Too many bananas?

[Davidc]

My friend, Type 2 Diabetic, after two heart attacks and a triple by-pass was told to eat no more than one a day and not to eat them every day. No idea why, but that's what he was told.

Like me but with one more heart attack.

I get through about 4 bananas a day on average, sometimes twice that many sometimes as few as one, the dietician I see about once a year hasn't even commented after seeing a food diary, and it's never caused me any problems at all.

If the medical people suggest any change I'll consider it, until then I'll keep going.

I have one a day

I've got a heart condition and had a heart attack 6 years ago and I've never been told to limit the amount if bananas I should eat although I only eat 1 every now and then.

It has been widely reported that the vegetarian australian bowler Peter Siddle eats up to 18 bananas a day during a match. Make of that what you will.

George, has anyone ever told you you look like action man?

I went to uni with a bloke who gorged himself on bananas one day, because he'd read it gives you priapism. I didn't check back with him to see if it worked.

 

[John Shingler]

that must have been hard for him

I would punch you in the face but my soft grippy rubber hands have little effect.

I've had that, low flow, and I can assure you it is most unpleasant.

There is also a (fortunately rare) female equivalent where the muscles spasm and lock gripping tightly!

Caught at the wrong time and retreat is no longer an option!

I remember one couple in Casualty where she had to be sedated before he could withdraw!

When my kidneys failed I couldn't eat them because of the potassium, how I missed being stuffed full of banana on a daily basis.

It's possible that may not have come out in the way you intended...

Or maybe it did

Sounds unpleasant, are there any long term effects?

Ooh err missus!
