I miss the old Gros Michels (Big Mikes) from the 1970's. Now we are stuck with Cavendish, a much less tasty variety

Unripe bananas constipate. People in the US seem to like their bananas green-tinged, so I'm not surprised bananas are thought of as constipating around here.
Ripe bananas do not constipate, and can actually help keep things moving.

Green ones are inedible. I would so rather eat fewer, better tasting bananas than more bitter, astringent flavored ones.

Bananas are binding. Ever heard of the BRAT diet for diarrhea?

I don't think there's a limit but they're pretty calorie dense. Around 100 calories in a small banana.

My brother loves them and used to eat 5+ per day. He was very active and went he injured his knee he stopped exercising and started gaining weight. He cut out the bananas and the weight dropped off. I wish it were so easy for me.

I eat 2 a day. I could probably eat more, but I try to stop myself at 2.

Is that a sign you're eating too many and it is taxing on your liver?

I don't think they're quite that dangerous.

Lol just wondering if too much potassium was bad for you.

People with kidney issues can't eat them. But you should probably be fine.

Actually bananas are good if you have constipation.
A couple a day should be fine.

I don't think so. Banana's are suggested for people that have diarrhea or Chron's, because it... well, helps to stop you from pooping.
