Contain oxalic acid which can bind calcium so that calcium can not be utilized by the body and form crystals that can irritate the stomach and form a kidney stone. High content of oxalic acid in spinach can be dangerous to a person because only with 4-5 grams of oxalic acid can cause death in adults.
Symptoms: gastrointestinal disorders (abdominal cramps and vomiting - vomiting) were quickly followed by circulatory disorders, rupture of blood vessels, and death in severe cases.

Tip: do not choose peanut greenish black, bitter, hollow, wrinkled, partially peel the husk and water level. Ordinary cooking deadly poison will not cause aflatoxin in peanuts will be damaged at temperatures of 250 C so how is the first drying peanuts that have been peeled for 6 hours to weaken 50% poison. Save peanut products processed in the fridge to retard the growth of the fungus
Contains solanine and chaconine gikoalkoloid where a lot of class on stained green potato tuber, sprout, and physically have deer or rot

Tip: Avoid eating too much raw celery. It will be safer if the celery is cooked before consumption because psoralen can decompose through the cooking process, giving rise to poisoning.

1. The Toxic Substances are often Located on Fruits and Vegetables
There are so many factors that make why fruits and vegetables are actually healthy and then become dangerous and not suitable for consumption, among others, due to wrong treatment or because of other external factors. Fruits and vegetables are actually rich in various vitamins, minerals, fiber, and contains no harmful fats. Fruits that contain essential nutrients and limited from artificial additives are very good for growing children. However, unfortunately not all the fruit unfit for consumption, because it contains a variety of harmful substances, such as:
a.Pathogens
Pathogenic bacteria often found in fresh fruits caused by external factors, such as fruits available in supermarkets, usually stored in open containers. Some prospective buyers biasanyaakan holding fruit to ensure the condition. In addition, there are many pathogens that are transmitted by air and is very easy to stick to the fruit.
b. Allergic reaction
One can feel the allergies are all things, including fruits. Allergic reactions vary from slight itching in the mouth, skin rash, to vomiting. People with irritable syndrome usu-sensitive large can sanget certain fruits.
c. Pesticide
In the beginning we've touched on pesticides. Pesticides found on fruit skin leaves a residue that can seep up into the inside of the fruit. If it settles in the consumption of fruit in mausia indirectly we have been consuming poison. There are four popular types of pesticides, namely Captan, Iprodine, Malathion and carbaryl. Two types of pesticides, namely man killing machine, because the bias induced cancer (carcinogenic).
d. Mushrooms
The fruit is very susceptible to weather. If the fruit is exposed to collisions and bruising occurs, then the fruit is likely to be susceptible to mildew and eventually rot. Indeed, if we look from the outside, the fungus is not so visible. In addition, there were also changes color slightly pale, stained, and look dull.
Mycotoxin produced by a fungus can cause various health problems, such as digestive disorders, nerve, liver and heart. If you see the fruit of the fungus terkea then immediately discard and not be consumed. One type of fungus is Deadly Conocybe.
2. Impact of Toxic Substances in Fruits and Vegetables on Health

Pda serious cases, this bias condition causes the victim to experience seizures, coma, and even death caused bias.
While the reaction is slow, it does not cause things strange and dangerous when finished eating them. It takes a relatively long time, so did not realize the impact directly. Slowly but surely, substances contained in the food stays in the body and cause various reactions dangers slowly menggeroti and damage the body's cells.
3. Vegetable Gardens in Roadside Turns Dangerous
Bias human suffering caused by breathing polluted air, and caused by eating food contaminated with heavy metals. Lots of fruit crops such as vegetables, rice, grass, some kind of legume for fodder, vegetables contaminated with heavy metals. Generally, grass-fed beef cattle contain heavy metals or plants grown in contaminated environments.
Some manufacturers maanan often use old newspapers. This act sebernarnya not recommended, because it causes the migration of heavy metals from the former newspaper ink. PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride) and Styrofoam also allows the migration of arsenic into the food, because it is made from material that is aromatic.
Here are a few statements after the scientists doing research on foods that contain heavy metals:
- Vegetables were planted on the edge of the highway contains contaminants of lead high enough. The results showed that the average abortion at 28.78 ppm, far above the safe limit of the allowed Directorate General of Food and Drug Administration, which is 2 ppm (Winarno, 1997).
- Other foodstuffs are reported to have high levels of lead which is tin (50-100 meg / kg), fish (170mkg/kg). The highest group was shellfish (mollusk) and crustaceans (crustaceans), which is an average higher than 250 meg / kg (Winarno and Rahayu, 1994).
- Types of heavy metals in food is often precipitated Pb, Cd, Cu, and Zn. According to a research, the mercury content of paddy rice harvested from the waste stream in the mountains of the traditional gold and Kalongliud NUnggul around Pongkor, Bogor, West Java, masinh each reached 0.45 and 0.25 ppm (Sutono, 2002) .
- Copper (Cu) is contained in vegetables or fruits if given in large amounts of pesticides.
