I read somewhere on Nairaland some years back that consumption of okro soup can bring about low libido or erectile dysfunctional in male. How true is this assumption please?
Please let those who are vast in the field shed more light into this because I love eating amala, akpu, and eba with okro soup and stew.😋😋😋

It's partly true. But you will have a consume large amounts over a period of time before it takes effect. Okro has a compound called gossypol that your sperms cells and testicles do not like.

It is one of the reasons I stopped eating it. I haven't had okro in years.

Our forefathers down to our fathers ate okra soup nothing happened...they gave birth children...so where did you get that idea from...all the oyibo/ science analysis self..

Some may have experienced failed erection later in life.
