Disadvantages of guava:

Any good thing if you consume or consume it in excess, its results are not good. Even if you eat more guavas, you will face some problems.

Flatulence: Guava is a high fructose rich fruit. Our bodies are not adapted to absorb large amounts of fructose. So if we eat guava in large quantities, this mineral element together with some bacteria produces gas in the stomach and makes us feel bloated.

Diarrhea and abdominal pain: Inability to digest high levels of fructose can sometimes cause diarrhea and abdominal pain. And there are many seeds inside the guava. This part is never properly digested in our stomach. So there is a high possibility of stomach ache and upset stomach if you eat more guava.

Increase in sugar: Consuming too much guava is likely to increase your blood sugar. And besides, there is no protein and fat in it, even if you eat guava on a full stomach, you will feel hungry again after a while. Because there is a lack of protein in the body. Therefore, consuming more food than necessary can cause harm to those who have blood sugar problems.

Bacteria: Guava like any other fruit is susceptible to bacterial infection. Guavas are more likely to become infected with bacteria, especially if the skin is cracked or damaged. So eating guava by discarding the skin can avoid bacterial infestation.
