KNUST researchers have confirmed that fufu and fish soup causes cancer. This came to light after researchers from the KNUST andomly took fufi,rice and stew, chicken and fried rice sample from ordinary Street vendors for the purpose of research.
"In the fufu, we found the cancer-causing agent in the soup. The fish used in preparing the soup was smoked. As a fish gets smoked and charred, it becomes pyrenised. This is because the first hard contacts with metal and contains Benzo(a) pyrene which causes cancer".
One of the researchers then said continuous staring of rice in a pan before it fries makes it's contaminated with metallic Benzo (a)pyrene. Sometimes the London used in staring fried rice is even a metal".
the researchers then provided a solution to beat cancer even if you eat fufu or fried rice regularly. They prescribed that, food should be cooked in a low heat to prevent burning or Charing.
That means, fish used in preparation of fufu soup shouldn't keep long when smoked.that would prevent further contamination that could cause cancer.
