Did you know mixing fruits with some common foods can be unhealthy.


This may sound bizarre but mixing or eating certain foods with fresh fruits can turn toxic and can be harmful.

Here’s all you need to know about these fruit combinations.

How do fruits turn toxic?

With an increasing inclination towards health and fitness, antioxidant and vitamin rich fruits have become the core of most diets. But what if we tell you that mixing two fruits or pairing certain foods can turn dangerous as the combination can often release toxins, cause allergies, rashes and even turn fatal in some cases. Here are some simple fruits that should never be combined with these common foods.

​1. Papaya and lemon

Adding a lemon dressing to your papaya salad can turn toxic. It is believed that mixing lemon with papaya can reduce the hemoglobin levels and cause blood imbalance, which may be harmful.

2. Guava and banana

Are you someone who loves fruit and mixing guava and banana is common practice? But do you know this so-called healthy salad can actually create several health problems? The combination of these two fruits can lead to nausea, bloating, headache and acid reflux.

3. Pineapple and milk

This tropical fruit tastes amazing and there are several delicacies made by mixing pineapple and milk, but did you know this combination can cause nausea, stomach ache and bloating in some people. Yes, this is because pineapple has a compound called Bromelain, which reacts with milk and causes several issues in those sensitive to it.

​4. Watermelon with water

Have you been drinking watermelon smoothies and mixing it up with other fruits or simply drinking water after having a bowl of watermelon? Combining any food or even water with this seasonal fruit can cause digestive problems, reduce absorption of nutrients, slow down the process of digestion, cause bloating and acidity.
