Even with their potassium level it is virtually impossible for a healthy person to overdose on bananas. You would need hundreds in a day—estimates range from 400 to 800—to reach a dangerous threshold, and fullness would stop you long before. People on beta blockers should be cautious since those drugs can raise potassium. Individuals with diabetes should watch portions because bananas are moderate on the glycemic index. For most healthy people two bananas daily are both safe and advantageous. High potassium intake has even been linked to a 20 percent lower risk of death from physical ailments. Unless you have specific medical limits enjoy your bananas and claim their broad benefits.
