Star Fruit Can kill

This is not an April Fool Joke.

But a stern reminder to all my readers.
We were advised to have a few servings of fruits a day in order
to reap the benefits of fruits right? But obviously this is one
big no-no fruit to be excluded from your fruity feast!

In Shenzen, more than 10 people who consumed the star fruit had died.
And now a 66-year-old Malaysian who has been suffering from
kidney ailment fell into coma after eating start fruits.
Yes, all it takes is one fruit or 100ml of its juice and the ordinarily harmless
star fruit transforms to poison in a matter of hours for kidney patients.

So does this mean, people without kidney problems should be fine with star
fruit! My take: Not at all! Prevention is better, right?Universiti Malaya
Medical Centre consultant nephrologist said that star fruits contain a
neurotoxin which is not present in other fruits.

It affects the brain and nerves. In healthy persons, the kidneys filter it out.
But for those with kidney problems, this potent toxin cannot
be removed and will worsen the consumers' conditions.The symptoms
of start fruit poisoning include: ~ Hiccups~ Numbness and weakness~
Feeling confused~ Agitation~ Epileptic fits

The risk of death is high if you are having kidney ailments! But healthy
individuals should beware of this fruit's potential toxin too.
It could also cripple your vitality if you are not lucky. So don't take it
for granted. It's better to avoid them.
