I recently traveled to Hawaii and Guam and was blessed to find wild star fruit trees, picked so many that I was able to have several mono meals of them. They were delicious. However, just yesterday when i was looking up some info about star fruits, i saw a warning about a toxin called caramboxin, specifically a neurotoxin. The warning is mainly for those with reduced kidney function, but seemingly also applies to normal individuals, recommending against eating a large amount of star fruits. I was really surprised. Does anyone know anything about this, and whether eating any other part of the fruit (seed, skin) cancel out the effect of the toxin, as I literally have eaten dozens of them in the last few days and am feeling perfectly fine. And they also warn against its high oxalate amount, stating that even in people with normal kidney function, eating more than 4 star fruits can cause acute kidney failure. It seems like i took a big risk! It seems Dr @Doug Graham would have something to say about this.

Hi everyone, I wanted to get your thoughts on nighttime urination. Lately, I’ve been getting up once (sometimes twice) at night to pee, which didn’t really happen before. At the same time, I’m also much more hydrated now, especially because eating fruits and vegetables contains a lot of water. I’ve heard two different perspectives on this. One is that if we urinate around 8–12 times a day on average, then statistically it makes sense that nighttime would sometimes be included—especially if we’re going every 2–2.5 hours. The other perspective is about sleep cycles: apparently, we don’t wake up because we need to pee, but rather we become aware of the need to pee when we’re already in a lighter sleep phase. So in that sense, it may not be as disruptive as it sounds. I’m curious how you experience this. Is it normal or “okay” for you to get up once or twice per night? Or do you actively try to avoid it, for example by eating earlier or adjusting fluid intake in the evening? How do you personally handle this? Looking forward to hearing your experiences.

Is the blossom side of a melon sweeter than the peduncle side?

Would you eat honeydew melon and papaya at the same meal? (I guess the answer is "no", but I want to be sure). Thanks.

Hello everybody! I have a question about repairing the AC joint that I have injured which is not great as I am a handstand and calisthenics coach! my current chiropractor says if it's cartilage damage I'll be off training for 8 months and I'm really hoping it's not that, it's been two months since the first injury and then it happened again a month later which has made me quite nervous. I've started following 80/10/10 knowing about it already and understanding that food will help me to heal but I'm wondering if there's anything specific with fruits or fasting anyone would recommend? Also if anyone else has experienced this and healed through it I'd love to know! Thank you so much. Bryony :)
