Ponmo has been making sence since 1803, please leave our ponmo alone!

I will continue eating it,since it doesn't harm us

Na capital Lie!
Op wetin do u nah? u be enemy o progress?
Before Na my favorite, Bushmeat,una carry style, carry Ebola ban,I bone,switch enta pormo!
Na u want carry science, abi research come pause my pormo, u be witch?

Rubbish. No factss, nothing. Just stating that ponmo has 0g of nutrients here and there doesn't convince me one bit and how can you say ponmo has 0g dietary fibre? Just wanna condemn ponmo, don't you? We are educated fellas, give us some facts. Why wait till next month if actually you've done proper reseacrh on this? Simply shows you've got nothing of a scientific fact. Stop playing about and stop bashing ponmo unnecessarily.

In Nigeria, we like ORIGINAL leather wears but we LOVE to eat the raw material.......poverty all in the name of watching weight..

Op wot do u mean by bad fat?well I always knew dat abt ponmo buh not d fat part sha.truth is ponmo sweet abeg and den me I dey wan add a lil weight and dats not happening even wit all d ponmo wen I don eat,so u beta leave ponmo alone except u find out say ebola de am if not no disturb ponmo at all.ve u eaten vegetable soup wit ponmo wen den cut into bits If not free d ponmo case.

Nutritional benefits of ponmo

The nutritional analysis of a 40 gram piece of ponmo is:

Calories (150g); Total fat (4g); Saturated fat (1g); Poly saturated fat (0g); Mono saturated fat (0g); Trans fat (0g); Cholesterol (0g); Sodium (0mg); Potassium (0mg); Total carbohydrate (0g);

Dietary fibre (0g); Sugars (0 per cent); Proteins (0 per cent); Vitamin A (0 per cent); Vitamin C (0 per cent); Calcium (0 per cent); Iron (0 per cent).

From this analysis, you will see that ponmo is completely lacking in all nutrients.

Smoking contaminates meat

In addition to this, during the production process of ponmo, the hides and skin are usually subjected to naked flames so as to enable the hides to burn off the skin. During the burning process, a lot of different unhygienic substances such as trash, wood, charcoal, rubber tires and so on, are thrown into the furnace to sustain the blazing heat.

As the furnace burns, the combusting wood, gas, or charcoal emits chemicals known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which finds its way into the smoked food and contaminates it.

Exposure to PAHs is known to cause skin, liver, stomach and several other types of cancers in laboratory animals. In addition to this, epidemiological studies have found a positive statistical correlation between intestinal tract cancer and frequent intake of smoked food. These studies have also linked occupational exposure to PAHs to cancer in humans.

When PAHs from a flame mingle with nitrogen, say from a slab of meat, they can form nitrated PAHs or NPAHs. NPAHs are even more carcinogenic than PAHs in laboratory experiments.

All these particles are, in fact, an irritant to our digestive systems because we are not naturally intended to inhale or consume smoke particles. Just as you wouldn’t want to eat cigarette ends, eating smoked foods puts you at similar risks as smoking and also contains many of the same chemicals found in cigarettes.

Yes, ponmo is a delicacy, but the nutritional values and the health implications of consuming smoked foods may begin to make us look in another direction. However, if you are a ponmo addict, you can choose to eat the white ponmo. That type is not subjected to the burning process. Rather, the hide is usually removed by using very hot water, in addition to the use of blades to shave off the hair.

We need to begin to imbibe a healthy eating lifestyle. We need to realise that today’s decisions will be tomorrow’s reality. We need to make changes to our lifestyle that will increase our longevity. There are several foods we may need to let go of in order to live a healthier, fuller and more rewarding life.

Have a blessed weekend.

Now you make me miss ponmo.

You said that 40g of ponmo was used and that it contains just 4g of fat, what happened to the remaining 36g?

gbam, u sabi am

Ofcos, anyone that says we shouldn't chow ponmo should sempe..

[quote author=WhiteTyre post=27922005]It is a well noised news recently in the Nigerian media that 'ponmo' (cow's skin) has no nutritional value. As nutritionists, we know whether this is true or false, but as scientists we ought to give you guys physical proofs, this time, not the usual textbook stuff, but practical findings.
So, keep your fingers crossed, as I feed you guys with information on the proximate analysis of the nutrient composition of 'ponmo'.
Stay connected.

The zero nutritional value of ponmo is the main reason weight watchers should eat lots of it. Again the fat value is very low. Student, thanks for ur analysis but I hope it wont raise the market price of our delicacy, ponmo.

HrtBrkSteve:
But I love ponmo..
Especially when cut into bits and cooked with vegetable soup.

don't mind their hypocrisy. Ask them to tell us the ingridient wey dey inside beer and cigarette.

rodeo0070:
I don't even know what to say about this...
Mama Caro! Give me another round of that curved Ponmo plus that Goat meat and my chilled bottle of Star...

Mama caro pls dont forget to bring my own ponmo well-soaked wit pepper wit chilled big orijin drinks tank u.

debbleopto:

Abi now, but wait ooo...Beer get ingredients ooo, finest barley, purest water...hehehe Gulder, the ultimate. As par Cigarette, mouthsealed#

Eve62:


seun can u for once post smtin reasonable apart from ur normal ''so how does this affect the price of garri''. Its anoying. Jst a piece of advice.

But you eat GARRI and Seun Osewa eats GARRI

I'm here to laugh my as*s out! #team_ponmo

Our fathers ate it, we will eat it too. Quite unfortunate dat any sicknesses and diseases dat u might talk abt are mostly among d wealthy ones wu do not eat ponmon. So, pls leave proximate analysis for nw.
Beside, why d research now, wen d fg needs hide n skin for Industrial purposes, denying us from eating ponmo?

PS : I am responsible for anything dat happen as a result of eating ponmo. #teamponmoeaters.

WhiteTyre:
The results from recent analysis is as follows:
For a 40g mass of ponmo, there are 0g of carbohydrate, 0g of protein, 0% of iron, 0% of sodium, 4g of total fat, 0g of dietary fibre, no vitamin, no calcium.
So, scientifically, the only nutient in ponmo is fat, 'bad' fat, mostly. It will also give you some carcinogenic agents, due to it's mode of preparation.
Therefore, ponmo consumption is only tasty, not nutritious.
Stop eating ponmo. Eaters of ponmo may as well eat shoes.
Next month, God willing, I will be giving you guys further results on the ongoing critical analysis, when it is ready and approved. Thank you all.

So drinkers of kunu and malts are beer drinkers. D same starting materials does not necessarily means/gives d same end product

Obinoscopy:
Okay o, we haf hear. So u mean say na shoe wey I don dey chow since? Chai!

Na lie, don't mind OP. D fact DAT u drink malts does not mean u r drinking beer, of wic they av d same starting material.

Especially egusi soup con collabo am with well ppounded,pounded yam

kpomo may not have nutritional value but it sure has serious emotional value. So leave kpomo alone.
