Many times I keep telling people that, eating Garri does more harm to us than good but nearly everyone that hear me say this, get furious with me.

Since child-hood I have had nothing but trouble eating this yellow stuff (Garri).
I normally eat rice from january to december, when I feel the urge to eat soup and garri, just eating it twice gives me health issues.

In 2018, I became worried and I went to see some (medic) practionals and told them about the effect of garri on me, to them I was talking nonsense because they themselves cannot do without eating garri.

I was in a place full of working men when I told them that Garri is poisonous to our body, these guys almost eat me raw. I had a fierce argument with them 1 me vs 7 men because I was trying to let them know that cassava root is very poisonous and harmful to our body.

The garri was constantly making me to have
・Migraine (headache)
・Sour mouth; lips and tongue
・Stomach pain
・Fast heartbeat
・Itchness / scatching
・Body weakness, it makes me very weak. I must constantly lay down.
・Dizzyness, I will not be able to stand for long

The heavy sugar in garri started giving me diabetic symptoms.

・Weight loss (Fatigue)
・Blurr Vision
・Peeing / Urinating every 30 mins.
・Eye Pains / burning; I will not be able to look at the sun or be inside the sun because of eye pain/burning.

The first time I eat akpu in 2002, I nearly died. Akpu is extremely worse

Is anyone experience this?

I love our soup but the garri is poisonous to my body, what can one use to replace garri?

At bolded, what you looking for inside the sun?

You wanna become the next Elon musk?

smiley smiley smiley

Don't mind me, I'm only joking...

I'm guessing you're old enough to have found another substitute for 'garri' cuz this your rant is uncalled for.
I'm very sure you have tons of other food you could have chosen from.

Did I complain about soup? I see that, your ignorance is heavy.

I am talking about what the deadly cyanide do to my body, you are giving me list of soup. I guess you are inside my body, to tell me what is good for me or not.

That's your own allergy...carry the cross alone and stay away from it.. Simple!

You have high insulin resistance.
Probably a pre-diabetic.
Go for proper investigation.

Garri doesn't necessarily cause all the above you mentioned. Unless you're a diabetic.

I only read this part I quoted and I can confidently tell you you have some underlying health issues even doctors don't know. Don't blame garri.

If you're from ijebu, cyanide in garri can never affect you lol

My mother-in-law is from ijebu, a typical ijebu woman, so there was this day, there was food shortage, it was only garri we had, she was like I should go and drink garri, I was like I am a nursing mom that garri is not good for the baby, I was telling her about cyanide blah blah blah, she was just looking at me, she then told me that nothing will happen, I sha drank it, and nothing happened...

Only if you are allergic to garri then you don't have to drink it, garri has been saving life since time immemorial... It is now super expensive sef.

Can I use the wheat to eat soup like garri?

I am not saying that garri wants to kill me. I am only saying my body cannot stand the deadly cyanide. If I don't stop, it will destroy me.

It is poisonous to my body

Re: Garri: This Is Poisonous To My Body by valentineuwakwe(m): 4:24pm On Aug 21, 2021
Perhaps your body is reacting to something else and not garri......better run a diagnostic test all over to ascertain if you are African or European. .lol

If garri kills or poisonous as you claim, then millions of Nigerians would have been dead by now or even at early age..have you not seen those eating garri living long? Also doctors here and abroad would have spoken about it cos I know Africans abroad do eat garri too...I remember obansajo encourage cassava cultivation and its chips so what are you saying?

You did not say how old you are and what time you eat garri exactly.

Attimes check the soup you are eating it with, maybe you don't eat the garri with better soups....
Other carbohydrate foods like yam, rice, etc which contain sugar too could also be bad from your claims...
But be rest assured to visit the doctor and know what is wrong with you.
Thanks
Re: Garri: This Is Poisonous To My Body by Nobody: 4:24pm On Aug 21, 2021
It's a simple case of allergy,just because everyone eats it and are fine doesn't mean you can, there are people allergic to a particular type of water but can drink alkaline water. So it's fine if your body can't handle garri. Doesn't mean garri as a whole is bad, ofcourse everything in moderation.

Bodmum:
anything cassava = diabetes.

Bro everybody body system are not the same, so if Garri is not good for ur health den stop it but never generalized it or condemned it to be poisonous. My fathers and grand father ate this same garri and nothing happens to them, I myself by God Grace will be 29years old dis month and I was brought up by this same garri and nothing of a such, all those symtoms u just mentioned now am not feeling any of them.

But like one guy said moderation matters alot if we should check very well almost all the food are poisonous to our health bcus they use fertilizer to grew them.

So bros stop eating it ok is not good for ur health at all but go for check up maybe there is something else u are not seeing that could be making ur body to react to Garri.
