Drinking Hot ‘Koko’ (Porridge) From A Plastic Bag Is Equivalent To Smoking 36 Sticks Of Cigarettes—Research

Ghanaians have become used to serving ‘koko’ or porridge in plastic bags.

But did you know that this practice is actually harmful and you are indeed indirectly signing your own death certificate by drinking hot porridge packaged in a plastic bag? Don’t argue!

This is the whole point; according to the Ashanti Regional Director of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Dr. Jackson Adiyiah Nyantakyi drinking hot koko from a plastic bag is equivalent to smoking 36 sticks of cigarettes.

Dr Nyantakyi explains that the additives and chemicals used in plastic production have a significant impact on human health and should be avoided.

Other studies have highlighted that plastics for packaging of food can lead to many health implications including cancers, kidney, and liver related disease, among others.
