Шок-контент: сморчки и шампиньоны есть больше нельзя

Summary

In this video, the speaker delves into alarming news regarding certain edible mushrooms, such as morels and common champignons, which have been found to contain toxic substances known as hydrazines. These compounds, similar to those found in rocket fuel, can cause severe health issues like liver cancer, blood disorders, and even death if consumed improperly. The video urges caution when preparing these mushrooms, advising thorough boiling and discarding the water to reduce the risk of poisoning. The speaker warns viewers to be cautious and adjust their culinary habits based on new scientific findings about these fungi.

Takeaways

• 😀 New information suggests some well-known edible mushrooms, like morels and champignons, may contain harmful substances.
• 😀 Hydrazides, similar to rocket fuel components, are present in certain mushrooms like morels and can cause severe health issues when consumed improperly.
• 😀 The most dangerous hydrazides in mushrooms, such as monomethylhydrazine, can lead to liver cancer, blood damage, and gastrointestinal issues if ingested raw or undercooked.
• 😀 While some morel species are safe, others contain dangerous levels of hydrazides and require proper cooking techniques to reduce risk.
• 😀 Champignons (common white mushrooms) contain a substance called agaritine, which is a hydrazide that poses similar risks when consumed raw or insufficiently cooked.
• 😀 Experimental studies have shown that agaritine can lead to liver cancer in animals, emphasizing the importance of cooking champignons properly.
• 😀 The risk of poisoning from morels is now linked to a new syndrome called 'morel intoxication,' which manifests as symptoms similar to poisoning from other mushrooms with hydrazides.
• 😀 Morel intoxication can lead to dizziness, diarrhea with blood, and in severe cases, seizures, hallucinations, and even death.
• 😀 Proper preparation of mushrooms, such as boiling them and discarding the water, can reduce the risk of poisoning by removing harmful toxins.
• 😀 New research urges caution and the need to cook even common mushrooms like champignons thoroughly by boiling and discarding the water before cooking.

Q & A

What new dangers related to edible mushrooms have been discovered recently?

Recent studies in mycotoxicology have revealed new dangers regarding well-known edible mushrooms, particularly those containing hydrazines, compounds related to rocket fuel, which can have toxic effects when consumed improperly.

What is the danger of eating certain species of morel mushrooms (morchella)?

Some species of morel mushrooms contain hydrazines that can cause severe poisoning, including dizziness, nausea, blood diarrhea, and in extreme cases, even death. These mushrooms need to be boiled and the water discarded to reduce the risk.

What specific toxin is found in some edible mushrooms like the morel and certain types of chantarelles?

Some edible mushrooms like morels and chantarelles contain hydrazine compounds, such as monomethylhydrazine, which is a potent hepatocarcinogen and can damage blood cells, especially if the mushrooms are consumed raw or undercooked.

How do hydrazines in mushrooms affect the human body?

Hydrazines in mushrooms can block the synthesis of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and cause significant damage to blood cells, particularly white blood cells, leading to poisoning symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and even coma in severe cases.

What type of poisoning does the morel mushroom cause if eaten improperly?

Improper consumption of morel mushrooms can lead to a syndrome called 'morel intoxication', which manifests as neurological symptoms, including dizziness, blood diarrhea, and even convulsions, similar to poisoning from agaritin in raw champignons or hydrazines in toxic morels.

What is the relationship between raw champignons and hydrazines?

Raw champignons contain agaritin, a hydrazine compound similar to those found in toxic morels. If consumed in large quantities or insufficiently cooked, agaritin can cause liver cancer and other severe toxic effects.

How did recent experiments with rats and raw champignons demonstrate the risks of consuming these mushrooms?

Experiments with rats fed raw champignons revealed that they developed liver cancer, similar to the effects seen with hydrazine poisoning from certain mushrooms, highlighting the dangers of consuming these mushrooms without proper cooking.

What safety precautions should be taken when consuming morel mushrooms, champignons, or similar fungi?

All morel mushrooms, champignons, and similar mushrooms should be thoroughly boiled and the water discarded before consumption to remove harmful hydrazines and other toxins. This precaution reduces the risk of poisoning and adverse health effects.

Why is it important to boil morel mushrooms and other similar fungi before eating them?

Boiling morel mushrooms and other similar fungi helps to eliminate harmful hydrazines, which could otherwise cause poisoning or liver damage. This is essential for safely consuming these mushrooms, as the toxins are water-soluble and can be removed by discarding the boiling water.

What is the potential future research regarding morel mushrooms and their toxins?

Future research may focus on identifying the specific hydrazine compounds in morel mushrooms and other fungi, potentially revealing variations in toxin levels based on geographic location and species, and further clarifying safety protocols for consumption.
