Eating too much cheese can lead to poisoning called Tyrotoxism.
Infact verdict: Mixed (48/100).
The claim that eating too much cheese can lead to poisoning is partially supported by evidence indicating that high levels of tyramine in cheese can cause health issues for sensitive individuals. However, the term 'Tyrotoxism' is incorrect; the correct term is histamine poisoning. Therefore, the claim is misleading due to the incorrect terminology, but it has a basis in the potential health effects of consuming large amounts of cheese.
