Wasn't sure if there's any truth in this, so my friend did a quick search. A medical blog for Malaysian medical professionals says quite the same thing!

This is not an April Fool joke, but a stern reminder to all my readers.
We were advised to have a few servings of fruits a day in order to reap the benefits of fruit, right?
But obviously this is one big no-no fruit to be excluded from your fruity feast!In Shenzen, more than 10 people who consumed the star fruit have died.
And now a 66-year-old Malaysian who had been suffering from a kidney ailment has fallen into a coma after eating the star fruit.
Yes, all it takes is one fruit or 100ml of its juice and the ordinarily harmless star fruit transforms into poison in a matter of hours for kidney patients.
So does this mean people without kidney problems should be fine with star fruit! My take: Not at all! Prevention is better, right?
Universiti Malaya Medical Centre consultant nephrologist said that star fruits contain a neurotoxin which is not present in other fruits. It affects the brain and nerves. In healthy persons, the kidneys filter it out.
But for those with kidney problems, this potent toxin cannot be removed and will worsen the consumers' conditions.
The symptoms of star fruit poisoning include:
~Hiccups
~Numbness and weakness
~Feeling confused
~Agitation
~Epileptic fist
The risk of death is high if you are having kidney ailments! But healthy individuals should beware of this fruit's potential toxin too.
It could also cripple your vitality if you are not lucky.
So don't take it for granted. It's better to avoid them.

Thật là đáng tiếc!!!! Nếu thật là như vậy thì món 'bánh khoái Nguyệt viên' cũa người miền Trung sẽ hết thú vị rồi vì thiếu KHẾ.
