Firstly, if you are unsure or concerned about your potassium levels, it is strongly suggested that you get a "Blood Analysis" check. This is highly beneficial for a whole range of potential mineral deficiencies.
So how many bananas can I eat a day?
Like many things online, you will read a lot of dis-information, even from doctors.
Many vegetarians and vegans often eat 2 - 4 bananas a day will NO side effects.
Lots people eat up to 10 bananas a day without any problems.
The writer of this article consistantly eats 4 - 6 bananas a day and I am fantastic. My family goes through 3 large bunches of bananas every 2 days on average.
Programs you see on TV - even by doctors - have their research done by people who are often teenagers or interns and who go online and read something (like from the dis-info site wikipedia) and then quote what they read as true.
I remember watch Dr OZ and several other supposed doctors on TV shows claiming that 2 or more bananas a day was dangerous "Because Of Potassium".
So here is the "catch". The RDI (RDA) for potassium is 2,700 mgs a day so I fail to see how eating 2 bananas a day is considered bad by mis-informed doctors. PLUS potassium helps stop muscle cramps and also helps your heart function more easily.
To show you how Mis-Informed these doctors are, bananas are the "MOST EATEN" fruit in the USA and yet over 98% of Americans are potassium deficient. This proves just how "Out of touch" these doctors are.
