Zachary Taylor
It seems gluttony truly is a sin – one that meant death for Taylor just 16 months into his presidency. His legacy includes his heroism in the Mexican-American War, but neither his above-average IQ of 139.8 nor his heroic acts could save him from the evils of too many cherries. Cherries are a rich source of Vitamin C, but sometimes having too much of a good thing is dangerous. Take it from Zachary Taylor whose term in office was cut short after he stuffed himself on the little red fruits at a 4th of July celebration in 1850.
