A tragic incident has shaken the streaming community as a popular influencer in China.
Pan Xiaoting, passed away during a live mukbang broadcast due to overeating.
The streamer challenges eating large quantities on livestream
The 24-year-old streamer has gained a significant following by entertaining her viewers with mukbang videos.
She often films herself eating large quantities of food on camera.
Pan Xiaoting’s usual livestreams captivated her audience with her consumption of excessive amounts of food.
Remarkably, Xiaoting often opts for unhealthy options.
The streamer died on the live stream from overeating
However, her eating challenges took a dangerous turn as she pushed herself to extreme limits.
Reports from local media suggest that she consumed food for more than 10 hours every day without a break.
Surprisingly, she even attempted to eat over 10 kilograms of food per meal.
Tragically, Pan Xiaoting’s previous struggle with overeating had led to hospitalization due to gastric bleeding.
However, she was later discharged.
Regrettably, her final livestream proved fatal as her overeating ultimately caused her demise.
An autopsy conducted after her passing revealed that her stomach was filled with undigested food, and her abdomen was severely deformed.
China President bans residents from making mukbang videos
This unfortunate incident comes in the wake of China’s ban on mukbang videos in 2020, which aimed to address the issues of overeating and food waste.
Chinese authorities, led by President Xi Jinping, implemented penalties for food service operators who encouraged excessive consumption and contributed to food waste.
Violators of this rule face fines of up to 10,000 yuan ($1,376).
Nutritionist Maya Feller has raised concerns about the pressure on mukbang creators.
They are expected to replicate their excessive eating behavior daily to satisfy millions of viewers.
The repetitive nature of this practice creates a dangerous cycle that can harm creators’ health.
Overeating can cause stomach pain, heartburn, and acid reflux.
Experts’ advice
To prevent overeating, experts from the Cleveland Clinic recommend several measures.

Additionally, adopting habits such as eating slowly and incorporating more vegetables into meals can help control excessive eating.
