A member asked:
I have heard of whitening your teeth with the inside of the banana peel, is that bad for your teeth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very bad for teeth: There are acids and sugars in the banana peel that are detrimental to the outer surface (enamel) of your teeth. If you really want white teeth see a dentist for their professional recommendations.
