Is it unhealthy to eat miracle fruit?

Asked by jdegrazia (145 points) | asked 2 months ago | 7 responses | “Great Question” (0 points) | Flag as…

When my uncle introduced it to me on his orchard in Australia, he asked if I wanted to “try a new drug.” And, no question about it, the berries do alter consciousness. Of tastebuds. I wonder if there are any lingering side effects.

Temporarily alters tastebuds chemically… but not consciousness.

Well it is unhealthy in that you will probably eat more, but it hasn’t proven to have any negative effects, lasting or not.

I think it is probably too soon to know if there are serious long-term effects. They has not been widespread marketing of it or time for any scientific studies done by independent entities.

That said, so far, so good.

@scamp Not Crunch Berries. Though I bet Crunch Berries do have some pretty serious lingering side effects. Crunch Berries grow on trees? Bushes? Storks bring them?
