Comment on Banana

Bananas are way overrated. Not nearly as much potassium as potatoes. As far as fruits go, they are lower fiber, high sugar (aka the not good kind of carbs).
And you know how they turn brown quickly after being exposed to air? That process virtually eliminates the absorption of any sources of antioxidants that it might be mixed with. Like adding bananas to your smoothies? If you were hoping for health benefits, you just wasted your money.

I am not a moron lol, I add the banana to my smoothie as a sweetener and to make it creamy, I add the spinach leaves, chia seeds, flax seeds and walnuts for health, along with a bunch of protein

I don’t think you understand. By adding the banana, you are canceling out the benefits of all of those other things.

How dare you accuse me of being a weirdo keto person, I am most definitely not one of them. 😑
The effect is caused by an enzyme in bananas that are part of it’s natural immune response. It breaks down polyphenols.
