Stable mind?
Do you know the percentage of poor Nigerians that survive on wheat due to their diabetic state?
I bet you GEJ will not eat cassava bread

Stable mind?
Hoe can you leave under this administration and claim stable mind.

Sharaap!!!

Why is the clueless man trying to force cassava bread down our throat?, is that what he feed his family with the 1 billion he appropriated to himself . There are better ways to encourage cassava production locally than making policies that will only increase the cost of producing bread.

President of the Nutrition Society of Nigeria, Professor Ignatius Onimawo, has debunked the rumour that cassava flour is not good, saying cassava-based foods are healthier for people with diabetes, more than some foods.

The nutrionist made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recently in Lagos.

“Cassava has become not just a food security crop, it’s now becoming a nutritious security crop, because of the fact that, recently, we have the yellow cassava that contains better carotene, which is precursors for Vitamin A.

“So, just imagine what will happen if such yellow cassava is made into flour and the flour is mixed with wheat flour and you use it to produce bread, a lot of things are coming in.

“You are going to eat bread that will now contain precusor for Vitamin A and that same bread will lower the risk of diabetes, lower the risk of reaction to gluten. These are all pluses for such mixture and I want us to take advantage of that.”

The professor said the prevalence rate of diabetes in the country was at least 10 per cent, adding that though there had been an increase generally because of lifestyle modes and dietary habits, the condition had not been linked with cassava consumption.

He disclosed that the Glycemic Index (GI) found in foods should determine the types of food a diabetic should take.

‘Glycemic Index (GI) talks about the ability for a particular food to raise blood glucose immediately and within one hour of consumption.

“Cassava flour or cassava-based foods have been measured in this respect and they fall between the Glycemic Index (GI)of 46 and 60.46 is low and 60 is medium.

Onimawo said mixing cassava flour with wheat flour, which had a high GI of more than 70 per cent, was highly advantageous to a diabetic.

He said: “Let us say, assuming the cassava flour we are talking about has a GI of 46 and you mix it with that of what flour that has GI of 70, by the time we take the average, it goes down.

“It is natural, it is purely scientific. But, in this case, you are mixing a lower GI foods with a higher one, in which case you will bring down the GI which is better for a diabetic than if they take a whole wheat flour bread which is normally 70 to 72.”

Onimawo said that people with type 2 diabetes did not need insulin injections, but needed to know the amount of GI in the types of food they ate.

He said that foods with low GI would help release the glucose on a gradual level into the blood stream.

He advised diabetics to eat foods such as legumes, nuts, fruits and vegetables, which have low Glycemic Index (GI).

You are a capital tramp. No be you wey dey soak gaari for morning, akpu for afternoon and eba for night. See person dey talk like say he dey eat correct.

You exhibit a rare combination of absolute stupidity and parkinson syndrome. What does my soaking garri for two days have to do with the president's clueless policy on cassava bread?

arindin, it is obvious the mindset of the minister of agric is to encourage cassava production, what he however failed to see is that the constraints of cassava production is closely link with the problems facing farming in general eg lack of financing, inadequate farm input etc. so when the clueless president increases tariff on wheat hoping it will work the magic of encouraging cassava production, he his only day dreaming. Until the problems facing farming in general is tackled holistically, same ni

hillsate:

I know your mind is very narrow coupled with the fact that your myopic nature takes the most of your reasoning.
I am not here to waste my time trying to upgrade your set lame and overly dull mentality. You are ignorance personified. Go and give your diabetic peeps cassava bread.

jmaine:

What you placed up there is useless . . .Next time before you call the next man clueless . . .look inwards to be sure your not addressing yourself . .

Beaf:

Guy, why do you people like to expose stup!dity so freely? Does opposing GEJ mean you should be stup!d?
God, I beg o! Shuuuuuuu!

In fact medical studies promote cassava as part of the diet for diabetics, because of its low glycemic index.

Sisi_Kill:

How is this big grammar?

I guess we have to go omo labindin style before some get that dude is trying to say. . . You can't promote Casssava Production if the issues facing farming in general is not addressed.

Okay to make it easier to understand...Promoting a better repellent won't solve the mosquito problem if the window is not fixed. (before you scream big english...repellent is fleet, sheltox)

This is what they are doing with this cassava bread thing.

Does that make sense now?

werepeLeri: LOL -

People don begin equate promoting cassava farming to Boko Haram - i laugh.
