No, there isn't any evidence to suggest that banana peels contain substances that can cause cancer. In fact, banana peels are rich in various nutrients and antioxidants. Some studies have even suggested that banana peel extracts have health-promoting properties, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. It is important to note that the vast majority of fruits and vegetables, including bananas, are generally considered to be healthy food choices that contribute to a well-rounded diet and can help to reduce the risk of many diseases, including some types of cancer.
