Food that kills 20,000 people every year!

 There is also a popular dish in the 

world which kills around 20,000 

people every year.

A popular traditional dish eaten in Thailand 

and Laos is called 'Koi Pla', which is 

said to be responsible for nearly 

20,000 deaths. The dish called 'Koi 

Pla' includes herbs, raw fish, lemon 

juice and spices.

The main problem with this dish 

used as a salad is the raw fish, fresh 

water fish that the locals add to the 

salad without cooking it.

It is noteworthy that in this fish 

there are many insects and bacteria 

living in the water which are called 

'live flukes' and cause cancer in 

humans.

These worms are responsible

for the deadliest of all cancers 

called cholangiocarcinoma. Bile 

duct cancer causes the death of 

about  20,000 people in Thailand 

alone.

Liver surgeon at Khon Kaen 

University, Thailand, Narong 

Khintikeo told international media 

that this food causes health 

problems among people here.

He said that eating it causes health 

problems but no one thinks about it 

because people die silently.
