probably where being hit by lightning is more likely, assuming he did know the coconut wasn't fresh (I've had fresh samples and they still tasted bitter, which often indicates toxic substances).

@@whohan779 Kind of right, but it´s not the mold that is dangerous. Its the toxins made by the mold

@@whohan779 hi..what about raw coconuts..if left like that for a long time..if we drink the water after a month...will it be the same?

@@moulee007 If you only consume their pulp (which usually is fatty and with some sort of membrane) it should already smell or at least taste rancid when it's potentially unsafe to consume. In this video there were some sort of insects (w/ strong bite) portrayed upon it. Those of course indicate an infestation and are a clear warning sign. The victim apparently drank from a whole coconut and tasted something suspicious, if the shell was already cracked there probably would've been visual c(l)ues to refrain from doing so.
