Banana

Page 1 of 3Next
I read a study recently where all the monkeys ate only bananas and most had diabetes. Are we sure bananas don't have vitamin A?

There are all sorts of other toxins in this world besides VA, and some might be like VA where they can lead to things like high blood sugar.  

Haven't I heard that bananas have radiation?   I'm not sure why.  

Over-ripe bananas would probably start having tyramine.   Green bananas, maybe oxalates (like other unripe fruit?).   Then there are the toxic sprays used on them and the soil.   Just some thoughts.

Once you have acquired some blood sugar troubles, I do wonder if you need to cut way down on sugars.   Could it be the monkeys arrived to the study already on their way to diabetes?    I've read about animals who live near enough to humans to have grown up on human-food refuse and they can't go back to their native diets.

Were they given antibiotics?  How was their gut flora?  Another way that they could have arrived primed for diabetes.

Were they vaccinated to the max, and de-loused and etc.?

Were they raised in a plastic environment?   

Was their water filled with micro-amounts of birth control pills and steroids other pharmaceuticals?

That isn’t a study. That’s a CNN article about monkeys at a random zoo being banned from eating bananas.

The article does not provide any relevant information such as the diet and feed of the monkeys outside of banana consumption.

The zoo says the high calorie and sugar content of bananas grown for human consumption, which are sweeter than wild ones, is bad for the monkeys' health and can rot their teeth.  "Bananas grown for human consumption are full of sugar and calories, and have no relation to organically grown fruit," said zoo spokesman Philip Knowling.  Humans can still gobble up their bananas, they just need to be kept away from the monkeys.  "Sweet, juicy bananas are good for humans, but not for monkeys,'' Knowling said. "Animal nutrition has become a problem. Bananas and monkeys are like a cliché, but in reality, they are not a good combination."

Haha, this is fucking retarded, and it gets even more so:

"Life in the wild involves hard work and in a zoo, sometimes you can take too good care of the animals and that's not good for their health."

Taking "too good" care of the animals is not good for their health?  Isn't the quality of care defined by health outcomes?  Congratulations CNN, you've delivered another masterpiece of misinformation.

El zoológico dice que el alto contenido de calorías y azúcar de los plátanos cultivados para consumo humano, que son más dulces que los silvestres, es malo para la salud de los monos y puede pudrirles los dientes. "Los plátanos cultivados para el consumo humano están llenos de azúcar y calorías y no tienen ninguna relación con las frutas cultivadas orgánicamente", afirmó el portavoz del zoológico, Philip Knowling. Los humanos todavía pueden devorar sus plátanos, sólo hay que mantenerlos alejados de los monos. "Los plátanos dulces y jugosos son buenos para los humanos, pero no para los monos", dijo Knowling. "La nutrición animal se ha convertido en un problema. Los plátanos y los monos son como un cliché, pero en realidad no son una buena combinación".

Jaja, esto es jodidamente retrasado, y lo es aún más:

"La vida en la naturaleza implica trabajo duro y en un zoológico a veces puedes cuidar demasiado a los animales y eso no es bueno para su salud".

¿Cuidar "demasiado bien" a los animales no es bueno para su salud? ¿ No está la calidad de la atención definida por los resultados de salud? Felicitaciones CNN, ha entregado otra obra maestra de desinformación.

Here the question is why does a day of only bananas cause diabetes? if it is very low in Vitamin A. The sugar and rice diet cured diabetes. but the diet of only bananas causes diabetes. what is the difference? fruit sugar is not. Maybe bananas have a lot of vitamin A. In nutrition pages they say that each banana has 300 IU of vitamin A. Are we sure that bananas do not have vitamin A?

It's highly dependent on the varietal. Cavendish here in the States is predominantly very low Vitamin A (25 mcg of Carotene per 100g). In addition, consuming bananas without a source of fat and a decent amount of soluble fiber probably neutralizes the absorption.

Now, Plantain's, that's a completely different situation. Not only do they have signifacantly more carotene, but they are commonly cooked and combined with fat.
