Nutritionist Leanne Ely, known as @savingdinner on TikTok, shared with her followers the “three gross foods you should never eat,” providing explanations for her choices.
While her least favoured foods are very common choices for most, the expert explained the little-known reasons she kept them out of her diet.
“Three things as a nutritionist I’ll never eat, and you shouldn’t either,” Leanne started off by saying.
“Did you know you can have, according to the FDA, 20 or more maggots per 100g of mushrooms?” she asked.
“That includes the juice that they’re in. Instead, let’s go with fresh mushrooms, right?

Making light of the rather off-putting revelation, Ely questioned: “Who wants beaver butt in their vanilla ice cream?”
She suggested opting for pure vanilla extract instead, acknowledging it might be pricier but assured it’s free of beaver byproducts.
But these things didn’t seem to deter some viewers, who commented on the post sharing their views.
One person confessed, “None of these things bother me,” while another TikTok user quipped: “Maggots are good protein!”
