Tomato overload? Time to switch up your menu!

Handle with care -- itchy palms await.

Beware the tuna.

Tinnitus

MSG: FDA-approved, side effects included.

Dark Green Veggies

... Broccoli?
![Half of the vegetable aisle can make you burp, pass gas, and feel bloated. This includes beans, peas, lentils, cabbage, onions, broccoli, cauliflower, whole grains, mushrooms, some fruits, and beer and other fizzy drinks. CRACKED](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/8/8/1/888881.jpg)
Gassy veggies: not so sweet.
![Half of the remaining half of the vegetable aisle like Brussels sprouts, cucumbers, green peppers, onions, radishes, celery, and carrots can give you gas because they contain a lot of raffinose, a type of sugar, and fructans, a type of fiber made of fructose molecules.

Watch your poo-poo hues.

Carrots: not so great for your complexion!
