DID YOU KNOW: That starfruits can be hazardous?

There is a news report today that Starfruit can be poisonous to kidney patients.

A report of a Nephrologist from University Malaya Medical Centre states that all it takes is one starfruit or 100ml of its juice and the ordinarily harmless star fruit becomes poison in a matter of hours for kidney patients.

Star fruits contain a neurotoxin which is not present in other fruits. It affects the brain and nerves. In healthy persons, the kidney does the filtering. But for kidney patients, it cannot be removed and worsens their condition.

Hence, for kidney patients.....

a starfruit might means death?
