Suya as it is being made and sold in many places should not be eaten because of the risks and dangers associated. I will try as much as possible to explain this in very simple and clear terms. This is to enable even a layman read and understand the message of this post. I promise not to mention terms such terms as benz[a]anthracene, Fasciola hepatica and Taenia saginata. In fact, forget I mentioned those three. All I just want you to know are the risks and dangers associated with eating just any Suya. What is Suya? If you are reading this, you probably know what Suya is. But by way of definition, Suya is a spicy skewered meat which is a popular food item in various parts of Nigeria and is enjoyed as a delicacy in many parts of West Africa. It is traditionally prepared by the Hausa people of northern Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger, and some parts of Sudan. Health and Safety Issues Associated With Suya Consumption Forget the dirty environment and poor or zero hygiene conditions in which Suya is made and handled in many places in Nigeria, there are other dangers that are inherent in the consumption of Suya – those that many would never know unless they are Food professional or have come across an article like this that explains it. 1. Suya and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Click 2 below to navigate to the second page to see other reasons Suya is not so good for us… 1. Suya and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) You know when they say Cigarette kills? It is majorly due to the PAHs they contain. Many Suya sellers make their Suya by burning all sort of woods and charcoal to make their fire. Some even throw in such things as plastics to make their ember burn brighter in order to cook the Suya meat. Many of these materials burning under the meat contain these Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons — and do you know what these PAHs do in the body after enough consumption or exposure? 1. Some PAHs are chemical carcinogens (cancer-causing compounds) while seven PAH compounds have also been classified as probable human carcinogens. 2. Some PAH compounds are mutagens. Mutagen is a physical or chemical agent that changes the genetic material (DNA). 3. According to a finding, reported in an article on health.usnews.com, high prenatal exposure to PAH is associated with lower IQ and childhood asthma.

Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, has revealed that plans are in top gear by the security operatives especially the police to embark on extra judicial killing of its members since the members are always granted bail whenever they are taken to court. Meanwhile,48 members of the group arrested during the last week Sunday Celebration of 16th Anniversary of the existence of MASSOB have been granted bail by an Umuahia court. Disclosing this to newsmen yesterday in Onitsha Anmabra State, the Anambra North Coordinator of MASSOB, Emmanuel Omenka said the plot to eliminate their members on arrest became rife immediately after the release of 48 members arrested during the Celebration of 16th anniversary of the existence of the movement. According to Omenka who is also the Personal Assistance to MASSOB leader, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike “the security operatives particularly the Nigerian Police and their DSS counterparts were annoyed that the Umuahia court granted 48 detained members bail and now plan to kill us in the night or any time they arrest our members since the court has disappointed them by not jailing those arrested during the celebration of our 16 years of existence...” Read more here, and other news around the world; https://penmyth./2015/09/21/plot-by-security-operatives-to-kill-members-exposed/ |
