CONSUMER PROTECTION COUNCIL (CPC) IMO STATE. CONSUMER EDUCATION


 Delicious meal is not food that contains all ingredients that make it taste nice in the mouth. If you have been eating foods because of the sweet taste you get from them then you are getting closer to your grave. Some food may taste good in your mouth but they are dangerous to your health. This is because the ingredients used in enhancing the taste of the food can cause deadly health conditions.


Many people are suffering from diabetes, cancer, heart attack, cardiac arrest, stroke, ulcer, liver problems, kidney problems, etc., because of the type of foods they have consumed in the past.


As an agency of the government, CPC owe it as a duty to protect the rights and interests of all Consumers in the state. Therefore, we deem it necessary to share with you three ingredients you should avoid adding to your stew when cooking or avoid eating from any restaurant that add them in their stew.. This will help you reduce the risk of certain health conditions. 


*1. Artificial colors.* Many women and restaurants operators usually add artificial colors to their meals just to make their stew look colorful. They do this because they don't know the effect of adding artificial color to their meal. This ingredient contains excess sodium and artificial preservatives which increase the risk of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. Instead of using ingredients that put your health at risk, you should use enough fresh red tomatoes to prepare your stew. 


*2. Artificial sweeteners:* Another ingredient that enhances food's taste is artificial sweeteners. You should reduce the number of seasoning cubes and artificial spices you use in preparing your stew. Excess seasoning cubes in your meal increase the risk of heart conditions like heart attack, high blood pressure, or other related conditions.

 

Seasoning cubes and artificial spices contain Monosodium glutamate (MSG), an artificial substance that enhances the flavor of foods, it is also available in canned vegetables, soups, and processed meats. Instead of using excess seasoning cubes and artificial spices to prepare your meal, you should prepare your meal with enough fish and meat. Adding stock or dry fish to your stew gives it a wonderful taste and flavor.  


*3. Unhealthy oil.* If you want to live longer in life, you should mind the type of oil your use in preparing your stew. There are many unhealthy cooking oils in the market, using them to prepare your stew increases your chances of suffering deadly heart disease which leads to premature death. 


If you want to prepare a healthy stew, you should get an oil that has low cholesterol. Excess cholesterol in the human body increases the risk of health conditions that are associated with the heart. Cholesterol is a sterol lipid synthesized by the liver and transported in the bloodstream to the membranes of all animal cells; it plays a central role in many biochemical processes and, as a lipoprotein that coats the walls of blood vessels, is associated with cardiovascular disease.


My dear, if you want to live longer on earth you should avoid excess of these three ingredients mentioned above. Be warned!


Share to save lives!
