It sucks, but one of my favorite pastries may be more dangerous than I previously assumed. Each 85C Boroh Cream Danish bun is a ton of bread + carbs, meaning it takes time for my body to process. (The added sugar comes in at 6g, so that’s not too bad.) If I eat one for breakfast, I would be well-advised to skip my regular morning banana, eggs and cheese. Failure to do so may result in food blockages.
Speaking of potentially harmful foods, recently I have come across a few others as well. Green powder is a dietary supplement suggested by my brother Chris. The Amazing Grass Greens Blend that I’ve been taking does not dissolve well in water. Often, I find chunks of powder at the bottom of the cup. I remember a similar issue coming up with Orgain Plant Protein Powder. That made the Orgain difficult to swallow; Amazing Grass could be the same.
The huge bag of Halls menthol cough drops was purchased from Safeway. My plan was to use them while I waited for my Ricola cough drops to ship from Amazon. I can’t say for certain, but it feels like sucking on a Halls drop leaves some sticky residue on the top of my throat.
Finally, chia seeds. I bought a big bag from Costco when I went there with my dad earlier in the month. These seeds are famous for expanding when soaked in water or milk. Unfortunately, for me, that may not be a positive. I can imagine the half-expanded seeds cluttering up the throat and making it harder for things to pass.
Of course, all of these fears may be unfounded. Nevertheless, I’m still going to be careful.
