The Ingredient You Should Not Boil Your Meat With For The Sake Of Your Liver And Kidney

Being innovative with your diet is good but any innovation that has adverse effects on your health should be totally avoided. Meats are one of the most consumed foods in the Nigeria. Theyre either used to garnish meals or they are eaten directly in form of barbecue, grilled meats or pepper soups.

Some meats are naturally hard and they take time to become tender or soften during the initial process of cooking. To solve this, some people especially food vendors and restaurants owners now add paracetamol as a tenderizer when boiling their meats to make it soften on time. This is a wrong or bad innovation. What they dont know is that this practice does serious harm to peoples health especially to their livers.

The national agency for food and drug administration commission has warned about this practice some years back yet people still indulge in it when cooking their meats. In this article I will explain to you in simple terms why using paracetamol as an ingredient to cook is bad and how it affects your liver and kidney.

Paracetamol is a drug and as you probably know drugs are not the same as foods. To simply put, drugs cannot be treated as foods because they are meant for a specific purpose.

This compound is known to be toxic to your liver and kidney and it causes hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity which refers to the toxicity of the liver and kidney respectively. These can lead to kidney and liver failure.

Now you see that using paracetamol to boil your meat is wrong and detrimental to your health.
