Interesting Food - Biscuits

Eating too many biscuits can put you in a coma.

(This became clear when food writer, Kevin Shalin, tried to beat a restaurant’s customer record of scoffing hundreds of butter-rich biscuits failed - and he slipped into a coma. He told friends he feltdizzy after he had eaten 412, but he continued with the 413th and fell on the ground convulsing.

Doctors believe the butter from the biscuits blocked signals coming from his brain.

Yesterday hospital officials said they had already drained approximately two gallons of butter!  Luckily they expect him to make a full recovery.

I remember I made myself sick eating peanuts, but I was about 9 at the time.)
