From a professor in a prestigious university to a big eater ranked 17 in the world, she died suddenly. What did she experience?
Is it natural to be able to eat like this? Is her death related to the Big Eater game?
Figure1
Today, Inspector Long will take you to learn about the story about the Big Eater.
Big Eater Champion Death
On September 9, 2019, local time in the United States, Chinese professional big eater player Li Hui (Juliet lee), unfortunately died suddenly at the age of 55.
Since she started participating in the Big Eater Competition, she is 1.52 tall and weighs 45 kg, and has broken many records.
is also enthusiastic and lively, and she is full of positive energy. She is loved and respected by many people in the Big Eater Competition Community. Everyone calls her "lovely Juliet".
Li Hui was born in China in 1964. She was a professor of chemistry at at Nanjing University. In 1992, she immigrated to Montgomery County, Maryland, USA and operated several hair salons.
One day in 2006, Li Hui walked on the street and was attracted by the lively sounds on the street. She stopped and saw crowds of people forming a big circle.
Figure 2
Li Hui then squeezed in with her petite body. The scene in front of her surprised her. She saw several strong people constantly stuffing things into their mouths, and the people next to her were still cheering for them.
Li Hui had never seen such a scene before, and couldn't help but feel novel and exciting, and she was almost unable to contain her eagerness to try.
It was also in the same year that Li Hui participated in an amateur pizza competition for the first time. She ate 11 pieces of pizza in ten minutes and easily won the championship!
was also an opportunity for Li Hui to discover the potential of her big eater, and began to fight in various big eater competitions, and changed from an amateur to a professional.
After Li Hui became a professional player, she even passed five levels and defeated six generals.

Hot Dog Eating Competition originated in 1916 in the United States and has a history of more than a hundred years.
At that time, four immigrants who had just arrived in New York decided to eat hot dogs in a competition to see who loves the United States the most. The champion that year ate 13 hot dogs in 10 minutes.
The annual hot dog competition will be held in various places for the preliminary competition, and the last 20 big eaters selected will be held at the "Nathan" store in Coney Island on July 4.
"Nathan" is a famous hot dog shop. It opened in Coney Island in 1916. Since then, it has become larger and larger in scale and more chain stores. The hot dog competition on July 4th every year has also been carried out.
Just one year later, in the 2008 competition, Li Hui ate 42 hot dogs in ten minutes and won the best female contestant!
Don’t even look at her eating so much, she has never been fat before.
Li Hui also took courses in college and studied modern dance . She is usually a person who loves fitness and is good at swimming and yoga.
Figure 4
When participating in the competition, she always tied her long T-shirt into a short style, revealing her flat belly, and vaguely seeing her abdominal muscles.
is in sharp contrast with the burly and big eater beside him who has a big belly.
2019 Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Competition in New York, she also won the Chinese championship. I also accepted an interview with reporters before the
competition, saying that it was a coincidence that I participated in the hot dog competition, and now it has become a fun and hobby for me.
will continue to participate in the competition with the spirit of entertainment in the future and enjoy the competition with a good physical condition.
What everyone did not expect was that she suddenly passed away two months later!
In her more than ten years of career, she has participated in hundreds of big eater competitions, and has set a record of eating 13 kilograms of jelly in 8 minutes and eating 32 oysters in 8 minutes.
also showed on the video platform that ate 24 burgers in one go and swallowed 39 raw eggs.
Is her death related to her multiple participation in big eater competitions?
Figure 5
Is binge eating fatal?
The highly respected big eater Li Hui suddenly died, which caused speculation, and the outside world generally believes that the cause of his death is related to his professional experience.
The chairman of the Professional Big Eater League specially recorded a video, claiming that Li Hui is in good health and often participates in various sports, and has never heard of any disease.
He can say with certainty that Li Hui's death has nothing to do with the Big Eater game. But even so, he did not explain why Li Hui died.
He stood up to explain whether he knew the inside story or was eager to get rid of it? We don't know.
Her family was just vague, saying that they hoped to maintain privacy.
And it is also uncountable for people who unfortunately died because of the big eater competition.
In 2017, an American girl Caitlyn Nelson died on the spot while participating in a charity big eater competition because she was stuck in a trachea.
The pancake formed a concrete block in her respiratory tract.
Figure 6
The same day, Denver A man also suffocated in another big eater match as he tried to eat a half-pound donut in one and a half minutes.
The popularity of the big eater has led many people to start eating broadcasts to earn traffic.
In 2019, a Japanese woman broadcast live on a video platform. She said she wanted to finish this red bean glutinous rice ball in one breath.
But this rice ball is a highly elastic food. When she ate it, she found it harder to swallow than she thought, and finally she was choked alive.
At the beginning, he paid attention to his image, covered his mouth with a tissue, and wanted to solve it myself, but he quickly fell down.
There is no one around her who can help her. Some viewers watching the live broadcast called the police, but they don’t know the exact address.
Netizens speculated that they might have been suffocated before the police arrived. Sure enough, three days later, her son announced her death.

Eating too fast or eating too much will directly cause damage to the body.
The direct harm of eating too much is to increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, causing indigestion, and people are prone to discomfort such as stomach acid, bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, etc., which can also damage the gastric mucosa and cause diseases such as gastric perforation.
Even if there are people who unfortunately die in the competition every year, there are still people who continue to participate. Why is this?
"big eater" who gains fame and fortune both
In the United States, there will be dozens of amateur and professional competitive diet competitions throughout the year. Participants face as much food as mountains, and whoever eats the most is the winner within the specified time.
In fact, in addition to the United States, there is also Japan. Big Eater has become very mature and professional in these countries, and is the same as boxers, football players, etc.
American star big eater Joey Chesnart , started his career in 2007, and he won a total of 44 world records, including eating 73.5 hot dogs in a big eater competition in 2016.
Figure 8
He also said that if there is no time limit, he is confident that he can eat 90 hot dogs in a row. (American hot dogs are not just sausages, but hot dogs with two thick breads to hold a sausage).
According to the bonus records that can be found, Joey won at least $1.5 million through the competition.
In addition to this, there are many commercial endorsements, and he has also launched food products named after himself.
Another Japanese big eater player Kobayashi Zun , who can compete with Joey, has accumulated a total of US$3 million since entering the professional circle in 2001.
, and one of his short video channels has more than 9 million followers, and their traffic revenue is at least more than US$6,000 per day.
In addition to countless local competitions, the annual prize pool of the National Big Eater Challenge is about $500,000.
Some people will think this way, and they can eat enough and get bonuses, so why not do it?
Figure 9
So even though relevant departments in some countries have repeatedly warned the danger of this activity in recent years, the competition competition is still welcomed by many people.
Some people also ask, how can we become a big eater? Are some people born with such a big stomach?
The food I ate at one time is almost as high as what I have eaten in a month. Can my stomach bear it?
The natural "big stomach"?
A gastroenterology expert Mark Levine said that big eaters are not born, and this can be trained.
But the willpower and self-discipline required are not something that ordinary people can bear, because the natural reaction of the body needs to be overcome.
Ordinary people will feel nauseous when they eat a lot of food, but as professional players, they must overcome it through training.
Over the years, by eating more and more foods, they will learn to overcome the feeling of fullness and reduce the number of gastric peristalsis, so that they can accommodate more and more foods.
Figure 10
For example, Japanese sumo athletes, everyone knows that their figure is very strong.
They gradually exercise and increase their appetite by eating a lot of food. They can eat 10 to 20 times the appetite of normal people, and the calories of each meal are also between 10,000 and 20,000 calories.
Japan has also reported that in addition to persisting in exercise, the world-class eater Kobayashi also expands the stomach wall by drinking a lot of water and eating a lot of low-calorie and high-fiber foods such as cabbage.
Joey Chesnart also said when talking about his secret to winning the Big Gasket Championship that he would test two months in advance and spend ten minutes to eat as many hot dogs as possible.
Then every time I practice, I will eat a little more than last time, so that the stomach can adapt first.
The closer you get to the competition, the less you eat, and you will eat nothing on the last day.
In addition to continuous training, the most important thing is the stomach.
Figure 11
The stomach belongs to a hollow organ and is elastic in itself.
The stomach before eating on an empty stomach is like a balloon that has not been inflated, with only about 50 ml. The stomach capacity of an average adult can reach 1500 ml.
If you eat a lot of things every day and keep holding up the balloon, the volume will gradually increase after emptying.
If has less visceral fat, the organs are healthy and elastic, and the body can hold more food.
This is why some big eaters look thin, but eat more than some strong-bodied people.
However, human stomach function is limited, and it will always cause problems if you use it for a long time sooner or later!
Is there really someone who doesn’t get fat if you eat wildly?
In 2007, a scholar from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine published a study in the American Journal of Radiology.
research content is to observe the stomachs of those big eater competition champions and related professional players, and how they will change after eating.
Figure 12
The result was unexpected. After eating a hot dog like a mountain, these people did not experience dangerous scenes such as acute gastric perforation, and the stomach and intestines did not undergo rapid peristalsis.
instead gradually forms a very relaxed sac, and then more and more food is contained.
has won the championship of the "Big Eater" challenge many times, and Yuka Kinoshita is considered a veteran in the Japanese food broadcasting industry.
She once performed after eating eight kilograms of fried noodles in three minutes and 20 seconds, and ate 62 giant burgers in 7 minutes, and could eat 500 sushi at a time.
But no matter how she eats, her weight is always at 86 kilograms, she is always slim and slender, and with her cute and clean appearance and eating, she once became popular on the Internet.
There was a program that followed her to explore the reasons why she didn’t get fat after eating so much.
through ct scan found that her stomach can reach 66 times the size of a normal person after eating!
Figure 13
And I didn’t feel any discomfort. Among other check items, the data of Kinoshita is no different from that of normal people.
Eat so much but don’t gain weight. The stomach’s ability to expand is good, but it is not harmful to the body.
You can imagine that the stomach of an ordinary person is as big as a fist. Kinoshita expanded 66 times after eating it. Wouldn’t the entire abdominal cavity be filled with the stomach! How can
not harm the body?
In some videos she posted in 2019, it can be clearly seen that she has gained a lot of weight, and her masseter muscles have also become bigger, and her whole face looks a little broken.
When will they digest so much?
In fact, many big eaters will not bring much burden to the metabolic system because they will excrete these foods through vomiting, but this will cause great harm to the throat.
Induce vomiting simply, it means using your fingers to pick your throat and promote vomiting.
In this process, not only undigested foods are spit out, but also gastric juice, gastric acid, etc.
Figure 14
Repeated contact with gastric acid in the esophagus will not only cause arrhythmia, convulsions, shock , and epilepsy, but also cause esophageal scars and inflammation, which is a risk factor for cancer.
Gastric acid can also directly damage teeth. Generally speaking, teeth belong to the hardest part of the human body and will not be easily destroyed.
However, if vomiting is repeated, gastric acid will repeatedly corrode the teeth, which will cause tooth rot in the long run.
People who induce vomiting for a long time will also be prone to anorexia. In mild cases, the face is swollen and the eyes are unintelligent. In severe cases, anorexia and bulimia will occur alternately, and even accompanied by depression.
Inspector Long said
On August 12, 2020, CCTV had already criticized the "big eater" behavior, saying that this move was seriously wasted and misleading consumption.
Although the word "big eater" is searched on some short video platforms now, there are no such videos of eating wildly, has it really disappeared?
Figure 15
Maybe it's just a change of soup and no medicine. Some video bloggers are still eating big to attract attention and exchange traffic.
Inspector Dragon also reminds everyone here to look at it rationally, not to imitate blindly, cherish life, cherish food, and resist waste!
