Stinging sensation after eating pineapples?
editThere is a widely circulated claim that bromelain gives our tongue that stinging sensation when we eat too much pineapples.[1] [2] [3] Supposedly the enzyme damage the skin or the mucus in our mouth. But I can't find a good scientific reference. I've also heard some people questioning this claim, pointing to papaya (which also has protease but no stinging) and kiwi (which does not have protease but does sting sometimes) as counter-evidence, and suggestion calcium oxalate crystals as the alternative explanation. Regardless of whether bromelain is the answer, I think the notability of this claim warrant some coverage in the article. C9mVio9JRy (talk) 09:03, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
