Kidney & Urinary
The lime research concerns kidney stones; pea-eggplant evidence comes from rats, while winter-melon use is traditional. Star fruit carries oxalate and caramboxin, which are dangerous for anyone with kidney disease. Water spinach, sator and djenkol bean carry oxalate or djenkolic acid, which can crystallize in the kidneys. Banana is high in potassium, which matters if your kidneys are not filtering well.
