Is a common food ingredient actually a deadly poison? No.

Researchers at the University of Kansas have discovered that no common food ingredient is actually a deadly poison, even white flour, sugar, or those with chemical-sounding names. This comes as shocking news to many people, who had assumed most foods were, in fact, life-threatening substances.

The researchers found that, while many food ingredients may have an overall negative health impact when eaten in large doses over a long period of time, all substances tested were well tolerated in smaller doses by almost everyone.

In light of these findings, nutritionists offer the following recommendations:

1. Eat more vegetables.
2. Eat a little less junk food.
3. Don't worry so much.
4. Remember that no food is actually a deadly poison.
