Cancer is a ruthless ailment to which we have lost so many precious lives, both great and small. A Wicked killer with thousands wasted, still ready to devour more.

The tragedy is, there are no known cause for this medical condition however, there are risk factors that increase it's occurrence likeliness. The highest among these include our feeding choices. Most of these erupted with the advent of technology. Way into the previous century, when people appreciated more of natural and whole foods, the rate at which this medical condition send people to the after life is impressively lower than in our present age.

 

Our present generation prefer to adapt a quick fix method in everything we do even on our health and sadly, we usually end up living to pay the reparations.

This article embodies this habit of ours when it comes to preparation of a native food known popularly by Nigerians as 'Moi-moi'.

Moi-moi is a recipe prepared from grounded beans. It is prepared by adding condiments and oil in grounded beans, then have in wrapped in a substance followed by putting in a boiling water so that it gets hardened hence ready for consumption after several minutes.

This recipe is quite a delicious one but we should not embrace it with the quick fix method else our health shall pay the price.

The recipe is meant to be wrapped during preparation using leaves. These leaves pose no health risk and instead tend to grace the food itself with beautiful natural aroma and other subtle nutritional benefits.

It is quite ironical that instead of embracing this concept, we adopt a quick fix method of using nylons. This is among the feeding choices we suffer from.

Nylon made from a hydrocarbon called polyethylene. This compound is known for its ability to produce carcinogenic substances when exposed to heat.

Now when we wrap our food with this substance and expose it to heat through boiling, these substances are capable of forming and when they do, they shall lodge in the food we prepare them with. From there, they shall find their way into our body.

The effects of these substances may not be immediate but when they are allowed to accumulate, this is usually the when a metastasis might get in.

It is important to understand that we should embrace the concept of leaves at all cost. If in an environment when they can hardly be seen around then we reduce the rate at which we prepare such foods we need nylon for. Also we should endeavor to consume more fruits as they help in detoxification and anti oxidation.
