There are foods that can cause a myocardial infarction within hours or even minutes of consumption, when certain preconditions are met. My answer, while still based on science, is a humoristic take on the facts. To all potential homicidal and/ or suicidal readers: Doing what is described below would be illegal, unethical and, to put it bluntly, dumb beyond all measure. You may cause permanent disability and the likelihood of a lethal myocardial infarction would still be close to zero. So, read on for entertainment purposes only:
Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you our 3-course menu, guaranteed to make you appreciate life even more.
Hors d'oeuvre
Dinner guests who are taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOIs) for depression, may appreciate reading some articles on the risk of myocardial infarction from eating tyramine-rich foods such as cheese while on MAOI therapy. In the meantime, our chef will prepare the most delicious hors d'oeuvre with aged cheese.
Humans (and other mammals) need a certain amount of monoamine neurotransmitters such as serotonin and norepinephrine/ adrenaline around their brain cells in order to be able to feel happy. An enzyme called monoamine oxidase breaks down excess monoamines in several cell types, otherwise – you know – too much of a good thing.
In people with depression, the circuit of these neurotransmitters does not function properly, for example due to lack of adequately functional receptors. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) block the monoamine oxidase, so that the patients may benefit from a higher neurotransmitter concentration in the synaptic cleft

Tyramine is a naturally occurring monoamine, which is found in many foods and drinks and stimulates the release of catecholamines (norepinephrine/ adrenaline) in the body. Excess tyramine is normally broken down by monoamine oxidase. Enter MAOI therapy. If you take an MAOI and you eat high-tyramine foods, tyramine can quickly reach dangerous levels. This can result in a high spike in blood pressure, severe enough to cause a myocardial infarction, as some case reports have shown. It even has a scientific name (seriously): the “cheese effect”.

Therefore, make sure you have taken your MAOI before coming to dinner so as to really appreciate our cheddar.

Main course
Moving on to the main course. Guests with a known allergy may speak with the chef in order to have a special meal, containing all their favourite allergens, which may cause a myocardial infarction through a Kounis syndrome.
An anaphylactic reaction causes an uncontrolled widening of the blood vessels in the body (systemic vasodilation) and increases the permeability of the vessels (swelling). The blood pressure goes way down, leading to cardiovascular collapse. This alone could lead to myocardial infarction in susceptible patients, but why leave it at that when you can have the real deal?

he Kounis syndrome, ladies and gentlemen, or else the anaphylaxis associated acute coronary syndrome. The mediators released in an anaphylactic reaction can cause a narrowing of the blood vessels of the heart through contraction of their muscular wall (coronary vasoconstriction, the opposite of what happens in the rest of the body) and may even trigger a thrombosis. It may happen with any food you are allergic to: shellfish, mushrooms, nuts, rice, etc. If you have trouble remembering which allergen you can(not) live without, you may be tempted to read various case reports on Kounis syndrome. My favourite is the last one, the report of a patient who repeatedly ate rice in the hospital to prove that it was the rice that was causing him ST-elevation myocardial infarctions. Needless to say, he was right.

Dessert
Room for dessert? How about some psychedelic recreation? You may have heard of magic mushrooms (sorry, they are all out!), but I guess that not many of you will have heard of “mad honey”. “Mad honey” is a special type of honey that contains grayanotoxins, made by bees with an appetite for the nectar of Rhododendron ponticum, a shrub with quite beautiful flowers native to southern Europe, especially the Pontic region of Turkey and southwest Asia. In Nepal, people take it so as to experience hallucinations with a “spiritual” motivation.

It is highly poisonous and the people knowingly taking it are equally (if not more) mad than the honey itself

The picture saying that 1 tablespoon would be safe is a fraud. Even a small dose may be lethal, mainly due to its potential for causing severe bradycardia and hypotension by blocking the conduction of the heart’s electrical impulse from the atria to the ventricles (AV-block).
https://thedrugclassroom.com/video/mad-honey-grayanotoxins/
There are various case reports of myocardial infarction after mad honey ingestion. I saved my favourite one for last: A case of a married Turkish couple, where a 50-year-old husband and a 42-year-old wife both consumed mad honey for its alleged aphrodisiac properties. Within 3 hours they both presented at the emergency department. BOTH of them had an acute inferior myocardial infarction. Talk about “till death do us part”.

Can you eat a sugar Apple?
Sugar apple is one of the famous fruits in tropical regions, also known as custard apple, which is mainly produced in tropical regions.

Can you eat a sugar Apple?
Sugar apple is one of the famous fruits in tropical regions, also known as custard apple, which is mainly produced in tropical regions.
Sugar apple is a little bigger than ordinary fruit, its length is 6cm to 12cm, its diameter is 5cm to 10cm, and its weight is about 200g to 300g.
The flesh of the sugar apple is creamy yellow or white, and very soft, and its taste is a bit like lychee, also a bit like guava, but the flesh is more tender

Sugar apple is a little bigger than ordinary fruit, its length is 6cm to 12cm, its diameter is 5cm to 10cm, and its weight is about 200g to 300g.
The flesh of the sugar apple is creamy yellow or white, and very soft, and its taste is a bit like lychee, also a bit like guava, but the flesh is more tender.
Sugar apple is an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C, dietary fiber, carbohydrates, and minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, etc., and its nutritional value is very rich.
100 grams of Sugar apple contains 36.5 mg of vitamin C, which is much higher than most fruits.
Vitamin C is a natural antioxidant. Eating some sugar apples regularly can remove free radicals in the body, enhance the elasticity and toughness of the skin, and delay the aging process of the skin.
Sugar apple also has the effect of activating brain cells, which can enhance brain vitality and provides cognitive and psychological benefits.
In addition, Sugar apple contains a lot of dietary fiber. 100 grams of Sugar apple contains 4.5 grams of dietary fiber. Dietary fiber can accelerate gastrointestinal motility, enhance metabolism, and eliminate toxins and garbage
