3. People Taking Blood Thinners
Jackfruit may interfere with certain medications, especially anticoagulants like warfarin.
Because the fruit can influence blood clotting activity, it may reduce the effectiveness of these medications or cause unexpected reactions.
If you’re on blood thinners, consult your doctor before eating jackfruit.
4. Those With Chronic Kidney Disease
Jackfruit is rich in potassium, which is normally healthy — but not for people with kidney issues.
Diseased kidneys struggle to filter potassium, which can lead to dangerous heart rhythm problems.
If you have kidney disease, avoid jackfruit or only consume it with medical approval.
5. People Preparing for Surgery
Some studies suggest jackfruit may affect:
-
Blood sugar levels
-
Sedation drugs
-
Blood pressure
Because of this, doctors sometimes recommend avoiding jackfruit for at least two weeks before surgery to prevent unwanted interactions with anesthesia or medications.
