Good or bad? Someone told me they were as bad AS EATING CHOC CAKE! Please tell me this isn't true!

    Haha, cake =/= banana.

    Bananas are high in sugar. But it is the healthiest sugar out there, natural fruit sugar. Now, I'm not saying to go on a banana only diet. But eating a banana a day (even 3 a day) will not harm you.

    I'm sure if you were to sit down and eat a whole bunch of them it would be bad but one...nah!

    On a vaguely unrelated note...I understand that 7 out of 10 men are uncomfortable eating a banana in public. Huh.

    Hot dogs, too. I wonder why that is...

    that's silly. they do contain a lot of (natural) sugars & are relatively high in calories, but they're high in iron, potassium, fiber, & tryptophan (which is a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin & is known to make you relax) as well.
    i've also read that rubbing the inside of a banana peel on a bug bite helps reduce itchiness & swelling.

    I love banana's but I've had to cut back on them. They are more sugar (though natural) and more calories. But a few a week can't be as bad for you as chocolate cake! That's just crazy!

    I love bananas! I could eat 10 (or more!) in a sitting! But at ~100cals each for large bananas, I only allow myself to have one or two at most in a day if any. I mean, I seriously used to sit with a large hand of bananas and eat them all! Now that could be the equivalent to chocolate cake in terms of calories ;)
