Does anyone else have an addiction to pineapples?

Yea, i love pineapple, but I really have to limit how much I eat in one sitting, otherwise I get this nasty taste in my mouth, and my mouth starts bleeding from the acid. I never have that problem with other high acid foods, only pineapple.

But that's only with fresh pineapple, canned pineapple, which kinda sucks, doesn't have that effect. It's alright though, I've learned to mix pineapple with other fruits instead.

The problem isn't so much the acid, as it is the enzymes it contains which break down protein:

Exactly what I was thinking.

Pineapples are good but they aren't my favorite fruit. I like cherries and blueberries the best.

I love fresh pineapple, but I won't eat anything to the point where it causes pain.
