Infact ikokore na the number one ijebu food and its made from this water yam.bros I never mention Ewura to be the specific WILD yam that Enhance Multiple birth, i just mention some yams which am not sure of any1 among them until i confirm da name of da wild yam sir... Yorubas have different Yams specially for different dishes... For instance, the best yam for pounded yam is AMARA... Ewura is gud for OJOJO... We also have Igangan, dagi dagi, ikokoro, gidiyo etc... And ijebu yorubas are known for ikokore buh in otha part of yoruba land we have OJOJO wich i dnt knw if it's the same wit ikokore... Yorubas process yams into different dishes AMALA, ASARO, OJOJO, IKOKORE, ISU SUNSUN, ISU BIBO, ISU YIYAN AND ALSO YAM CHIPS...

Some people can like to read and understand before making comments. There is a specific type of yam in Oyo so it doesn't apply to all types. So if your mom, sister, friend, girl friend, aunty or whoever eats/ate yam 3 times a day and she doesn't/didn't have twins, please ask her where the yam is from. Anyway, all I see right now is good business and money. 2 Likes |

[quote author=hitman2911]Some experts believed that high content of plant hormone phytoestrogen in yam and cassava is more likely to be responsible for the release of 2 or more eggs on monthly basis during menstrual cycle. However, there is really no strong scientific evidence to support this claim. Okro and Agida (a vegetable) also have high level of phytoestrogen. All these are consumed on daily basis by the Yorubas. The yam species regularly consumed by the Yorubas contain Diosgenin which can be used to commercially produce Progesterone and other hormones same as a wild yam known as Mexico yam which was used to produce hormones in the 1960s. However diosgenin can't be converted to estrogen in the human body after consumption. Genetic predisposition has a stronger association than dietary link. Many tribes and groups in Nigeria do also consume yam but do not have as much twinning rates as the Yorubas. For epidemiologists who may be interested in this study, Yoruba women in diaspora who are not consuming yam will serve as a control for this research. [/quote] in benue state they have high twinning rate as well. |
