Who Shouldn’t Eat Pumpkin?

Pumpkin is very healthy and considered safe for most.

However, some people may experience allergies after eating pumpkin.

It’s also considered mildly diuretic, which means eating a lot of pumpkin may induce a “water pill”-like reaction, increasing the amount of water and salt your body expels through urine.

This effect may harm people taking certain medicines such as lithium."
