That was how I ended in the hospital for two days as a result of fruit poisoning. The mango was so sweet, I ate three, it wasn't up to 2 hrs I landed in the hospital. Since then I became scared of eating mango. Most Palm oil dealers add chemical to their products as well. Nothing is safe in this country any more. |

These days, bananas look like something ripe outside but hard inside. You can't even suck water out of oranges, they're so dry. Even red looking water melons are no longer sweet. Everything in this country is a scam. 1 Like |

The more reason why we have to pay more attention to our health. It's like using a low grade engine oil for your car. It will knock down very early if it is not serviced regularly Health maintenance is key Check my signature |

9icest:Ethene is what simple chemistry teaches than help in hastening of fruits to ripe. Since it is a simple organic compound that the body can process, I guess it's cool to use. This thing with calcium carbide tire me. |

NAFDAC need to first of all educate all fruit marketers across the country of the negative consequences of force ripening of fruits using chemicals, placed a ban on the use of chemicals for fruits ripening and lastly arrest and prosecute offenders. |

BigBelleControl: I dey tell you. Even, artisans are scammers. How to know plantain that was rippened using chemicals: the whole of its body will be pure yellow without black spots and the stalk will be green. The one that was rippened naturally will have black spots on its body while its stalk will be black/dark. 1 Like 1 Share |

mzangy: If you see palm oil that is too fine, too attractive to the eye, just avoid it. Most especially, the imported ones. |
Re: How Mango, Banana, Plantain Cause Terminal Illnesses – Investigation by Nobody: 11:10am On Apr 09, 2018 |
Long be today, I've stopped eating imported fruits like Apple, Peach and berries. They use chemicals to ripen it and they add a lot of preservatives to it so that it won't spoil quickly. |

Re: How Mango, Banana, Plantain Cause Terminal Illnesses – Investigation by maasoap(m): 11:29am On Apr 09, 2018 |
bignero:They are just too colourful to eyes. The traders are adding "dye" to it to make it attractive. Good red oil doesn't need to be too red or too colourful before one can buy. |

9icest:The chemical is cheap and can be gotten easily if you're interested. As children, I can't even remember how we got it and used as 'banger'. We put water in a crown cork, add little pieces of the chemical, and cover for a few seconds with a tin. Then we open and apply fire. The explosion from this was usually massive. It sounded more than the regular firework. That chemical is everywhere, ask welders 1 Like |

9icest: Please don't say what you don't know! Local traders do use carbide to ripen fruits, especially banana and plantain. I have not heard of carbide being used on mangoes before. |

This statement is a very wrong assertion, calcium carbide releases ethylene gas when exposed to water. It's the ethylene gas that causes fruits to ripen. Naturally fruits emits ethylene gas from their stalk which aid natural ripening. Has any research been done and published to show that calcium carbide when in contact with fruits is carcinogenic? Also that Dr from the primary health center is Olodo, how can he say calcium carbide has radioactive ingredients |
