Note: Eating ripe papaya for many days can cause the palms and feet to turn slightly yellow, because one of the 19 carotenoids in papaya is slowly excreted and has not been completely eliminated, causing jaundice. When not used, the jaundice will disappear on its own. Green papaya has a strong digestive effect, eating it when hungry can cause stomach pain. Pregnant women should not eat a lot of green papaya.
