Too Much Potassium?

Posted by Loren on December 7, 2013 at 7:25am

I absolutely LOVE bananas, so healing my body by eating mostly bananas sounds like heaven to me. :D I was wondering though, I know it is possible to overdose on potassium.  Is it possible to eat too many bananas in a day because of this?  I've heard it is usually from potassium supplements that this can happen, so I have no idea if it is a silly idea that this could happen from too many bananas or not!  Any educating you could offer me on this would be a HUGE help! :D <3

    Potassium supplements are (or used to be recently) regulated to only 100mg at the most you could get - the chemical can eat through the lining of your stomach.  THAT's why Potassium poisoning is dangerous...you'll kill yourself with a "vitamin" so therefore, according to mainstream reasoning, you'll kill yourself with bananas.  Even like Jillian said:

     "but for some reason people really picked out the banana as being something you shouldn't have too much of each day"   

    There would be so many sick or dead 30badders if this information were true!

    You have to eat 300 bananas and digest them in 30 seconds. You won't get potassium poisoning, it's impossible
