    Did they give you any reason why or just tell you it's was "bad"?

    I was told that it will damage stomach. LOL and I did some research and it sounds like those who agree with it quoted from the same source saying something to do with magnesium...

    Well magnesium is a natural laxative and if you get too much...well you can figure the result. I guess some sensitive people could have stomach issues from eating a banana. So, in that respect, a banana on an empty stomach could be "bad." A banana only has about 7% of the daily requirement of magnesium, so I think you'd have to be pretty darn sensitive to it to be affected by one banana.

    Truly amazing the stuff that gets spread around as 'good' advice.

    I honestly don't know how I can respond to this question without getting a strike.

    /closes thread

    I strongly encourage all women to...(no, wait, that's not right).

    My wife asked me the same thing and I told her...(eh, no, still not).

    If it takes you more than two bites...(getting worse, not better).


    Yes, broscience. Eat bananas when, where, and how you want.
