6 Surprising Side Effects of Eating Grapes

Did you know that grapes are one of the most popular fruits in America, right after strawberries and bananas? It’s not all that surprising, either. Grapes taste as sweet as candy, make a convenient portable snack since you don’t need utensils, and are just plain fun to eat. Not to mention, they’re packed with a wide range of beneficial nutrients, so you can generally feel good about eating them.

According to Shirlene Reid, RD, MA, grapes—like any other fruit—are healthy, as long as they’re consumed in moderation. The only thing you really need to watch out for is the high sugar content, says Reid, which can add up quickly if you’re devouring them by large handfuls. Keep in mind that one serving is 1/2 cup (or about 16 grapes). You might even want to portion out that serving size in a plastic bag so you don’t get carried away.

But have you ever wondered how eating grapes might affect your body? Experts say there are both pros and cons to eating them. Here are a few common side effects to be aware of.
