Each banana gives you about 100 calories so if we were to eat 20 of them, can we survive for at least 1 year?

Are you for real? You’d go banana’s. Although you’d be regular as hell.

I don't like bananas. They give me a stomach ache.

If you ate bananas every day in that kind of quantity, you'd eventually die from too much Potassium in your system because your kidneys would eventually fail.

To put it in perspective, people with kidney disease who have about 50% function in just one of their kidneys are told not to eat more than 1 banana a week.

If a monkey can do it, so can you.

Each piece of gum gives you about 5 calories each, sugar free, fat (transfat and saturated fat) free and low in potassium compared to a banana.

Can you survive eating 400 pieces of gum each day?

Speaking of which, how many calories are there in a litre of sparkling mineral water? Maybe that's a better idea.

Coconuts will sustain human life indefinitely, all by themselves. Bananas, not so much.

Potatoes are supposed to be a complete food - as long as you don't eat any parts that are green.

Ahahaha, couldn't have said it better myself.

You wouldnt starve, it is food that your body can process afterall. But I have hard time figuring you would stay very healthy for long, as posts above mention.

You'll get seriously ill and eventually die by lack of proteins, fat and minerals.

Pure fruiteaters that are related close to men are the large apes.
If possible they eat almost nothing but fruit, however, small quantities of ants, maggots, eggs etc. as well as some extra minerals from different sources are needed to stay healthy.

But if you would only be allowed one and no more then one single kind of food, and try to survive as long as possible, banana's would probably be a good choice.

I tried doing an all fruit diet including bananas and the annoying thing is that you end up pooping alot since there is too much fiber and it's annoying runny poop since fruits and bannanas are squishy by nature. I am a big advocate of raw vegetables though.
