Fruits are healthy, yes—but not for everyone. Some can be harmful too. Take star fruit—a tropical delight named for its star-like shape. Sweet when ripe, tangy when raw, and nutrient-packed—but not risk-free.
Star fruit is loaded with Vitamin C, B vitamins, fibre, potassium, calcium, and more. It even helps control blood sugar.
It aids weight loss, curbs cholesterol, and keeps your heart happy—but there’s a catch.
For kidney patients, star fruit can be dangerous. Its oxalic acid content causes oxalates to build up, straining weak kidneys
Risk factors include kidney stones, nausea, vomiting—even seizures in severe cases, doctors warn.
So, kidney patients must avoid it or at least consult a doctor before eating. Healthy individuals? Eat in moderation for the vitamin boost.
The golden rule: Moderation is key. Too much of anything—even a superfood—can harm you. (Note: This content is for information purposes only. Please consult medical experts before making dietary changes)
