Have your say: Gordon Brown

Brown is convinced fruit can bring "radiance," a spokesman said, while declining to confirm a report in the Sun that the premier is scoffing the fruit as an alternative to his favourite KitKat bars.

Brown is gearing up for an uphill battle to hold on to power against the main opposition Conservatives, in elections due before June but expected on May 6.

"The prime minister has always taken the view that a balanced diet is very important," Brown's spokesman told reporters on Monday, neither denying nor confirming the banana story.

He added: "Portions of fruit and veg taken on a daily basis can only lead to good health and radiance."

Questioned about the amount of fruit Brown was eating, he said that any numbers were pure "speculation".

Bananas have been risky political accessories since Foreign Secretary David Miliband was snapped brandishing one two years ago, in a photo that was widely mocked and undermined his hopes of leading the ruling Labour party.

Too many bananas mean two thing can happen physiologically: Firstly, bananas contain high quantities of potassium. Sodium and potassium are essential for the transference of fluid in/and out of cells that make up our tissues, organ and muscle. If you are doing a high output activity on a daily basis and sweating a lot your body can actually metabolize 3-4 bananas per day. However, if you're just eating them for snacks, you really shouldn't have more than 2 per day only because, the potassium forces fluids in your bowel to enter the tissues and blood stream and consequently dehydrate the bowel...consequently making you constipated.

It also depends on what type of bananas your eating. All organic, natural bananas tend to be smaller than genetically engineered bananas and will have more natural properties to cause stomach aches and bowel distention or cramps. Genetically engineered bananas that farmers use pesticides on tend to grow larger because they have less resistance and don't have to worry about natural predators such as insects. You could eat 2-3 organic bananas and be constipated for a day. Where as eating 2-3 genetically engineered bananas have less of an effect.
