Bananas

[posterofagirl]

I can't remember where I heard or read this, but I had heard that eating bananas was bad for your skin, like it made it look older or whatever. I thought this was pretty weird and just wondered if it was true or not.

hm, that's something to think about. i've never heard this and i wonder if there's any truth to it because i do eat a banana or two every week. sorry i can't be of much help but, i'm sure someone else knows the answer.

I like bananas and i've never heard of such a thing before. I don't know why they would make you look old. :icon_conf

I think I read it in a magazine a while ago, I thought it was pretty suspect.

 

[prettybabi11492]

personally, i wouldn't believe it. a lot of people who eat bananas have perfect skin..

Ithink the one way banaas can afect your skin is if you ate them by the truckload and got potassium overdose which MAY give you a rash. I guess.

even if it does, it helps that i really cant stand bananas or the smell..

my mom would have to bribe me to eat them with like the last kiwi.

I love bananas and everytime I eat one I get paranoid because I remember reading about them being bad, but I'm slightly relieved that it was likely just BS.

I hope that's untrue coz i like my banana every morning for brekkie in my wholemeal pitta bread!

i cant see why it would be true, maybe if thats all u eat then maybe lol but its a fruit, fruits good for you. But if it is true then its a good job i dont eat bananas. My brother told me when i was like 5 that spiders lay eggs in them and thats why theres bits in the middle, it wasnt until i was abit older i realised they were seeds but im still put of them.

I don't know if I'd believe that. Bananas are used in some home-made face mask recepies.

I think if one would believe everything that is written, he would most likely starve to death locked up somewhere.

lol Maychi! Yeah, I agree, they're used in face masks..I've actually used them before (mixed with other ingredients) and I eat them almost everyday with breakfast. I don't see why they would be bad for your skin, but then again I still break out!

LOL, I love and eat bananas all the time.

I bought my fave red bananas last night. Come to think of it, I'm going to get one and eat it. I'm a little bit hungry right now lol.

While I was surfing for products containing ALA to add to my growing list of products, I happened to come across this and remembered your question on bananas http://www.changingshape.com/resources/articles/perricone-diet.asp

Here's an article from the Washington Post .... read it and then go eat your Cheerios with banana slices (you'll understand that comment when you read the article)

But Perricone keeps on making money hand over bananas .... and that's all I have to say about that.
