Summary

The banana is far from the most liked food out there in the world of health. Bananas are hated greatly because of their natural fruit sugars, something that is feared by almost all health practitioners. Sugar is the enemy of the health and wellness world. But is it that bad? In this podcast episode I answer that question and go deeper, diving into the why behind the banana’s grim public image, and how the same people who tell you to stay away from bananas are also the ones promoting chocolate in the health world. I discuss the things that food science doesn’t know or doesn’t want you to know. Learn about bananas: what roles they play in your body, their soothing effects, what they have to do with anti-viral compounds, and so much more. I don’t hold back in telling you the harsh truths about why science and research chooses not to invest in learning about the medicinal properties of some foods. We talk about what might be feeding the pathogens causing your viral inflammation, how the starch in bananas interacts with other substances in your body and what it means to get a high potassium reading on a blood test. Understand how bananas can help you with your chronic illness. Get excited for this week’s episode. Learn what nobody ever taught you about the banana. For more information visit medicalmedium.com.
