Star Fruit Can Kill
This is not an April Fool Joke. But a stern reminder to all my readers.We were advised to have a few servings of fruits a day in order to rep the benefits of fruits right?
But obviously this is one big no-no fruit to be excluded from your fruity feast!
In Shenzen, more than 10 people who consumes the star fruit had died.
And now a 66-year-old, Malaysian who has been suffering from kidney ailment fell into coma
after eating the start fruits. Yes, all it takes is one fruit or 100ml of its juice and the ordinarily
harmless star fruit transforms poison in a matter of hours for kidney patients. So does this mean,
people without kidney problems should be fine with star fruit! My take: Not at all! Prevention is better right?Universiti Malaya Medical Centre consultant nephrologist said that star fruits
contain a neurotoxin which is not present in other fruits. It affects the brain
and nerves. In healthy persons, the kidneys filter it out. But for those with kidney
problems, this potent toxin cannot be removed and will worsen the consumers' conditions.
The symptoms of start fruit poisoning include:
~Hiccups
~Numbness and weakness
~Feeling confused
~Agitation
~Epileptic fist
The
risk of death is high if you are having kidney
ailments!
But healthy individuals
should beware of this fruit's potential toxin
too.
It could also cripple
your vitality if you are not lucky. So don't
take it for granted.
It's better to avoid
them. Please pass this news to
others
