      How dare you accuse me of being a weirdo keto person, I am most definitely not one of them. 😑

      The effect is caused by an enzyme in bananas that are part of it’s natural immune response. It breaks down polyphenols.

        Worrying about shit like that is borderline orthorexia, I guess I also shouldn’t add spinach to my smoothie because oxalates

          Dude, “orthorexia” was a thing that was baselessly made up. It doesn’t exist.

          It’s not hard to just leave bananas out of recipes, at least for me, it doesn’t feel like a loss in the first place. Just more room for better things.

          Spinach is fine, the oxalates bind the spinach’s own nutrients. The only issue there is a higher risk of kidney stones, which is easily avoided by eating a balanced variety of mixed greens regularly instead of any single one.
