ALBAWABA - A Yemeni YouTuber has sparked controversy on social media after posting videos of himself consuming petroleum and automobile oils.

YouTuber Faisal Al-Sadai, who claims that he is a "universal scientist", has caused a wave of anger after claiming to invent methods to cure diabetes.

In the footage shared online, the Yemeni YouTuber was spotted consuming petroleum and automobile oils, which sparked public anger among people who said that if anyone listened to him they could be poisoned.

Faisal Al-Sadai claimed that he found a cure for diabetes and said it can happen by getting rid of some blood periodically, and then eating goat or cow droppings.

The Yemeni YouTuber started his channel three years ago by sharing videos about education of various types, before expanding into discussing more complicated issues, presenting himself as a social researcher.

Recently, he changed his channel's name to "a free, empowered, and distinguished universal scientist." After that, the YouTuber started posting controversial videos of himself eating and consuming toxic substances that are harmful to public health, claiming that they have nutritional value and health benefits.

Many Yemenis have called authorities to close and investigate the YouTuber as they are afraid he might affect children's minds and they end up consuming the same material, which will certainly cause poison.
