As morbid as the headline you just read is, it’s actually a pretty fascinating question.
YouTube channel AsapSCIENCE has almost 6.8 million subscribers, a real knack for this kind of thing, and a history for looking into deadly amounts – which you’ll find out about later.
Here they are to explain more.
Perhaps a recap will help. AsapSCIENCE’s team of Mitchell Moffit and Gregory Brown source a plethora of scientific papers and articles to find answers to your science questions. So based on their research, here’s 12 things which could kill you – fun!
1. 129 teaspoons of pepper.
3. 10.5 cups of suger (assuming you’re 150lbs (68kg)).
5. 68 nanograms of botox.
6. Around 11,000 oranges or 809 vitamin C supplement pills.
8. An internal body temperature of 40C.
10. 7,143 abdominal X-rays in a row.
12. About 480 bananas.
But wait, there’s more – and part one of the Canadian YouTubers’ “this much will kill you” theme is well worth a watch.
