Three bananas a day, every day, is probably too much even for an adult.

Bananas are a good source of potassium but too much can upset the sodium and potassium balance in the blood, leading to irregular heart beat and potential cardiac arrest. The kidneys normally eliminate excess sodium or potassium to keep things in balance.

Banana.com says a 9-inch banana contains about 900 mg of potassium, or about 100 mg per inch. The University of Maryland Medical Center (http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/potassium-000320.htm) lists the recommended daily intakes of dietary potassium are:

  • Infants birth to 6 months: 500
  • Infants 7 months to 12 months: 700 mg or 18 Meg
  • Children 1 year: 1,000 mg or 26 mEq
  • Children 2 - 5 years: 1,400 mg or 36 mEq
  • Children 6 - 9 years: 1,600 mg or 41 mEq
  • Children over 10 years: 2,000 mg or 51 mEq
  • Adult 2,000 mg or 51 Meq, including for pregnant and nursing women

Can you describe the analogy of Buying Green Bananas?
