Not today.. I've heard such.. Just mind how you eat outside that's all. One place is okay so if the problems starts, you know where and what you've eaten

This is serious... Who brought this idea?

Thanks for this

ZACHIE:
This guys is raising a false alarm

he is saying the truth. I asked from my mum back if people us paracetamol to cook meat, as a caterer she replayed yes that she even use it where she worked.... Am even worried when she told me herself thatched use it. . That mean almost all good vendors or caterer now use it

prof2007:
There are reports of many people (especially food vendors) using paracetamol to cook meat. Their reason for this is to quickly tenderize the meat and avoid long boiling times.

However, putting paracetamol into food has very serious health implications. When the drug is used for cooking, it is hydrolyzed (broken down) into 4-aminophenol, which is highly toxic to the kidney. Also, high consumption of analgesics over many years is a well-known cause of kidney damage.

Paracetamol poisoning usually causes liver failure which may also be accompanied by acute renal failure. High doses of aspirin or paracetamol can cause acute renal failure. Therefore (for health reasons), use of paracetamol for tenderizing meat must be highly discouraged.

Toughness of meat comes from the collagen (the connective tissues). During cooking it slowly breaks down into a substance called gelatin, and the meat becomes soft.

Without using paracetamol, you can tenderize meat by:
1. Cooking with a pressure cooker.
2. Brining (salting). This involves soaking the meat in a highly concentrated salt-water solution, typically for about 20 hours, before cooking.
3. Slicing the meat. This helps to sever muscle fibres and thereby hastens softening while cooking.
4. Pounding meat (e.g. with a mallet) before cooking.
5. Marinating (soaking) with acid in the form of vinegar, citrus juices or wine before cooking.
6. Marinating with enzymes. Pineapple, kiwi, ginger, Asian pear and pawpaw contain enzymes that can help tenderize meat.
7. Velveting the meat. This involves coating/soaking pieces of meat in a mixture of cornstarch, rice wine, salt, sugar, egg whites, and sometimes soy sauce, for about 30-45 minutes before cooking.
8. Slow-cooking the meat.
9. Using commercial meat tenderizers, which are sold in powder or liquid form. They should only be used sparingly, to avoid the meat becoming unpleasantly soft.

If you know anybody that uses paracetamol for softening meat, please advise them to desist forthwith!

Same here... And it's a shame.

quaintbloke:
Nigerians and shortcut, na wa for us o. More and more people would come down with kidney problems. On a good day we pop pcm like sweets , now add this one join. Paracetamol shouldn't normally exceed 8 tablets a day else the risk of kidney damage increases.



Potash is equally harmful.
Raises the level of potassium in the blood which could damage the kidneys and also cause a heart condition called cardiomyopathy

How about when potash is used to prepare owo? In other to thicken it, is it harmful? I eat it all the time so i want to know cos plantain and owo is a delicacy in my area

This sounds so suggestive
Like you want people to now do it ... I am sure you just made more people aware of what to Cook their meat with
