Health risk associated in star fruit!

Fruits always come along with 'healthy' and 'nutritious' in many people's mind. However, kidney failure patient may fell into a state of unconscious if star fruit is being ingested. This is what happened to a dialysis patient who is hospitalised in Intensive Care Unit after consuming star fruit. The news was found in The Star newspaper.

Ingestion of star fruit led to neurological disturbances, including hiccups, mental confusion, and even death! This is due to presence of oxalic acid and the neurotoxic effects of star fruit intoxication in mostly dialysed patients with chronic renal failure.
