The human stomach can technically handle 50 eggs, but that doesn’t mean it’s safe or healthy.
Consuming such a large quantity of eggs leads to an excessive intake of calories and protein.
This overload puts pressure on the stomach and gastric system, potentially leading to:
Bloating
Acidity
Gas
Severe digestive discomfort
Nutrient absorption becomes compromised, and the body struggles to process such a large load at once.
Liver and kidney function may be affected, especially in those with pre-existing health conditions.
In extreme cases, eating 50 eggs at once can even lead to death.
