no problem...some might cause diarrhea but you find that out and it is transient...i don't think its a good ideaa to give it every day but i had never seen it cause a problem except an occaisional diarrhea...

The only fruits I usually caution against are grapes and raisins. They are thought to be toxic to the kidneys, the last I heard.
