    Yes. You should eliminate that banana. Usually 4-8 hours after you eat it I believe.

    Step 1 - Find a food you can make people afraid of !
    Step 2 - Advertise how evil said food is, and offer a secret alternative in the form of a powder/cleanse/shake
    Step 3 - Gangnam Style
    Step 4 - Deposit your riches.

    It's just a stupid advertisement trying to sell you some bull crap.

    ^^ This

    Bananas are great! And of course, you *should* wait until they are ripe to eat them.

    Bananas are a good source of potassium. I eat them all of the time. Or... most of the time, at least.

    Some days I eat 3 bananas and am still losing weight at a steady pace. 1.5 pounds per week on average. So NO bananas are not evil or bad for people on a diet.

    bananas are neither harmful NOR or they the magical food that many people seem to believe. They are higher calorie, higher carb, higher sugar than most things.

    If you want to devote that many calories to your daily total, that's up to you. But dont eat them because you think they are super healthy or something like that. They are ok, and thats it.

    Wow, the moldy banana ad actually did something good...!

    Somehow this is a metaphor for life. It just has to be.

    Even the moldiest bananas/crappiest of ads with the worst intentions ... can bring good things into your life if you let them!

    :sick: .... Sorry, that's too sappy. I'm just in a super good mood today.

    "I aint falling for no banana in my tailpipe!" - Axel Foley

    you're not gonna fall for the banana in the tailpipe? It should be more natural, brother. It should flow out, like this - "Look, man, I ain't fallin' for no banana in my tailpipe!" See, that's more natural for us. You been hanging out with this dude too long

    Did you know that the ripper the banana is, the higher the immune activity is? The degree of anti-cancer effect corresponds to the degree of ripeness of the banana. This means a fully ripped banana has the highest anti-cancer property. Research shows that banana produces a substance called TNF (Tumor necrosis factors) which has the ability to combat abnormal cells. TNF refers to a group of cytokines family that can cause cell death (apoptosis). The first two members of the family to be identified were Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and Tumor necrosis factor-beta (TNF-β).

    Bananas are only a problem is you're A. doing low carb and it knocks you out of ketosis B. diabetic and they spike your blood sugars. I tend to avoid them because I'm diabetic and they spike my blood sugars. :sad:

    Everyone wants an easy answer to fat loss, and advertisments prey on misinformation to make money off of that. No food in of itself is going to ruin your diet, and bananas are a great food, especially in the morning. I eat one almost everyday with breakfast either in a smoothie or with peanutbutter.

    The only thing with a ripe banana is that when it starts to ripen the starches are breaking down and it tends to be more sugared so they may spike your blood sugar slightly more than a banana that's less ripe. That's true for most fruits. Someone with blood sugar issues may want to watch for over ripened fruit because of the sugar spike but other than that it's a personal preference.

    I tend to like lesser ripened fruit for eating but as someone else posted the over ripe fruit is perfect for baking!!! :drinker:
