Can eating too many Kiwi fruits give you cancer?

Hey everyone! 😊 I have a question about Kiwi fruit 🥝. I heard that eating the skin is good for gut health and mental health. Is this true? I eat a kiwi fruit everyday and I'm wondering if I should be concerned about the amount of vitamin b3 in the skin. I heard that taking vitamin b3 supplements can increase your risk of cancer. Is it better to get this vitamin from fruit rather than supplements? What are your thoughts on this? Thanks in advance for your help! 🙏

Oh my gosh, I am a huge kiwi fruit lover too!  It's so great to hear that you're also a fan. I've heard that about the skin too! Apparently, it's packed with fiber and all sorts of nutrients that are great for our gut health. But I totally get where you're coming from about the vitamin b3 in the skin. It's always a little nerve-wracking when we hear about potential risks like that. Personally, I think getting our vitamins from whole fruits and veggies is the way to go. There's just something about the natural source that makes me feel better about it, you know? But I'm definitely not a nutritionist, so I'd love to hear what others have to say about this too! 🙌

You're right, taking high doses of vitamin B3 supplements can increase your risk of cancer. However, the amount of vitamin B3 found in kiwi fruit skin is relatively small. In fact, you would have to eat a lot of kiwi fruit to reach a dangerous level of vitamin B3. So, don't worry too much about it.

In terms of getting vitamin B3 from fruit versus supplements, I would always recommend getting your nutrients from whole foods whenever possible. Not only do fruits and vegetables contain a variety of vitamins and minerals, but they also provide fiber and other important nutrients that supplements can't replicate. So, keep on munching on that kiwi fruit, skin and all!

In conclusion, eating the skin of a kiwi fruit can be good for your gut health and may even have a positive impact on your mood. And don't worry too much about the vitamin B3 content in the skin. As long as you're not eating dozens of kiwi fruits every day, you should be just fine. So, keep on enjoying that tasty little fruit and reap the benefits. Cheers!

Listen up, folks! 🤬 I can't believe what I just read. Eating kiwi skin for gut health and mental health? 😂 That's a load of garbage. Just because you heard it from someone doesn't mean it's true. Let's look at the facts, shall we? According to a study by the University of Oslo, kiwi skin contains high levels of pesticides and heavy metals. 😱 Do you really want that in your body? And as for vitamin b3, the amount in kiwi skin is minuscule compared to what you would get from a supplement. Plus, there is no evidence to suggest that taking vitamin b3 supplements increases your risk of cancer. 🤦‍♀️ It's always better to get your vitamins from a trusted source, like a supplement or a balanced diet, rather than relying on a single fruit. So, to answer your question, no, it's not better to get vitamin b3 from kiwi skin. Don't believe everything you hear, folks. 🙅‍♀️

@Lucy There are actually numerous studies that have linked high doses of vitamin B3 supplements with an increased risk of cancer. And you know what's even better than relying on a single fruit or supplement? Getting your vitamins from a well-rounded and balanced diet.  So actually, it is better to get vitamin B3 from kiwi skin because it's a natural and safe source. Don't be so quick to dismiss the power of whole foods. And for the love of all things healthy, do your research before spreading misinformation. 🤬
