I remember that at the time of Nkrumah, Ghanaians were advised not to use spoons made from Copper to eat, especially not food? Their usage was banned in the Dining Hall of Secondary schools. I very much remember the Teachers on duty would sometimes go around to inspect the eating utensils students were using at the Dining Hall. If one lies about not having any, the food of that student was taken away and thrown into the thrash container..
If it has come to light that food made in our DADESEN can be dangerous, why don’t we stop using them. Do we want to have complicated health issues?

Yes, both lead and aluminum can affect the kidneys, causing damage that can lead to chronic kidney disease. Lead exposure can cause high blood pressure and damage to the kidneys, while aluminum can lead to kidney injury by causing oxidative stress, reduced filtration, and tubular damage. The risk is higher with long-term exposure, and people with pre-existing kidney disease are especially vulnerable…Other factors include consuming excessive carbohydrates (kenkey, banku, akple, ,3ba (cassava/gari) that are all prepared from DADESEN , can contribute to diabetes and kidney disease by increasing the risk of obesity, insulin resistance, and high blood sugar. While carbs don't directly cause diabetes, they increase the risk factors for it, like weight gain and insulin resistance, and can worsen kidney damage in those who already have diabetes or other metabolic issues …The way out is to manage blood sugar by consuming a healthy, balanced diet that limits high-sugar and refined carbs and focuses on complex carbs, lean proteins, healthy fats, and high-fiber foods. Kenkey and banku, tuo zaaafi, lapiiiwa, etc have been prepared from Dadesen since time immemorial.,If the present Dadesen makers are being mischievous, the authorities must follow up with the doctor is presenting, …..just GH for you: watch out, somebody is about to introduce a new brand of cooking utensils. But hold, there are many more kidney diseases in the advanced world than …….but they don’t use DADESEN!

I’m sure you know what it means when Elders say “Kwasia Su.” Ghanaweb publishing what the FDA is saying isn’t any special! With a little brain work, they could have educated us much better. In the first place, ALUMINIUM is highly toxic. Nobody eats from alumi plates and pans in the civilised world anymore. Our policy makers should have known this long ago. Our few scientists should have advised the Government. On another note, I doubt if it’s that easy to combine lead with aluminium due to their different requirements for melting. Kwansen and Dadesen are both artisanal products requiring little technology. Unless made in high tech factories, it won’t be possible to mix lead with alumi. The FDA then must go to commercial Dadasen Facilities to inspect the mode of production. WHY did I say think a little? Your suggestion to go back to earthenware is archaic. Have you been to see Bankye being taken off the fire at a large scale Chop Bar before? It’s not a job Kukuo can handle. The simple answer? STAINLESS STEEL.

Yes its true we have to go back to the earthenware bowls and cooking pots. Many modern scientific house hold items we are using are killers , but the scientists dont want to tell us to break many industries. It will schock pe ...

I don’t have a Ewe name. I don’t hate Anlo Ewe people except Efo Julor Jeremiah Rawlings who, with his Anlo Ewe cohorts wrought havoc on Ghanaians, especially the Asante, Akyem, Kwahu, and the Twi speaking people of Akwap ...

And the advanced countries still have MUCH HIGHER prevalence of this disease.
Says who? Because your people die without being told the scientific cause and the fact that all diseases and deaths are blamed on witchcraft?
As for ghanaweb hmmm so no alternatives mentioned.
No wonder you are also part of the problem
If Ghanaweb doesn’t know of any alternatives, it doesn’t prevent it from informing the public about the dangers it has come across.
There are alternatives. Let us maintain the Earthenware Cooking and Baking utensils that ...

I’m sure you know what it means when Elders say “Kwasia Su.” Ghanaweb publishing what the FDA is saying isn’t any special! With a little brain work, they could have educated us much better. In the first place, ALUMIN ...

Can the FDA publish their research for public consumption and discussion? We are tired of everyday being told that everything that originates locally is not good. We want to see the research and the person who did it.
..to stop using dadesen that contain lead... such a stupid and idiotic talk. How will Ghanaians be able to know which dadesen contains lead. You are an educated illiterate wai ?
Foolish boy! Instead of humbling yourself to learn something important here, you (the very stark illiterate with limited knowledge) is out there insulting foolishly and ignorantly. What at all makes you village nincompoops al ...

So what alternative exist. None stick cookware are also known to pose health risks.
So they should mention the safe alternatives
FDA should go ahead and ban the use of it in Ghana
If the finding is valid then a way must be found to compell people to stop using it by providing an alternate utensil.
Most of the food sold to the public are prepared in that Dadesen. It is then a real menace.
There's no sense in what the lady is saying. Why doesn't the FDA give similar advice to wee smokers? That wee sellers can sell but smokers stop smoking! Why not call for outright ban on production and sale of dadesen? The sad ...

Also aluminium at high temperatures seeps into your food. So you're getting a double dose with dadesen. Use stainless steel pans or iron utensils. Aluminium in your brain gives rise to foggy thinking and generally dulls the ...

This is long overdue. All this while you people were sleeping. Now Add Galamsey nonsense to it. The nation is at a serious crossroad.
Say it again..how do you ignore Galamsey and mention these. Someone is paying for his products or somethings. No seriousness in Ghana
FDA! FDA, hmmmm, u lie, u lie, u are lying. If u don't have better thing to bring please Zip it
Well done better late than never
Ah ah ah ah What about the white people do they also eat from same pot…… hmmmmmm
People are exploring moon you are talking about dadesen....the very thing they have been cooking the waakye and the Koko they sell in front of your office and you and all your colleagues patronize every day
NONSENSE!!
Our parents have been eating from this from ages. No cancer were diagnosed.
Instead of getting to the roots of problems we are engaged in cheap blames of our local foods.
There are a combination of factors ...

You people read something in book and you don't understand then you want to put fear in the public. Let us think and enjoy our local meals and educate the masses on Galamsay rather
@Narh, Thank you so much for your answer. Stress…stress is what is killing most Ghanaians. How many Ghanaians can buy and eat fruits and vegetables? They are so expensive. No sleep cos you rest you lose. In every 10 cases t ...

Then we should stop eating banku kokonte purage kenkey nd others bcs all these foods pass through corn mills including blender masa moma y3ndwen y3 ho
FDA you lie we have been eating from this Dadesen about 100 years ago and our grands parents live more than expected.
what are the safer alternative?
Kenkey, Koko, Waakye and heavy metals flavoured Galamsey Water...
Dis is purely lazy work
Upon all the sort drinks, spices, magie in the market that you can not stop, you are now putting blame on dadesen, pot
God have mercy on us
FDA says they are advising the public against using dadesen that contains lead. The article does not tell us what to look out for to know a dadesen contains lead. Is there a logo? A colour? A smell? Or are you just telling us ...

Iron is a good mineral. Does dadesen also release iron into the food?
Idiot leaders with lunatic thinking, instead of finding a way to improve made in Ghana products they are scaring us... So that we buy foreign ones. Do u know the damage caused by just spreading this news? Who told u foreign o ...

Okay, so, nations who do not use such cookware but have cancer, kidney diseases, what are the contributing factors? The air that we breathe are poisonous and can give us health problems as well.
Use your head small eh!!! Ah!! God give you brains paa, then gyimii saa until the end of the world!!!
#StopGalamsey#Another threat that we have turned a blind eye to is the trucks supplying water to our homes. You can see that the water holding chamber of most of these trucks are rusting. Our institution must wake up to put s ...

They just want to promote foreign businesses which is not good for our country.
The clay pots are the best . The government must encourage the widespread use of clay pots and plates in the homes and restaurants.
Then everybody has cancer
Those so call FDA s, majority of them was fed from this same pot , why they don’t get cancer ? , If it’s true then majority of us already had cancer
FDA please we will not stop using dadesen ,when you were born they have cook in it for you till you grow ,if it give cancer why don't you get before you grow stop throwing dust into people eye
Please FDA, how does one identify products, not just " dadesen" on the local market? Help us out!
This is the pot our great Great grandfather's user,today it tend to death and sickness . Hmmm may the lord guide US.
It will be more helpful for the FDA to point us to dadesen duly certified as lead free as the public cannot detect those with lead and those without lead. So what certification process are they going to put in place to help u ...
