Another surprise. Isn’t this the fruit everybody keeps praising for its great effects on our heart, eyes, and skin? Well, it is, but there’s baggage, too. You get lots of potassium from this fruit. A little too much, apparently. For those who are already battling kidney disease, this fruits is totally off the limits. Potassium, in addition to sodium, in the right proportions is central to the proper working of kidneys. A little excess of the either and your kidneys land in troubled waters. Hyperkalemia – this is the name of the disease which you get if you have an excess of potassium in your blood. Slow heart rate, numbness, weakness, and nausea are common symptoms.

The best advice for those who are not diagnosed with a renal condition is to take this creamy delicious fruit in moderation.
