Not to eat more than one
Although both fruits can be consumed at the same time, neither should be eaten in excess.

For the rest of the small amount of ingredients do exist in the composition of the food, together with whether it will lead to poisoning, the key depends on the consumption of the dose, under normal circumstances will not lead to human poisoning.
