If you are up against the wall on liquid intake and needing density, how detrimental is going with a few bananas a day? Based on an estrogen in fruit chart that Danwich posted in another thread, the estrogen content of dates and other dried fruit is through the roof. Bananas are low.
Peat says to avoid bananas because of serotonin. They don't register high in tryptophan (assuming you aren't going to eat 40 a day). So is it the starch that sets off the whole serotonin creating cycle that has him against da banana? Would a couple really ripe bananas a day be so bad that it would be better to add more sucrose to my liquid to get the calories I need? Would one of the safe starches be better than eating a few ripe bananas a day?
What are other fruit options, preferably something that goes good with milk that aren't going to add to the liquid load? Cooked apples, I guess.
