Fufu is dangerous, Eba can kill you!! Doctors make shocking discoveries about some favourite Nigerian foods that can send you to early grave- Details can save your life

While food is good for the body and necessary for survival, humans are also expected to be wary of the meals they ingest and the rate at which they consume them. Some types of food, if taken excessively, are capable of causing health risks. The onus is on you to learn why certain foods are unhealthy, why you shouldn’t take them and how you can make better choices on daily basis.

Here are some unhealthy meals Doctors have warned Nigerians to be cautious about their consumption:

Egusi soup:

At the mention of this soup, many will salivate as it is much-loved by many Nigerians… but hold that saliva. Egusi contains something called phytosterols which when consumed, compete with cholesterol for absorption in the digestive system.



Also, egusi has a high level of calories and when garnished with few chunks of stock fish and two pieces of meat, it has a total of roughly 700 calories per serving. Imagine consuming it with about 3 wraps of eba which is about 600 calories.

Loaf of sliced bread:

Bread is widely consumed daily across the country especially because it doesn’t have to be cooked before consumption. Bread belongs to the class of starchy foods and overt consumption increases the risk of getting diabetes.



If you are taking in 100 grams of bread, you are consuming 265 calories, especially if it is white bread. Some Nigerian-made breads are also not completely bromate free. Potassium bromate is added to help strengthen the bread dough and this chemical is cancerous. If you can steer off bread, there are other excellent choices that are low in carbs.

One minute Noodles:

While noodles can’t be called a Nigerian food, it has been adopted into Nigeria’s stream of foods such that it is consumed by both young and old. Nigerians go for noodles because it is cheap, easy and fast to cook, hence the name “instant noodles.”





Tests have revealed that noodles contain high sodium which aside being cancerous, causes heart disease and skin damage. Eating too much of noodles is bad for digestion and it also leads to obesity.

Eba:

Processed from cassava, garri is a food rich in carbohydrate; both the yellow and the white type. Garri helps to restore lost energy but a high rate of consumption does more harm than good. A cup of garri contains about 360 calories, 95% of which is carbohydrates and further consumption with soup, meat and/or fish, increases the level of calories.



Consuming a great deal of starchy foods like eba is like welcoming excess weight with open arms.

Fufu, made from cassava:

Fufu is another staple food made from cassava and its origin can be traced to Ghana. Fufu is of good nutritional value as it is rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates, potassium and low in cholesterol. Some are turned off by the smell that fufu gives and/or the fact that it takes longer time to digest.



Research has it that every part of cassava plant has a toxic chemical called Linamarin. This chemical, even after boiling the cassava, doesn’t change its state and this could be harmful during digestion.

Also, under-processing of fufu, which is rampant, has harmful implications on the health. This is because the cyanide content is not reduced to a non-toxic state. Women and children are susceptible to cyanide poisoning as they are usually the ones who carry out the processing of fufu.

Fried plantain:

There is a meme trending on social media about plantain which reads, “How can you say in good faith that the God who created plantain doesn’t love you?”. This is proof of the love people have for plantain. Granted, plantain is a good source of carbohydrates, vitamin B6, vitamin C and is also a natural remedy for peptic ulcer.



However, plantain contains a considerable amount of carbohydrates and more calories are produced when it is fried in oil. Also, the water content decreases when fried and this might not be satiating enough.

Integrating plantain into your diet is making way for ample calorie intake. Taking 100 grams of plantain is consuming about 30 grams of carbohydrates, 15 grams of sugar and 120 calories. Other methods of cooking plantain (aside frying) should be adopted if one cannot live without plantain.

Pastries:

There’s an endless list of flour-based pastries which are baked, fried or roasted and are often taken between meals. Healthy snacking helps you maintain physical and mental energy and it also helps one have control over main meals. Snacking is however, only healthy when it is done to control appetite and meet nutritional needs. It shouldn’t become a habit because many snack foods are high in fat, calories, sugar and salt.





One tends to gain extra pounds through added daily calories if snacking is done out of boredom or habit. Consuming too many sugary pastries could also lead to tooth decay. Endeavour to avoid buying pastries on the street. Home-made pastries are advisable as one is sure of the type of oil used for the preparation. Oil when used over time becomes acidic but most sellers tend to keep old oil in use and keep frying with oil which is already harmful to

Rice:

Rice is rich in carbohydrates and fairly low in calories. It is a good source of energy because it is carbohydrate-dense. Consuming too much of carbohydrate-dense foods may cause one to eat little of other nutritious meals needed for a healthy life.



Eating too much rice could adversely affect glucose metabolism in the body. White rice contains about 4 grams of fiber per cup and consuming it in excess would fill one up preventing intake of other foods.

White rice is also low in phytic acid because of the bran which is always removed during processing. Ample research has it that white rice increases the risk of getting diabetes. It is advisable to consume brown rice or reduce the rate of white rice consumption.

Pounded yam:

A lot of Nigerians love pounded yam and it is widely consumed across the country. Pounded yam is a source of carbohydrate and a good source of energy which contains dietary fiber that helps reduce constipation.



Pounded yam is high in calories as a small slice of yam contains about 330 calories and one tin cup of pounded yam contains about 400 calories from carbohydrates alone. Pounded yam has the highest glycemic index compared to boiled yam and the process of arriving at pounded yam makes carbohydrates more available to enzyme.....s that disintegrate the carbohydrates to glucose.

Eating pounded yam is consuming calories with no real nutrition. Diabetic patients are advised to steer off foods with high starch and embrace foods with low starch.

I don tire for all this upcoming Nigerian doctors

Fair list. Puddings such as eba, poundo or fufu are not for desk bound workers or couch potatoes. Their ultra high caloroe content will indeed shorten your lifespan. If you donot do physical, outdoor work just stay with the Asians and eat rice. Egusi is indeed bad new more than once a week, so are foods rich in palm oil. The key here is moderation. But the really dangerous foods that should be avoided in any quantity are not on that list unfortunately.

Wait OO!Doctors!Something must kill a man (1) wrong prescription and too much drugs can kill (2) Insufficient dietary intake and too much of it kills (2) shortage of blood and dehydration also kills Now my question is;What can we eat or not eat to avoid death? our forefathers doesn't know all this yet,the live a longer healthy life than this new generation. Pls pls and pls! you that comfortably sit down and type all this I doubt if your breakfast, lunch and dinner is not one of this food thrice or squarely.

Weyin man go con chop. This Xpol guy I'd very talented download his new song herehttp://www.naijapals.com/music/Basabasa_Xpol-92755

Op just say we should fast for the rest of our lives

marylandcakes:
At the end of the day, eat whatever you like but in moderation. Anything eaten in excess will kill you even ordinary water.

Abi oooo

Thank God Tuwo shinkafa and Okro soup no dey the list ,nagode Allah

Eat whatever you like afterall We all live to die

As a food scientists, i have to debunk some of your write-ups here if not all.
1 you wrote that egusi soup is bad, because it contains phytosterol which compete with choresterol for digestive absorption, now let me sch you. Physterol is a natural occuring sterol in plants and plant product likewise is cholesterol in animal and animal product. So if you are saying egusi is bad because of phytosterol then you should include all the whole soup in naija. Also phytosterol helps in reducing blood cholesterol

If u kukuma kjmot all dis food from Nigeria meals... abegi wetin remain... abi eba wit egusi wianmak brains lyk madt no better pas chicken and chips. bt sha chiken de give joy... My grandpapa die at 103...if eba no kee my grandPelle until dat age. Well mak e kee me at that age then am OK wit.
der ril fada

2. Every scientists knows that cassava has a natural toxic substance, that y we process it before consumption. Cyanide is soluble in water so during caßava processing so grating, dewatering, fermentation, frying. Almost are the toxin will be gone remaining minute quantity that wont cause any harm to human
3, there is nothing wrong with eating bread, just dat is has a high glycemic index meaning it breaks down easily to give u energy diff from yam, rice, eba fufu that has low glycemic index

wetin con remain for naija food.if u remove all dis food.no even tell Igbo man nut to eat fufu and egusi with goat meat.ogar u dey find trouble or tell small pikin say rice and indomie go kill u.hahahaha wey we no be white people.

What kind of food somebody will eat now or we will start eating grass like goat an others.

OP my grand mother died at age of 120 eating all these food, any thing can kill a man is not by how careful u are that keeps you alive its just the grace of GOD that keep us going.What kills a white man over there is what gives us strength over here,some white men can not survive a day in our kind of environment but we survive many years here and still surviving so nothing dey happen.

Moderation is the name of the game.

Normal indomie is bad, because is it covered in trans fat and it contains high NACL(salt) some than the daily bodily requirement. U can likewise make your indomie nutritious by boiling it not frying ( u are killing ur self). If possible Leach out the water ( to get rid of trans fat). Put other thing like veg, tomato, egg. To neutrilize the salt.

Too much of everything is bad.
Too much carbohydrates is diabetes
Too much of protein is kidney failure
Too of fat and oil heart problem

Someone can get nourish by eating chicken someone can still get malnourished by eating chicken too it all depend on how u prepare it or eat it.

What we should be concern of is how we handle and prepare our food. Put right proportionate ingredients according to the quantity u are preparing. Dont put too mush maggi because u want to cook sweet food or too much pepper.

Do regular exercise and drink a alot of water note drink purified water. Do dis, u will barely fall sick
