Guava + Asthma
Has anyone else discovered that Guava triggers asthma attacks? Or is that just my family? Hmm... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.59.60.128 (talk) 09:04, 7 April, 2006 (UTC)
- Are you talking about fresh Guava? Do any other citrus type fruit cause you Asthma reactions? I understand that people can be allergic to anything but, I would be really surprised if it was "only guava". There is huge verity of flavors of guava fruits and would encourage everyone to try a fresh fruit. Look around the web, there are a lot a health benefits to the guava fruit and plant. Visit the http://www.cloudforest.com/cafe/index.html to see where a handful of folks are growing them outside of the tropics. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gregorycushing (talk) 12:38, 24 June, 2006 (UTC)

Guaba del Ecuador
I don't think this fruit is related to this genus. The inside looks more like an Anona. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.143.106.185 (talk) 12:50, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Old scientific name vs. new name.
ITIS still use Psidium cattleianum as the valid name, stating P. littorale (and others) as being a synonym:
"Psidium cattleianum". Integrated Taxonomic Information System. http://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=27239.
What's the real deal here? Tommy Kronkvist talk contribs 08:36, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
- Simple: ITIS is obsolete, much of the information in it has not been updated in the last decade. Bottom line: only use ITIS if there is no other source available. And do not use ITIS entries where no revision date is given at all. And do not use ITIS whenever you have doubt that all taxa are listed (often, it lists North American taxa only).

Hindi?
Is it true that the Hindi word "amrood" comes from guava? It's a surprising claim. 206.208.105.129 (talk) 18:50, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
Hawaii
Although it is true that people in Hawaii eat the guava with soy sauce and spices, it is also true that they also eat it plain which I think should be noted in the article. I think it would also be interesting to note in the article that Hawaii manufactures guava jelly and jam. I'll include these points in the article after approval from a second opinion.

Most commonly encountered
From the article:
"The most frequently encountered species, and the one often simply referred to as "the guava", is the Apple Guava (Psidium guajava).[citation needed]"
This claim surely can't be universally true. I'm sure it's true in some places. I live in NZ and we have heaps of guava trees here; but I've never seen an apple guava, so it's not "the most frequently encountered". Perhaps someone could modify this by saying where the apple guava is most commonly encountered? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.216.30.112 (talk) 00:19, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
