Summary: I'm sure we all realize, now, that everything can kill us. Not only, to paraphrase Chuck, is everything eventually going to run out of timeline, but there is some Quantity K of any substance where it will stop a human from existing in a living sense. io9 lists 10 foods that should be, and are, healthy but have hidden toxins in them.

io9 lists how everything that sounds good for you can kill you...
I'd be lying if I didn't admit that the a chance to poke Sarah and Alicia about how health foods ARE FULL OF TOXINS was too good to pass up, but still. Makes intersting reading. io9's "10 Foods in Your Kitchen Are Gruesome Poisons" talks about how kidney beans, egg whites, whole wheat bread, and "every green thing you've ever eaten" have some hidden toxin or poison or hormone blocker that will sneak up on you. For the most part (exceptions seem to include the kidney bean one), most of these poisons require quantity. Lots of quantity. Some mystical Quantity K that is the end times for the devourer.
My favorite? Cashews contain urushiol.
