Eating too much cassava will make you dizzy and harmful to your health. Other processed cassava products, such as cassava starch, cassava strips or cassava flour, are almost harmless to human body because toxic substances have been removed during processing. So it won't do any harm to the body, just eat it with confidence. Cassava is mainly used as feed and flour in our life, because the protein in cassava is very high.
Although cassava can fill the stomach, its nutrition is almost limited to starch, and almost all protein, fat and minerals are excluded. The protein content of cassava is extremely low, only 1.4%, while that of wheat is 12.6% and that of rice is 7%. If cassava is the staple food, it may lead to protein and energy malnutrition. This is a disease characterized by emaciation, edema and dysplasia.
Although, for urban teenagers, it is a lesson to break through the encirclement of fried chicken and hamburgers. As long as we are not obsessed with cassava, we won't get caught. However, cassava is still the staple food in most low-income areas, especially in many parts of the African continent. This disease still plagues many people.
