NAFDAC Links Increasing Kidney Diseases To Cooking Practises

The National Agency for Food Drug Administration Control, NAFDAC, yesterday blamed the sharp rise in cases of kidney and liver diseases among Nigerians on illicit cooking practices, poverty, and ignorance.

The Director-General of the agency, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye at a press conference in Lagos expressed dismay that many Nigerians still add paracetamol to the food that they cook.

“The use of paracetamol to cook is like digging one’s grave because it contains para amino phenol which when subjected to heat affects and destroys the kidney.

“The agency is working with the federal government to increase its capacity so as to serve the Nigerian people better,” she said as she blamed the disease scourge among many Nigerians to ignorance and poor hygiene.
