There should be a disclaimer in the produce section or something. Sheesh.
I worry more about the chemicals sprayed on the plants we eat.
I’m not a Dr, nor do I have a degree in nutrition or anything close to it, but for the love of the lord, isn’t that a little too much? if it’s that harmful, why is the whole world selling it??
Good gracious! Why don’t we ever hear about this???? THANK YOU!!!
Wow, who knew. After having the agony of kidney stones I won’t ever eat one ��
I have a tree in my backyard, it is so prolific I get to eat one fruit a day.
I think I’ll have to eat only half a fruit when I get older.
This is like the fugu of the fruit world �� I have two of these bad boys in my fridge and was about to eat one when I looked up if I should eat the skin and this popped up. I have kidney damage due to diabetes. Dodged a bullet there ��
UGHadd to the list of plants doc Greger said we can’t eat: spinach (oxalates), rice (arsenic) coconuts (saturated fat), kombucha (death)
Spinach, ounce for ounce, has almost twice as much oxalic acid. Star Fruit’s oxalic acid levels are comparable to a carrot. Calm down and look it up.
ummmmm…..this sounds like Star fruit is……TOXIC…….so……I think the better advice is….don’t eat it……plenty of other fruit to eat….eat a mango instead…
Well DA, IT’S IN THE SHAPE OF THE BAFFOMETTE STAR….THAT MAKES SENSE, TASTS GOOD, CUTE TO LOOK AT….. BUT SOO DECEIVING.
I’ve been seeing them at the store and had never heard that it could be so easy to accidentally over dose on them. Thanks man
Next time I’m offered star fruit, I’ll ask for a mamba snake instead much quicker results.
The thumbnail is too clickbaitey. Looked like the video would be common yt trash
Thank you for your videos. I am learning more all the time how to help my kidneys. Lousy Nephrologist said tests showed kidneys are malfunctioning and pulling calcium out of my bones. She prescribed Clorthalidone a blood pressure medication even though I don’t have high bp. I was up to 50% kidney function and now back to 40 plus I ended up dangerously low on Potassium. What she should have told me is get some vitamin K2 and it will help my kidneys direct the calcium back to the bones. Doctors know nothing about nutrition. So I am going to stop the medication and take Vit K2 along with D3 and A. In2 weeks I will have another test and see if I can get back on track to improving my kidneys. Thank you so much for sharing your journey to improving your kidneys.
Thanks for the warning I told my dad we should plant a carambola tree but not now that I know they are harmful!!!!
wow. the couple of times ive eaten star fruit ive thrown it up, only time a fruit has ever made that happen to me…
Do you believe in baking soda? I’m getting good results from 1 tsp twice a day….
i’ve heard the oxalates were contained at the points of the star and could be cut away but it doesn’t seem worth the risk. thanks doc.
first time I hear at this channel that a plant based whole food vegan diet could kill me:)
Looks like your video editing skills improved very impressive. Looking forward to the new book. Good job timing it in December right when people are making new year’s resolutions. I got an audio book version of the 1st book and started making changes.
Asians eat those like Westerners eat apples. Lucky for me though I never liked the taste so probably only ever had it once or twice as a kid
It would be interesting to find out how most star fruits eaten are grown and sold for those studies? Ideally, all fruits should be picked vine ripped and ready to eat on the spot. Most start fruits bought in stores are picked green since they must stay good until they reach their destination away from the tropics. Maybe the toxins referred to by the studies would be rendered inoffensive if grown and picked properly like we do here in the tropics and consume as we harvest. Just keeping an open mind as we do not know how to grow good food anymore and find blame where it does not always belong.
I’m a Brazilian, and unfortunately this danger hasn’t been made public knowledge to us.
Yeah, this fruit is quite common around here, mostly in within the country and rural areas.
Another GREaT video, doctor!!! Thanks so much for sharing the knowledge!!!
The study didnt even mention of ripe or unripe fruit.. thats like saying ackee will kill u so dont eat it yet its a staple fruit in jamaica.. more untrustworthy fear mongering coming from dr greger.. If the fruit is ready for you to spread it seed its not going to hurt you.. this is why we shouldnt be eating things that dont want to be eaten and shouldnt ignore our tastebuds.. you can taste the toxins..everything has its own protective toxins that will kill u over time.. like how if you eat flax seeds and seaweed and spinach you loose all your hair and then you get skin cancer if you go outside.
Watch at 0.5 speed to see what happens when you eat too much starfruit
i wonder if ripeness makes a diffrence, like it does with many oxalate containing fruits, usually the star fruit you can buy is very unripe, its almost impossible to find fully ripe star fruit outside of the tropics, i wonder what the have used in the studies.
What really gets me about this is that starfruit is in abundance on Maui and tons of people eat it their including me when I lived there and now I’m wondering what the risk is, if the native Hawaiians ate starfruit before colonization, and why the hell nobody knows about this
I ate one as a child and threw up and got flu like symptoms and never ate one again.
What he’s not telling you is that it’s only dangerous for people with kidney problems…
I’ve been a flat-earth believer since I started eating several starfruits every day. Do I have brain damage?
I was born with only one kidney. I’m glad I’ve never eaten a star fruit but this is the first time I’ve heard I shouldn’t. 0_o; Geez!
Well, Im glad I don’t care for starfuit much, I find it kinda boring, small and expensive, ratter spend on other exotic fruits with more flesh and wont kill my kidney:)
So scary! I bought a few star fruit last year, and ran across a warning about them while looking up how to prepare them. I guess star fruit aren’t that common in this country, but I have impaired kidneys and was never told by my doctor not to eat them! ��
wait, so a sweet delicious water-rich fruit can hurt you??? whoa. now i can’t trust my taste buds.
Seems Dr. Greger finally figured out what happened to Tim Speers…
That’s right dr vegan, make sure you tell all your vegan zombie followers what fruit to eat/not eat so they don’t die. You really can’t make this stuff up
I live in Jamaica and every one in my neighborhood has 1 tree in there yard. I have one tree as well and I have eaten up to six of these at a time with no problem. So IDK what the scare is.
Wow, I’m so glad for these videos, I used to mix them into fruit salad and eat them every day.
Wow, who knew? There should be a warning lable on star fruit that PREGNANT women should NOT eat, nor for diabetics or people with kidney disease. I think I have tried once, but I will never buy again.
Never ate one, but how the hell are these things allowed to be sold in the U.S. without a warning?
This is even more shocking than the warts cured by tape!
Luckily I always found star fruits underwhelming. You expect them to be so much and then they’re not. Ever!
Thanks Dr. Greger.:)
Interesting! And by interesting I really mean scary.
I’ve had these maybe 10 times in my lifetime and other than having a peculiar look/shape, they’re pretty bland / boring… Bye bye star fruit.
Any resources for the 2000 study?
I’d like to research it though I’m 100 percent positive already that it is really bad for people to eat.
You have reached the stars with this beautiful production! this looks top shelf as can be! And you’re looking excellent Dr G! Love, love, love it! You’re always elevating to the next level!:) and now you’re at the top!
I guess we’ll keep those attractive beauties as plate decor only. ����⭐
I LOVE the new video format! ���� Excellent! It is so professional ^-^
But how is it popular in Brazil even though they know the dangers? I’ve had star fruit before, it doesn’t even taste that good.
Just don’t understand, if it’s kind of toxic, why is it sold almost in every store?
There’s an abundance of Star fruit in Jamaica. But some people call it Jumbilin
Bio-Energetic Resonance Food Testing solves that problem too.
So basically as long as your kidneys are healthy and you only eat say one a day you should be fine… remember kidneys are a filter. So makes sense if you have bad kidneys your not gonna filter out the toxics.
Omg I’m Peruvian and have been eating mah local fruit recently ���� are u spying on me?
Edit: thank u by the way ✌️��
What other foods contain the active toxic components of star fruit?
Guys, calm down, unless you have kidney issues, there’s no reason to avoid having it once in a while..
Thanks Dr. Greger and to Pamela Doser Dr. Greger shows his source of information what is your source
The star fruit it my favorite fruit and I always wait for it to be on sale at the Asian market. NOOOOOO!!!!!! Guess it’s time to find a new favorite food. I’m so sad.
Super interesting. I have never eaten star fruit before. Maybe it’s something that I should be a little bit careful of.
Aw shucks. One of the only fruit from my native country that I can get in the west.
Gutted.
Star fruit, expensive, exclusive and now toxic to kidney function. Now I know I wasn’t missing anything ��
Thank you Sir, i am watching all your videos, it’s really helpful and hope for my life
The soft fade out of the last word in his videos is what I live for.
You leaving out the most important part that’s only it’s you have kidney issues if you have no kidney issues then it won’t cause an issue
eating enough raw almonds can kill you, eating cherry seeds can kill you, drinking too much water can kill you. as it states high enough doses
And just something else to contemplate, the shape of the “starfruit” is actually a pentagram which is a sign for satan the fallen star. An upside down pentagram is the sign for baphomet another wicked entity. Time to wake mankind. Our children are pushed into use of this shape all the time.
Please can you do more research on algae because I have stopped taking it for now. But I want to be sure it’s safe to take again. I buy my algae capsules from ‘Healthspan’
I wonder if any of the studies took into account the ripeness of the fruit. I have seen many people eat very bitter unripe starfruit. I only like startfruit when it is ripened right off the tree, otherwise it is too bitter and astringent.
I’m pretty sure that’s because the dumb asses eat them unripened and have never seen a starfruit tree in there life. Even if its yellow in a store it still isn’t ripened unless it did so on a tree.
I have a star fruit tree in my house yard and have some fruits there. my mom has diabetic and heart preasure. so it is not good for her to eat right?
PS i m healthy i like to eat but afraid if i will have issues later. pls advice
God bless u
This really bums me out. I love starfruit. I used to eat 2-3 a day when i was 18/19, but I havent had one in years.
THANK YOU!!!!! You have saved many of us with kidney disease. Also thank you for sharing charts with foods we can eat it helped relieve stress I was going through trying to figure out what to eat. God bless you in your continual struggle getting better with kidney disease. You give us all information & hope we too will make it. Thanks again from grandma Katie in Oregon
I tried star fruit… AGES ago, when it first showed up in the U.S…. funny thing, I didn’t think it tasted good at all. Dry, stringy, bland, and not worth the price tag. I still believe that, and now I have a better reason than aesthetics to not like it. LOL Thanks!
Crazy, for some reason my barely a teenager son likes these things I’m going to have to send him this video now!
Well his first mistake was going to a f’n chiropractor, who are all scam artists. If he went to an orthopedic surgeon, aka an actual physician, he may have been told not to take so much Advil. Chiropractic so called “medicine” should be illegal, it’s very dangerous.
I just bought one I am not eating it. It’s going in the trash. I really wanted to try it, but it’s not worth the risk.
I wanted to buy this fruiting tree and have it in my backyard. YIKES
I’ve only recently found & followed your channel and I must say that, thanks to you i mentally feel refreshed. Depression was about to take over and now I have some hope. Lots of changes will be made but all for the better! Thank you for all you do. I so appreciate you and all your diligent hard work ��
I started buying wired fruits recently so I guess I’ll skip that one.
“Great” advice from a Doctor the last place I would go to learn about nutrition……..a healthy kidney has no problem with eating a couple of star fruits……ask the Doctor if he can say the same for some of his drugs that he pushes…….
Starfruit may have some bad things,but they have many more benefits. Nothing is good when consumed in large amounts. Keep that in your mind.
Won’t eat them…! Only had them a few times in my life anyway… thanks….!
Whole plant based foods on Instagram = mikewakethefoodup
You will stop eating starfruit after this video, but you’ll never stop eating cancer causing yummy burgers, will you?
Damn, I didn’t know any of that, apart from that it was high in oxalates. I love star fruit, but I guess I am gonna just eat other fruits instead now.
Well, if you eat enough apples and apple seeds, then you will die from cyanide poisoning…
Yikes. Good thing humans are primarily starchivores, not frugivores.
I don’t know who this guy is but he is full of crap. Eat your starfruit and enjoy its
