In Reply to: So Doing BANANA ISLAND is a bad idea because of all the potassium?? posted by Janey on April 30, 2012 at 3:40 am:

And how could it possibly be a good idea to eat only one food for a prolonged time?-
Unless there is no alternatives, or if an animal is adapted to just that, i.e. koala bears.
Cannot remember humans being koalas.
And it is so boring (apparently for good reason).
Bananas are problematic not only due to nutrient inbalances, they also feature lots of antinutrients, i.e. they are high in saponins, latex (in anyone who eats bananas there will be present antibodies agains the banana lectin banlec (banlec induces a strong IgG4 antibody response)), etc etc etc.
But so are other foods (problematic).
Now, some people will claim that they "feel fine" with just bananas and what not. No problem, some people can eat iron ore. So what. Does not mean it is good.
