Video - Tapeworm Diet: The 20th Century's Most Bizarre Weight Loss Craze!

Did you know that one of the most absurd diets in history involved eating tapeworms? In the early 20th century, people desperate for extreme weight loss turned to the "tapeworm diet." They'd ingest a pill containing tapeworm eggs, hoping the worms would consume the food in their stomachs. Side effects? Oh, just minor issues like nausea, headaches, and, you know, the worms possibly escaping! Once they'd had enough weight loss—or maybe too many worms—they'd take another pill to kill the parasites. Unsurprisingly, this "diet" didn't stick around long. Would you dare try this wiggly weight loss method? Let us know in the comments!
