They ought to provide more details how foods processed with locally fabricated grinding machines contribute to organ failures and cardiovascular diseases.


Is it that the locally fabricated grinding machines don't grind the food grains properly or they introduce certain harmful chemicals present in only locally fabricated grinding machines into the foods during the grinding process? They need to provide more details to enable Nigerians know how to prevent it
I think it's because most the artisans who fabricate those grinders do not use food grade steel.

This is what I found on google

Key Dangers of Non-Food Grade Steel in Grinders

Heavy Metal Contamination: Non-food grade equipment can shed iron filings, rust, and other metal residues (like manganese) into food, which are harmful upon ingestion.

Toxicity and Long-Term Health Risks: Exposure to heavy metals from grinding machines can cause severe health issues, including kidney and liver damage, neurological disorders, and cancer.

Corrosion and Rust: Carbon steel and low-grade metals corrode when exposed to moisture and salt, leading to pitting and rust spots that contaminate food.

Bacterial Growth: The rough, pitted surfaces of corroded, non-stainless [/b]materials can harbor bacteria, which grow up to 40% faster than on proper food-grade stainless steel.

Toxic Leaching: [b]Acidic foods (like tomatoes) can react with lower-grade metals (e.g., 200 series) and cause toxic metals like nickel or chromium
to leach into the food.

Unsafe Chemical Exposure: Some non-food grade metals may contain contaminants such as lead, which are dangerous when ingested.

In the course of grinding, fine particles of metal linch into the grounded pepper or stuff.

Ever since I discovered this. I go buy blender straight! No more ero ilota

NO FURTHER REASON WHY THEY THINK SO , NO RESEARCH RESULT WAS GIVEN. THEY COME OUT AN THROW NONSENSE OUT TO THE PUBLIC because THEY BELIVE THE NIGERIAN PIBLIC ARE BRAIN DEAD AND DONT REASON .
Re: FIIRO Links Organ Failures To Foods Processed With Local Grinders by Tecno66:
The fact is that the grinding parts of foreign or imported grinding machines are made of refined or alloy materials that do not corrode. These additives, added during manufacturing process, do not permit corrosion. On the other hand, locally fabricated grinding machines are made of basically ferrous or mild steel components that get easily corroded. It's the corrosion that mixes with your grinded pepper or beans to affect internal organs which gets damaged while trying to process or digest these contaminated food items. Sometimes , you find corrosion in form of brownish coloration. The explanation is as simple as that.

I don't understand this post. Is this an ad to promote Buchymix blenders or what?

What is the research analysis? What is the correlation between locally build blenders with organ failure? Who did this research? What is his/her motive? What is the conclusion? What is the logics behind this?

So many questions to ask.

Maybe the alloying elements in the steel of the container and grinding rod.

The negative effect of grinding machine fabricated locally is minimal compared to the deadly effect of refined food.


If you know you know.


Make I give only two examples of refined food but dem many.
(1) Refined sugar.
(2) Seed oil.
(The one una dey call vegetable oil or ground nut oil).

Capisce?

Re: FIIRO Links Organ Failures To Foods Processed With Local Grinders by NoToPile: 2:20pm On Feb 16
Introduction of metals in the foods, slowly in small quantities but over time.....

Ask those who did university project producing baby food why they don't grind at our local grinders , the metal content is always extremely high, particles from the grinding machine contaminates it.

Let's not even talk about the grease and rust.


Everybody who is into food processing and runs tests on their products knows this.

Possible solution is stainless steel grinders.

How can you guys be so careless
Re: FIIRO Links Organ Failures To Foods Processed With Local Grinders by Luckystarsssz(m): 2:25pm On Feb 16
Na today I no say fiiro don turn another useless govt agency,

You leave fake drug
Heavy use of pesticide and herbicide in the production of these foods

Not to talk of the dangerous chemicals used in storing these products.,

Snipper use store beans them process the beans to mia mia firo leave the snipper then use store the food say na machine them take grind and

Use silver sulphide store store corn what about maize barn that your animals eat.

Abi na palm oil wey them dey use chemical to increase profits.

Fiiro leave all that one say na The grinder.

What about those that rear chicken…most chickens are drug with chemicals that even human.s will never take in a bid for profits

Goat is worst just to treat lice they have 4 dangerous chemicals they use ivermectin and three others


Cow is even worst steroids after steroids for milk and growth same thing

Leave agricultural enter pharmaceutical

Many drugs in Nigeria are completely fake,

Fiiro leave all this say na grinding machine

If you've been to any big farm where they train animals and store cropp


This fiiro nonsense research will make you shake your head.

The grinding teeth introduces a lot how heavy metal filings into the food
Re: FIIRO Links Organ Failures To Foods Processed With Local Grinders by epainos: 2:29pm On Feb 16
The report is so on point. I find it extremely hard to use those grinding machines. You grind and see oil in your food. Damn! When I see the inside at times, I want to vomit. Rusts, black substances, green color, etc. I always ask how people use these machines.

I'm sure the metals used now are substandard that release metals.

It is well.

It is common sense to know some metals are mixed with the food during processing. No be everything den go teach you, use your head.

I created a topic about it last year. https://www.nairaland.com/8569798/food-nigeria-higher-level-iron

During grinding, iron that is part of the metal used in fabricating the grinding machine keeps breaking into smaller pieces which contaminates the grinded food.

How does iron contaminate food like tomatoes and flour when your body naturally needs iron?

I don't believe that study one bit.

The paint they use to paint these tools with isn't it even toxic? Plus, how often do they give them a good clean? These guys will grind wet food late at night, leave the detritus in the machine till the next day to ferment and possibly become toxic, and grind dry food.

What are foreign grinding machines made of? ... our locally ones are made of iron that breaks into pieces during the grinding process ..but the foreign ones don't? .. what's the difference ...abeg .... explain . And what we be grinding to make the grinder break into little pieces? ...stone? Even if what you say is true ... and little pieces of iron enter our system ... sinc when iron is linked to heart attack and organ failure? Please ....stop trying to defend nonsense . The man is an idiot for making such a statement. I strongly believe some people in high office need to be stoned.

i am totally disappointed in the beer-parlour write up first in the words they use "maybe" they are not even sure and I don't think they do any reaseach

secondly, organ failure and cardiovascular diseases are common in the town and majority of the town now use blenders and the are they need to look into is where people using harmful chemical to preserve food stuff and make some ripen fruits

mariovito:
i have always suspected these local grinders

paint job and coatings inside the grinding funnel washes into the food being ground

same as other materials like grease
You are right. Those paint could have a lot of lead and lead is a heavy metal known to cause many health issues. They should look into constructing those machines with good grade stainless steel.

Which food do you eat without being processed? It's only fruits.
You are merely splitting hairs. Ulra processed foods are those with preservatives, artificial flavors, coloring, sweeteners etc.
All foods are processed but not all are processed the same way.
