Inspired by previous thread, can anyone shed any light on a theory I recall from years ago that all 5 segmented fruits are poisonous with the exception of the banana?

Another urban myth or genuine? I done a quick google but was almost bored to death trying to read the first few results.... Fruit and I just don't need one another.

Also, as a pom turning aussie, are there really no poisonous moths or butterflies? I thought Aus had a poisonous version of everything?

Like pinkgecko, I ate a lot of star fruit (carambola) in Hawaii
