Are~u~telling~me~to~give~up~garri



#who~go~send~me~pocket~moni~for~me

#cus~garri~dea~save~me...

I don't believe any of this...... Am a 500l optometry student in UNIBEN and never have I heard lecturers talk about cyanic acid or have I read any book that substantiate this claim..... garri has no effect on the eyes.....hostelites or boarding school student should have gone blind by now

Nothing gona separate or put an end to the much love I av got for Garri Ijebu

MizTyna:
I better go blind! I love drinking garri with chilled water and kilishi

lmao, weyre gal

True talk but Garrieon and Nigerians especially students is like B without BB.

fpt

Oto bu ike (garri is power). Without garri I no know how my life 4 don b for school.....importance of garri in ma life can never be overemphasized..#teamgarri

The theory is ablsolutely wrong for me.Garri and I the very self are tangle

WarRLaY:
lmao, weyre gal

boiz dy para on top garri ;Dboiz dy para on top garri

op ,why dont u go and tell all the garri salers in naija this news abi u dey fear ?u just come here come dey pour sand for my garri.carry ur garri preaching comot for here o.*open rubber *take ijebu garri pour for plate*put cold water stair ,e don don o*open d fry fish for plate*cut am chop*make una com join me...T.G.I .F

And so... Are these the reasons why the price of garri is expensive in the market? #Reduce the price of our garri and increase the price of worms#(indomie and spaghetti).

Op, nothing will change my mind about how much I love my garri.
In short my eyes are like eagle's eyes

let me find my glasses so i can read this thread

I think the op is right. I took garri so much in school until year 4 when I was diagnosed of having allergic conjunctivitis when I was having issues with my eyesight. Though I was told to refrain from taking garri which I did, But up till now there are times I have blurred vision at night due to the garri intake. So I can say garri truly have some side effects

If to say na so Garri dey cause blindness, I for don go blind since 1732AD!

WHO has started with its mega-crap theories again. Let them inform us about the genetic consequences of GMO e.g., Dangote's hybrid tomatoes. Abeg make I go take soaked garri joor.

With all pleasure

I still remember my old doings in school......mixing of garri and sugar...using biro case as strall.....inside the class

Akbee:
Consumption of garri is as important as
anything among the populace of West
Africa like Togo, Nigeria, Benin Republic
and others. It gains this importance not
only because of its cheap and readily
available source of food but also a fast
food which requires sugar, coconut,
groundnut, meat, fish, or processed
preferred products like Kulikuli (yoruba) and
water for the readiness of its consumption.

Its transformation into other foods like Eba
also increases its vitality and consumption
among the African populace to the extent
that it calls for no public advertisement
before its sale us made. However, the
consumption if this African renowned grain
has been reported to cause detriments to
the eye like blindness, anemia, cough,
among others. Most importantly, eye
defects which have made some populace
enemies to the consumption of garri and
its by food products.

Arguably, the cause
of this is reported to be the presence of
excess hydrocyanic acid in cassava which
garri is made from due to unwell
processing. The recommendation by WHO
is at most 10ppm of cyanic acid in the
food product. However, its excess,
continuous and frequent consumption may
cause the accumulation and thereby
leading to its adverse effects. The presence
of this acid in cassava could be
understood as the water extract from
cassava kills plants because of its
concentrated form.

Aside eye defects, this
organic acid also causes intestinal
problems and make ulcer patient to
deteriorate. Same goes to other cassava
product s which when not well processed
will cause harm than than good.

Conclusively, excess frequent taking of
garri especially unwell processed one can
hinder one's health and give room for
unhealthiness.

Recommendation

- All our garri producers should learn the
technical know-how of well garri
processing and quality control activities
should be put in place.

- Verification of sources of food nutrient
should be cultivated ; carbohydrates should
be sought from other diverse sources
which are more nutrient rich example
potatoes, brown rice.

- Other complementing source of food
should be sought is as to reduce its lethal
effect.

NOTE: Eye defects could as well be caused based on one or more of the
following:

- Genetics

- Environmental factor

- Nutrient deficiency

- Nonchalant acts

- Lack of healthy practice.
