A health professional has advised against feeding children with cornmeal porridge, locally known as ‘Mmɔri koko’.
In a video sighted online, the female health professional expressed concern about mthe current trend of buying porridge from wayside food vendors to feed children.
She noted that most food vendors use fermented dough to cook the porridge, and fermented dough contains alcohol.
She explained that it is unhealthy for children to consume such a diet as the alcohol content may potentially cause brain damage in the children.
Some social media users find it hard to accept the claim. Rowland commented on X (formerly Twitter): ‘Chale sometimes we for stop this thing … how Kpokponsu / Mm)ri koko cause this … Chale that be what dem take feed most of we all from kiddie time and we wanna pass it on to the next generation so we beg stop scaring us’.
‘No wonder our leaders think Anti clockwise dema Mm)ri koko has damaged their brain’, CitizenK added.SOURCE: Kasatintin.com
