Human beings are greedy for food, but human flesh is a sacred food that they don't normally eat. We hear that cannibalism is called 'cannibalism ,' but what actually happens when humans eat human flesh?



Cannibalism is common in the world of snails, fish, and insects.



Some spiders even have mother spiders that feed themselves to their larvae.



However, cannibalism is extremely rare in mammals. Rabbits that are overly stressed may eat their young, but this is rare.



French paleontologists have also discovered that Neanderthals practiced cannibalism 100,000 years ago.



In the 20th century, human blood was prescribed as a therapeutic drug, but it did not reach the level of cannibalism.



The reality is that eating human meat without proper temperature control can cause symptoms such as hepatitis and Ebola hemorrhagic fever. There is also a risk of E. coli and bacteria forming in internal organs.



Red meat contains myoglobin and iron in its muscles.



Each leg is 10,000 Kcal...



The heart is 700Kcal



The entire human body has 81,000 Kcal. However, half of your total calories can come from fat.



Regarding the taste of human meat, there is an anecdote that it tastes like something between pork and veal, and a cooking robot scan recognizes it as bacon, so it seems to have a good taste, but humans Eating meat carries the risk of

contracting prions .



Prions, which are considered to be a type of protein, are not completely understood.



However, it is known that when prions are taken into the body, they cause a chain reaction that converts normal proteins into prions, causing disease.



When prions spread to the brain...



Brain cells become sponge-like and stale and die.



Unlike viruses and bacteria, which contain DNA and RNA, prions cannot be killed by radiation or heat.



The risk of prions is that they occur in internal organs and muscles, but there is a particularly high probability that they occur in the brain.



In the Fora tribe of Papua New Guinea, a disease called ``Kuru disease'' occurred frequently .



If you contract Kuru disease, you will not be able to control your emotions and will eventually die.



It is thought that the disease caused by prions occurred because the Fore people had a custom of cannibalism, as eating the flesh of the dead was considered a way to mourn the dead. Furthermore, although the practice of cannibalism among the Fore people has been banned, it is also known that there is an incubation period for prion outbreaks, such as Kuru disease sometimes developing 50 years after they stopped eating cannibals.



Therefore, it can be said that it is risky for humans to eat human flesh.



As long as we have delicious meat such as beef, there is no need to take the big risk of eating human flesh.
