What happens when you eat papaya everyday?

Asked by Wiki User

I think i read in a book by Harold Tietze (an Australian) that over three days he ate 3 papaya including the black seeds. It gave him a tremendous stomach pain... however a wart fell off his hand. I usually eat all of the white seeds, if the seeds are black i eat a few table spoons because they are very spicy. I blend them with the papaya in a smoothie with greens and banana. I eat the skin too if it is unblemished and mature green papaya as well. I have a recipe for papaya ginger beer here: http://www.rejoiceinlife.com/recipes/papayaBeer.php Recently i have been having a papaya shoothy every day and my fibromyalgia symptoms have disappeared. I am not sure if that is associated with the papaya or not. I am wondering how many black seeds i could eat?

It`s a slang term meaning Vagina. I am visiting Colombia right now and the street produce venders are always shouting "We have fresh, papaya, papaya, papaya." Always makes me laugh(I´m cuban). Around cubans, you would ask for Fruta Bomba, if refering to Papaya, unless you want a bunch of cubans snickering and/or outright laughing at you.
