Yes, with speed of light.
I've done it before when I realised it was causing me stomach upset (jedijedi).
I believe anyone can stay away too (not only bread) because of the pain and discomfort that comes thereafter, the problem is in identifying if truly bread is the cause and the type of baked bread responsible.
Nothing compared to a healthy and peaceful life

If you do regular exercise, any negative impact bread may cause, may not affect you.
Someone finally talk sense.... With exercises, you might not experience some diseases or illnesses or simply just do intermittent fasting.

And Nigeria has one of the highest rates of undetected diabetes in the world. That's because most people don't test for diabetes or high blood sugar level.

Diabetes is a silent killer. You can look perfectly healthy without any sign of it for 15 years, but by the time it shows its face, for a lot of people, they have to be on 3,4, or more medicines for the rest of their lives.

Some don't live much longer after diabetes is detected because organs have been damaged.

And these are people who never showed any outward sign of any ailments.

Other countries eat bread, but usually as part of a sandwich including 2 or at most 4 slices of bread. In Nigeria, a person will eat half or a whole loaf of bread in one seating. And on top of that, drink a bottle of softdrinks and tell himself he's enjoying life. Hmm.

Your health is paramount to any aroma or any "Nigerian feel "you get after consuming bread.Why anyone wants to eat a poison like some bread that are often loaded with sugar and salt,together with coca cola, another poisonous drink to the body,baffles me.Bread, spagetti,noodles,rice,cassava etc are complex carbohydrates.They often transform into glucose "sugar" in your body.You might get fat, diabetes,pot belly,stroke, High BP,heart diseases etc after overeating such foods over a long period of time.lt becomes worse if you don't exercise your body consistently.

what about the groundnuts?
Groundnut, particularly the Nigerian and other African varieties have aflatoxin which can damage the liver.

Aflatoxin is in most African soils, and groundnut in particularly take in so much of it as it grows in the soil.

I personally don't eat groundnut much. But I guess it may not do much damage to people who eat moderate portions and not too often.

The problem with people is we eat too much of everything. An individual can sit in his living room and eat a bowl of groundnut, or drink 5,6,7 or 8 oranges in one seating. Way too much. These ways of eating put too much pressure on the liver and kidney.

If I were to eat groundnut, I would prefer boiled ones, as boiling reduces aflatoxin.

Nysc camp killed the urge for bread in me. Sand sand bread and 20 litres of hot water mixed with 2 small sachets of 3 crown milk was enough to make forget bread.

I noticed a serious body tiredness and nausea when I ate a fresh bread that tastes almost like floor and milk. I gave it out. Seriously I want to get rid of this bot belly. I want flat healthy tummy
Start drinking coffee and tumeric first and last thing everyday. After say like two weeks, your belly will thank you for it. No jokes. Also incorporate exercises.

You want to start another argument about how beans is majorly carbs contrary to our long held believe that it's 100% protein. It's not been long I knew the facts myself. 😆

If you're a nutritionist, you would understand that there are varieties of bread. There is even cassava and garri bread. So don't generalise the word bread.

And you can incorporate different fruits that meet your nutritional requirements into bread.

As I've always advised, moderation is the key to everything. As good as water, if you drink it too much it may have adverse effect.

A building with substandard or inferior compositions will still look fine and strong before it collapse. Also, you will heed to instruction if only you know the thousands of people that are being admitted in Nigeria's hospitals on a daily basis for varying health challenges.

For many of us, bread is not just food. It’s comfort, it’s joy, it’s memory.
...
I'm gluten intolerant. When I eat gluten (wheat, rye and barley), really really horrible things happen - not the bloating and other discomforts you describe here. These are child's play compared to what I go through.

Now, I was never really a bread person. So I was always most at threat from drinking beer or malt. And the occasional noodle or spaghetti or semovita. But I recently I started eating beans again and since bread is the only thing I really enjoy with beans, I had to find a way. So I now bake my own bread using gluten-free flour.

That's why I made this thread - https://www.nairaland.com/8280972/yay-baked-cassava-bread

I don't make cassava bread anymore though. I've found I prefer other flours, usually a combination of three or four different flours.
