Yes, tin can be used if it is made specially for that purpose like the tins made to make cakes etc. But if it is a disused tin like the one you removed sardines from etc, those actually have the walls coated with BPA or Epoxy resin which is what you are trying to avoid in the first place.

If you go by the amount of foods that medical experts said not to eat because of the risk of one disease or another you will be eating green leafs like a goat for the rest of your life.

Meat because of cancer, rice because of diabetes, eggs high cholesterol, fish is contaminated with mercury, poultry because of high blood pressure and on and on it goes.

As long as you eat everything in moderation and live a physically active life, you should be ok.

Even in the west, there are hot fast foods served or microwaved in plastic containers.

Many Decades ago, the word Cancer seemed isolated; restricted to some faraway lands abroad but not common in Africa and most especially, not in Nigeria. But nowadays, cancer has become very prevalent on these shores and has taken the lives of many prominent Africans and Nigerians alike. In this series, we would be looking at what has changed and what we might be doing wrong which we weren’t doing back then that has now led to a spike in the number of cancer cases and as a result, cancer deaths in Nigeria.

Have you ever had this in a fast food restaurant in Nigeria before? If yes, you should desist. You want to know why? Okay, here is why:

In days of old, beans pudding also known as moi moi used to be prepared in leaves. Leaves are organic, natural and harmless. They even give a nice flavour to the beans pudding when cooked.

But today in most places, they are prepared in plastic containers and people still gobble it up, oblivious of the inherent dangers of this modern practice.

Plastics are hydrocarbon.

To explain what this means to the lay man, plastics are gotten from crude-oil; just like your petrol, diesel and engine oil.

When plastics are heated, they release chemicals and these chemicals get into the food that the plastics are used to cook like the beans pudding, moi moi for example. Most of these plastics contain a chemical known as Bisphenol A also known as BPA. When you heat the plastics- as with any stable chemical composition, it becomes unstable and releases these chemicals.

As a rule, DO NOT heat any plastic container with food in it or cause it to become hot e.g by leaving it in the sun.

Although, in advanced countries, there are BPA-free plastics being widely used because of the dangers of ordinary plastics, you can be sure that the plastic used for your moi moi is not BPA-free as BPA-free plastic is not cheap so you cannot buy your moi moi for N250 and expect it to be in BPA-free plastic.

So, as a precaution know these:

There are so many different types of plastics with different uses for each but avoid heating all types of plastics. Including the ones that say on it, “microwave-safe”, “dishwasher safe” etc. Plastics are plastics.

When you want to warm food you kept in plastic in the freezer, put the food in a ceramic bowl, pot or pan before warming it- and that includes the quick warming we do by putting water in a pot and warming the food inside the container that was used to freeze it. (Yes, we know about that)

Take extra care if pregnant as these plastic chemicals affect the unborn child.

Be safe till next time. Bye.

BuyNaija:
Why is it difficult to read a short article and learn?
moi mo I itself isn't the problem , the problem is if you make it with nylon or plastics .
Moimoi in leaves is very healthy .

RichYoungNigger:
Why are you lying ??
Only the ignorant folks will believe this.

Do you know what coca cola is made of ??

Just pour some coca cola, fanta, sprite on a rusted iron or a dirty surface, you will see how it will clean the rusted iron or dirty surface out.
Do you know what the same coca cola does to your internal organs and intestine ??




I'm not that dumb to believe what you just wrote

Moi moi in leaves is good, problem is when it is made in plastics .

RichYoungNigger:
You've transformed from a liar to a lion.

I have a degree in biology from Ohio state university.

So, plastic bags causes cancer ??

The Nigerian government should invest heavily on education.

londoner:
I think you have missed what the OP is saying. It is not the beans or eating of moi moi it is the act of reheating plastics from which we eat moi moi and sometimes cook it.

The food industry even in the West does not care about health they only care about keeping costs low and maximising profit.


Many plastics have been linked to cancers and other illnesses. Just because you are not struck down the moment you eat from a heated container does not mean you health will not be affected long term.

It's the same thing my aunt said when my mum tried to tell her not to use asbestos in building her house. She physically felt fine but now she is no longer with us as she developed a massive tumour.

There are lots of things that are quicker 'easier' in our modern lives that are actually making us sick.....slowly.

Nylons(as we call them ) and plastics are very dangerous when heated, leaves are the best, and even the leaves have their own added advantage to the moi moi nutritionally, very good post.

The most important article of the year -- a word is enough for the wise!

Similar goes for sachet water and plastic-bottled water left in the sun or near any heat source.
