While the anonymous original poster of the query may be a robot, I have no way to know, there could be another reason for “electric shock when eating food”. If you are not careful, bits of aluminum foil packaging may be eaten along with the food. When aluminum foil contacts amalgam (Mercury and Silver) fillings in the teeth a battery is formed which gives a rather unpleasant shock, though i think it is not dangerous. The shock is of a similar magnitude as tasting a 1.5vdc cell on the tongue to test it.
