Keep deceiving yourself.How many resturant do you see selling garri even dieticians wont recommend garri as a food ? The whole idea behind garri is poverty-driven.Just like eating pomo and claiming to be deriving nutrients from it.there is difference between six and half a dozen. tongue also, you are at a risk of contacting Lassa fever if you drink garri so stop it asap. cheesy
you are talking rubbish guy!its obvious you drink more than every one here

@OP
Garri is a source of carbohydrate (energy giving food). When taken with -Sugar, Ground nut or milk- supplements; one might need to factor in other classes of food as appropriate.
Other than dat, it's become close to a dessert. My old woman used to fight me over taking it before food was ready though.
Try taking Garri with cold water on a sunny afternoon, instead of a glass of water, your life'll never remain the same =))

With regards to the health hazards mentioned, moderation is advised in whatever we do.

For those claiming the rich do not take Garri, talk about what you know.

Garri is made from cassava and cassava is used to treat diarrhea, malaria, hypertension, headache, and pain.
It is also useful in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome and protects against prostate and breast cancer.
Cassava also strengthens bones, banishes bruises and guards against heart disease.

@Poster, Garri is a good source of fiber, and carbohydrate for energy.

Lagusta: Garri affecting eyesight;
well, it depends on the garri processed. Cassava contains cyanide (u all know that anyway), which is a nephrotoxin and neurotoxin i.e it damages d kidneys and nerves. Therefore it affects eyesight.
The best garri to drink is IJEBU GARRI, cos it contains minimal to zero cyanide. If u wanna kno the original, then know these facts:
1) Garri that is tasteless is poison, only the sour variety is original
2) If u pour garri inside water, it must foam up, at least a bit. If not, throw it away
3) lastly, garri must swell up in water, if it just swims in it, drown it in the gutter.

So,garri is good, but i dont like mine with milk. Peanuts will dowink

Whoever is speculating, and keeps speculating that garri disturbs good eye sight should at least, try 2do so with some proof. As 4 me, garri is everything good until it is proven anything bad
