Eating eggs and bananas for breakfast is a very common practice. It is known as healthy breakfast. However, many people believe that eating eggs and bananas together is very harmful to health.
Especially since the post about the health risks of eating egg and banana together on social media has gone viral, many people are in a dilemma whether to eat banana with egg for breakfast. In addition, in recent media reports, eating eggs and bananas together has been mentioned as harmful to health.
It is said that this food can cause various stomach problems including constipation. In 2020, several posts went viral on social media claiming that the egg-banana combination could even mask death.
However, The Healthy Indian Project says that eggs and bananas are very healthy foods. According to the information of WebMD, eggs contain the highest quality protein along with milk. One egg contains only 75 grams of calories, but contains 7 grams of high-quality protein, 5 grams of fat and 1.6 grams of saturated fat, and iron, vitamins, minerals and carotenoids. Bananas are also very low in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium. It is a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, potassium and manganese and an excellent source of vitamin B6.
Can eating eggs and bananas together be toxic?
The Healthy Indian Project found no scientific evidence to support this claim in their fact checking. Even many popular dishes, including pancakes, are usually made with a combination of bananas and eggs. Still, the company has spoken to several dietitians and nutritionists to be sure.
According to dietician and nutritionist Kajal Gupta, eggs and bananas are both superfoods and great sources of nutrients. Eating these foods together does not have any toxic effect on the body. However, allergy or indigestion can be taken care of. People with certain pre-existing conditions, such as kidney disease, often need to control their intake of a particular mineral. In that case, those patients can be advised not to eat bananas or eggs. But that does not mean that eating eggs and bananas together is harmful.
According to Varthika Singhal, dietician and founder of NutriFood, there is no harm in eating eggs and bananas together. People suffering from high diabetes can avoid bananas, but there is no question of it causing any toxic effects in the body.
