Pumpkin can disrupt the function of the heart. The fruits are rich in potassium, so eating too much of them can cause problems, said nutritionist Marit Mohina to the paragraph: "When kidney function is impaired, the body does not remove potassium efficiently, its levels rise, which threatens hyperkalemia and a serious risk of heart rhythm. Pumpkin also has a choleretic effect. If there are stones in the gallbladder, stimulation of the outflow of bile can trigger the movement of stones, inflammation of the pancreas or the increase of stones, inflammation of the pancreas." But pumpkin is dangerous not only for people with kidney problems. Sometimes fruits accumulate cucurbitacins, which cause severe poisoning.
