Overdosing would be extremely difficult


Most Americans don’t get enough potassium. To reach toxic levels from bananas alone, a healthy person would need to eat around 400 bananas in one day—an almost impossible feat. The stomach would likely reject such an amount long before potassium poisoning occurred.

For most people, eating two bananas daily is safe and beneficial. Those on beta-blockers or with diabetes should monitor intake, as bananas may affect potassium and blood sugar levels. For everyone else, enjoy! Studies show that high potassium intake can reduce all-cause mortality by up to 20%.
