No, 14 bananas should have no harmful effects. The idea for potential harm comes from a possibility to exceed the amount of potassium your body can handle. To get to an unhealthy and possibly lethal level of potassium you would have to consume over an estimated 250 bananas (or 883 pounds) at one time. By the time you reach 250 your body has already processed some of the earliest consumed potassium so the actual number will be higher. Due to the size of your stomach and how much food you can put through your body during a day, in practice it might be impossible to reach lethal levels.

∙ 14y agoIn theory virtually anything could kill you. A banana could conceivably get lodged in your windpipe and suffocate you. You could have an acute allergic reaction to a banana. Hypothetically somebody could stab you to death with a frozen banana.
Additional ways to die by a banana:
- Spike the banana with poison
- Allow the banana to develop natural bacteria
- Slip on the peel off a high ledge
- Get attacked by the monkey you just stole it from
- Potassium poisoning
Also, suicide banana packed with high explosives, germ-warfare banana infected with something really nasty and genetically altered banana spliced with piranha genes, which eats you before you eat it.

∙ 9y agoBananas contain high levels of potassium, which the body can get too much of and can affect the heart.
The RDA for potassium is 3500 mg. The amount that would cause problems would be much more than that. The average medium sized banana contains 460 mg of potassium.
It has been determine that you would have to eat 883 pounds all at one time. Even if you ate them slowly, the amount of potassium in the first would be lost long before you could eat them all.

∙ 11y agoIf you gorge yourself on food, you could face stomach injury or intestinal blockage. Other than that, you would have to eat a very large number of bananas, to the exclusion of other nutrition such as protein. One or two bananas a day should not be harmful.

∙ 7y agoSomeone worked out the math for this as too much potassium can kill you. The amount is 883 pounds. BUT... you can not eat all those at one time. Just think about it.

If you buy green bananas they will be ready to eat in about 3-5 days, so if your going on a 4 day trip you can eat your once green bananas when you get home; otherwise I have no clue except that they are harder than regular bananas.
