Are Bananas Really That High On The Health Benefits List?

Should you be eating bananas daily?

I’m on a mission to eliminate sugar for good.

I can’t stand the stuff since it causes so much inflammation and is one of the predecessors of disease.

Sugar also diminishes the quality of your skin and increases fat storage in your body.

What does this have to do with bananas?

Many conflicting pieces all over the internet claim that bananas are healthy and aid in weight loss. In contrast, others proclaim bananas are nothing more than a sugary treat, causing as much damage as sugar.

Part of the reason that bananas get a bad wrap rests on their high sugar and starch content.

But people need to realise that they are also filled with nutrients and vitamins B6, fibre, potassium and a great source of prebiotics.

Bananas might cause a few issues since they contain sugar alcohol called sorbitol. Sorbitol can cause gas in many people and perhaps a bout of diarrhoea.

Sorbitol can be tolerated in very tiny amounts, but the carb content might cause a bit of uncomfortable action in the gastrointestinal region.
