Based on an article on Medical News Today, there are some health risks that eating grapes excessively pose.

Here is a list of the health risks that we should avoid:

1. The grape fruit is a powerhouse of potassium. Eating too much of it may not be good for the kidneys which are not fully functional. It would be a further risk if the organ cannot fully remove all the excess potassium from the blood.
