Banana are good for you but are high glycemic so I try to eat only one or two bananas maximum per day.
See the attached links for banana nutrition and glycemic load information.

My wife is a dietitian and I'm sure 3 bananas a day is fine, unless you have an allergy to them or some weird metabolic disorder that causes hyerkalemia (too much potassium in the blood.)
A long time ago, I had a friend over and he started to complain about severe stomach aches. I took him to the emergency room. They said he had hypokalemia (potassium deficiency) and they told him to eat a lot of bananas. The weird thing is the same guy went on a camping trip with my brother, and the same thing happened again. That guy died about 10 years ago, I never heard of anyone else I know having a potassium deficiency--he must have had really bad eating habits or some kind of medical problem.

Yes. 3 a day is great! My 2 year old eats 3-4 a day and I usually eat 2/day. My 2 year old actually eats 2 on every trip to the grocery store (hey, its better than a bag of chips). We have not problems with anything related to the bananas in our diet and it keeps our potassium at a good level.

There is lots of potassium (amongst other things) in bananas...(potassium prevents leg cramps, etc.)..so yes, they are good for you. You can have 3 a day but they might stop you up a bit if you do that on a regular basis.

Sure. The best bananas come from southern India. They're like fat, short phalluses in shape and size. They taste so much better than the big ones here.

Yes!!
Potassium helps get rid of pooter gas, a good mosquito repellent, and helps womanly cramps.

I don't know about three a day, but they are good for you. And they don't stop you up. The reason they're good for you if you have diarrhea is because they replace electrolytes lost.
