'No Food, Just 7-8 Liters Of Engine Oil Daily': Karnataka Man's Shocking '30-Year Healthy Life' Claim
Shivamogga, Karnataka: In a bizarre story from Karnataka, a man has been living by drinking only engine oil every day for the past 33 years. Instead of food items, the man claims his daily diet includes 7 to 8 liters of waste engine oil and tea.
Known locally as Oil Kumar, the man, a resident of Shivamogga district, had shocked the doctors by staying healthy by drinking motor oil every day. Though tea is an ordinary drink, motor oil is highly toxic. The petroleum-based product is extremely harmful to humans as it would aspirate into the lungs, leading to life-threatening conditions if taken inside.
