Hi, guys... I've heard a lot about bananas, and I want to know whether it really is fattening or not (some girls restrict it when they go on diets) or whether it is good for the heart..
So what do you know about bananas? Are they fattening? or heart healthy? Please do share...=)

I have never heard of girls restricting bananas when they are on a diet! That seems silly to me!
I think bananas are a great fruit! They offer a lot of potassium - which is important for muscle function. Ever have really cramped muscles but dont know why? It might be because you dont have enough potassium!
Im not sure if they are good for the heart or not. But they are a great snack and much better than chips or fried foods! So eating a banana instead of those things would be great for your heart.
I say keep eating those bananas!

Thanks, derlilaStern.. I wondered the same thing when my friend told me to cut out bananas if ever I went on a diet.. because they don't look fatty to me!! =)
