A Dr's point of view


Even tho I'm a MD I fail to see the reason for doing this even as a person I think these food challenges are so stupid and idiotic. I know the majority started in Japan but they have since wisely let if fall out of fashion. 1st off doing these things can cause immediate health issues like choking or even a heart attack or stroke..Yes just doing it once can kill a person. The long term affects will be there I feel sorry for this Adam guy.

The affects of his need for fame which is tiny in comparison with other food shows will probably be felt later on in life sorry to say. And many people say why does he fail most contests its cause the brain has a cut off switch for food or liquid intake and he talks and makes too many stupid gestures that he hits the brain lock fairly fast its the reason why he fails most. I'm in Cardiologist training currently and to me this type of stuff is so ridicules and a perfect match for Americans. I know there was Nathans (who banned the unbeatable Japanese kid and hence they blatantly cheated so their contest is not so popular since they did that) but Japan really did start the fad the most famous was the gal Sono.

I'm a German born and raised but married to a American (he's 3rd gen Japanese American btw and I mention him as he told me about the Japanese doing this or used to I should say) he is also a fellow MD and I have dual citizenship as well so no I do not hate the US.

What worries me is the millions who have copied this nonsense. Oh well I said what I think and this is all this is my opinion so no immature or rude comments but like my sig says I never come back to posts as too busy and have no need.

All you all have your own rights to do dumb things so hey go for it. Just saying be careful Ive seen people in the ER during residency that tried these and many other things they have seen on TV and some were not so lucky (EG: they'll never eat or do what they saw ever again if you get my meaning very sad for things so ludicrous) its not all fun and games. Thankfully its falling out of style here as well.
