I dont know any bad effects of papaya aside from its skin whitening effects and mild laxative action.

we have a couple of papaya plants in the backyard. its actually good for you. especially if your having a difficulty with bowel movement because it has enzymes that helps in the break down of meat. also has betacarotene which is an antioxidant. should you wish to have clearer skin you can mash some papayas with sugar and some olive oil and use it as a scrub.

really? . . . what makes it bad for health? all i know papaya is very good to eat for somebody who's suffering from constipation. then the only other thing i heard as a disadvantage from papaya is for the male to weaken their drive or libido . . . though i haven't read any scinetific explanations on this 'coz i only heard this from some people on why men hate papaya!

I thought that papaya is good for you. It is high in Vitamin c (82 mg per 100 gram), and is rich in carotene, it is beneficial in many digastive disorders, it is a lexative and used to cure constipation, it reduces the risk of colon and cervical cancer (there are studies about it), it is a cleanser. I can go on and on about papaya... I would like to hear your reasons on why it is not good for your health?
