WEEKEND HEALTH NUGGETS BY KIMKY PHARMACY.... PHARM KIM BOT

KIMKY Pharmacy Weekend Health Nuggets:

How to know Calcium Carbide aided ripened Banana and Plantain:

- Non-Uniform colouration.
- Easy to detach from the bunch.
- Floats when placed in water.
- Darkens if allowed for just a day.
- Becomes rotten and softened on standing. DO NOT CHEW!

This aided ripening is an irreversible phenomenon involving series of biochemical, physiological and organoleptic changes in the Banana and Plantain.

Sadly, it alters healthy metabolites by increasing SUGAR and carbohydrate levels, changing colour, texture, aroma, phenolic coda and organic acids.

In all, consuming Calcium Carbide aided ripened Banana or Plantain will ultimately put you at risk of:

- Hypertension
- Diabetes Mellitus
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Infertility
- Transient memory loss
- Weak penile erection in males
- Kidney related disorders
- Hormonal and electrolyte imbalances.

Way forward:

Look for naturally ripened ones if you must eat.

August 11, 2022  Concerned Catholics in Nigeria have called for the suspension of Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong for dragging the name of Pope into local politics that has nothing to do with the Church.

Speaking as a press conference in Abuja addressed by National Convener/President, Dr Ben Amodu, said the concerned Catholics in Nigeria are alarmed that Lalong would elect to throw caution into the wind by dragging the revered Catholic Church into local politics in Nigeria for whatever it is worth. “The reference to the Pope in his statement for accepting to serve as the Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council was made in poor taste and a puerile attempt to drag the Catholic Church into a matter that has no bearing with...
