P.S. I’m not a doctor. I use common sense and educate and experiment with this stuff personally. This is my opinion and facts I’ve gathered from research. This is not medical advice. Although the health benefits of pineapple are amazing, it’s not a miracle cure. Talk to a doctor if you have illness/symptoms or deficiencies.
