How do fans react?
The video has grabbed eyeballs from all across the world and many people are reacting to the post.
One of the social media users wrote, “Welcome to heavy metal poisoning.”
"Gold doesn't get absorbed by the body. So this is just an EXTRA way of pooping gold," another user wrote.
One of the users wrote jokingly, “So this dal was preserved in this ‘Sanduk’ for how many years ???”
Is it safe to eat?
Many people showed their concern about the edibility of gold. Assuring you that it is an edible gold when taken as a garnish or decorative element, it is deemed safe for consumption in smaller quantities. It is not absorbed by the digestive system. However, the consumption of this dal in large quantities is still not advisable due to a lack of comprehensive research on its long-term effects. Most importantly, its negligible nutritional benefits.
