Re: Bananas

I'm going to revise this.

Licorice. I love licorice but if I eat too much I get weak. It causes a drop in potassium levels and I think that's the mechanism by which it's making me weak.

Re: Bananas

I think our feedback mechanism is messed up and we have lower tolerance than normal for both high and low potassium. I do find that if I use a little licorice root every day then I can handle fruits much better.
