People suffering from some specific conditions must avoid adding papaya to their diet

The sweet fruit contains latex that may trigger uterine contractions, leading to early labour

Eating papayas can reduce the risk of heart-related ailments, but if you are already suffering from the problem of irregular heartbeat, it is better to avoid papaya for good

A study suggests that papaya contains a small amount of cyanogenic glycosides, an amino acid that can produce hydrogen cyanide in the human digestive system

Though the amount of compound produced is not harmful to health, excess of it can worsen the symptoms for those suffering from the problem of irregular heartbeat

It may also have the same effect on people suffering from hypothyroidism

That happens because papaya contains enzymes called chitinases

Some people may even find the odour of ripe papaya unpleasant

The nutrient is a rich antioxidant, but an excess intake of this nutrient by those already suffering from the problem of kidney stones can worsen the condition

Papaya is the preferred fruit for those suffering from diabetes as it helps to manage the blood sugar level

But it might not be a great option for those already suffering from the problem of low blood sugar or hypoglycemia

That's because the sweet-tasting fruit contains anti-hypoglycemic or glucose-lowering effects

It may take the blood glucose level to a dangerous level in people suffering from hypoglycemia, leading to problems like confusion, shakiness and a fast heartbeat
