Make sure you eat organic or non supermarket bananas as the use a gas to ripen them (they pick them too green so a lot of the above information isn't relevant). I think the gas is nitreous oxide (correct me if I am wrong), but the gas is toxic. The bananas will help your energy and brain power but the gas will kill you eventually.
