Does eating too much food kill? Pan Xiaoting’s death answers the question 

By Chioma Obinagwam

A social media personality, Pan Xiaoting, has reportedly died from eating too much food.

Confiance News gathered from a post by Morbid Knowledge on X.

It said:

“A 24-year-old live-streamer, known for her binge-eating broadcasts, has died after her stomach ripped open while streaming a 10-hour food binge that included eating cake and chicken fingers.

The Chinese woman, Pan Xiaoting, died last week from a suspected stomach rupture after consuming 10kg of food.

Post-mortem examination revealed that her abdomen was visibly distended and her stomach was filled with undigested food, suggesting that her stomach may have burst.”

Confiance News learnt that mal-nutrition is not only when you are under nourished because of insufficient food. It also happens when you overfeed yourself just like the case of Xiaoting.

According to an article by Critical Care, excessive protein, carbohydrate, or fat intake can result in complications such as azotaemia, hyperglycemia and fatty liver.
