Mafuta ya Alizeti nayo hatari kwa afya - TFDA

[Asamwa]

Katika gazeti la Mwananchi la Tarehe 17/09/2013 kuna taarifa yenye kichwa cha habari

"TFDA yatahadharisha mafuta ya alizeti mitaani".

Habari yenyewe ni kama ifuatavyo:-

Mamlaka ya Chakula na Dawa (TFDA) imesema mafuta ya alizeti yanayouzwa mitaani hayakidhi viwango vya usalama wa binadamu. Imesema, hali hiyo inatokana na wasindikaji wadogo kutumia mashine ambazo hazichuji vizuri mafuta hayo.

Habari hizo zimekuja wakati ambapo kumeibuka mjadala mkali baada ya TFDA kutoa taarifa kwamba mafuta yanayotokana na mbegu za ubuyu yana kiwango kikubwa cha kemikali. Inasemekana kemikali hiyo in athari kwa afya. Ofisa Uhusiano wa TFDA, Gaudensia Simwanza, alisema mwaka jana walianza mpango wa majaribio ya utafiti kuhusu mafuta hayo kutoka kwa wasindikaji wadogo Singida.

Maswali ya kujiuliza:-
1. Mafuta ya mitaani ni yapina wananchi watatofautisha vipi ya mitaani na ambayo si ya mitaani?

2. Kutokana na hii kauli ya TFDA ni nini wananchi wanatakiwa kufanya? Waache kutumia mafuta ya alizeti au vipi?

3. Mafuta ya alizeti hayajaanza kutengenezwa leo au jana. Yamekuwa yakitengenezwa kwa muda mrefu sana. Je, ni kwa nini TFDA hawakufuatilia ubora wa hizo mashine siku zote hadi sasa ambapo wananchi wengi wameshatumia mafuta hayo kwa muda mrefu, kiasi ambacho kama kuna madhara basi wengi tumeshaathirika?!

Kwa kweli imefika wakati hivi vyombo vyetu vinavyohusika na maswala yahayohusu afya za wananchi ikiwamo TFDA viache ubabaishaji. Kinyume na hivyo wananchi tutaendelea kuugua magonjwa ambayo hata chanzo chake ni vigumu kubaini!

Olive oil ndio mafuta pekee ambayo yako salama. Mengineyo ni hatari kwa afya yako

wAHINDI WAMEANZA KUTUMIA TFDA KUTETEA MAFUTA YAO YANAYOTOKA NJE BAADA YA KUBAINI WATANZANIA SASA WAMEANZA KUHAMIA AITRTEL (ALIZETI ASILIA) HAWA TFDA LAZIMA WAELEWE KUWA WATANZANIA SASA WANATAKA TUMIA KILICHO CHAO ASILI NA SIYO MAFUTA ARTIFICIAL YA KUTOKA NJE.WAHINDI IKULA KWAO MIMI NA MAFUTA YA ALIZETI NI SAWA NA PUA NA KAMASI

 

[deepsea]

Sie alizeti tunalima shambani kwetu tunatwanga kwenye kinu na kupikia wenye,TFDA wakashughurike na hao waliowalisha ARVs zilizochakachukuliwa watanzania

Labda tuanze kwa kuuliza, kitaalamu kabla alizeti haijakamuliwa ina madhara gani kiafya? Maana inakoelekea tutaambiwa hata ugali una madhara kiafya ili watu wale kachori.

Thread zingine zitanifanya nipigwe ban tu.
Yaani uzembe wa TFDA kushindwa kutimiza wajibu wao wa kudhibiti na kumlinda mlaji upelekee kupiga marufuku mafuta, kweli?

 

[Abunwasi]

Unajua hivi vyombo vyetu kazi yake ni kututisha tuu kila siku badala ya kutuelimisha tufanye nini ili mafuta haya yawe salama.
Hata hivyo mafuta haya yamekuwa yakitumika huko vijijini miaka mingi bila athari yoyote ile wao huwa wanayachemsha mpaka moshi mweusi utoke [sasa sijui kama hiyo ndiyo process ya kuondoa tindikali au vipi lakini nimegoogle kidogo na hivi ndiyo uzuri na ubaya wa mafuta hayo
Health benefits
There are a variety of health benefits associated with the consumption of sunflower oil.
Diet and cardiovascular benefits Sunflower oil is high in the essential vitamin E and low in saturated fat. The two most common types of sunflower oil are linoleic and high oleic. Linoleic sunflower oil is a common cooking oil that has high levels of polyunsaturated fat. It is also known for having a clean taste and low levels of trans fat. High oleic sunflower oils are classified as having monounsaturated levels of 80% and above. Newer versions of sunflower oil have been developed as a hybrid containing linoleic acid. They have monounsaturated levels lower than other oleic sunflower oils. The hybrid oil also has lower saturated fat levels than linoleic sunflower oil.
Restaurant and food industry uses Restaurants and food manufacturers are becoming aware of the health benefits of sunflower oil. The oil can be used in conditions with extremely high cooking temperatures. It may also help food stay fresher and healthier for longer periods of time.A number of common snack foods currently contain sunflower oil, including NewYork Fries French fries, Majans bhuja Mix healthy snacks, the Sri Lankan style Bombay Mix - Rani Mix, Kettle Chips, Sun Chips, Sunflower Chips, Ruffles, Walkers and Lay's potato chips. The recipe of Lay's potato chips was modified in late 2006 to use sunflower oil as the only frying oil by 2009, the recipe again included other "natural oils".
Skin protectant Sunflower oil, like other oils, can retain moisture in the skin. It may also provide a protective barrier that resists infection in premature infants. Studies using sunflower oil have been conducted involving low birth weight infants who are often susceptible to infection due to their underdeveloped skin. The study determined that infants receiving a daily skin treatment of sunflower oil were 41% less likely to develop infections in the hospital.[SUP]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunflower_oil#cite_note-17[/SUP]
Suggested negative health effects
Sunflower oil is richer in omega−6 linoleic acid (48–74%) than most of vegetable oils. Some medical research suggests that excessive levels of certain omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids relative to certain omega-3 fatty acids, but likely in conjunction with exogenous toxins, may have negative health effects. Those include an increase in the likelihood postmenopausal women may develop breast cancer. A similar effect was observed on prostate cancer, but the study was performed on mice. Another study indicated that, when heated to frying temperature for extended periods, sunflower oil produces aldehydes, which may be associated with some neurodegenerative diseases. Preparation and storage Because sunflower oil is primarily composed of healthier but less stable polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, it can be particularly susceptible to damage by heat and light. Keeping sunflower oil at low temperatures both during processing and storage can help to minimize rancidity and nutrient loss, as can storage in darker amber-colored bottles.[SUP][citation needed][/SUP] Methods of extraction Sunflower oil can be extracted using chemical solvents such as hexane, or squeezed directly from sunflower seeds by crushing them in an expeller press. Cold pressing sunflower oil using an expeller press under low-temperature conditions is a preferred method for those seeking an extraction process that doesn't involve chemical solvents, as well as for people following a raw foods diet. Refined versus unrefined Refining sunflower oil through solvent extraction, degumming, neutralization and bleaching can make it more stable and suitable for high-temperature cooking, but will also remove some of the oil's nutrients and flavor, including color pigments, free fatty acids, phospholipids, polyphenols and phytosterols. Unrefined sunflower oil is less heat stable, but will retain more of its original nutrient content and flavor, and is well suited to dishes that require low- or no-heat.

wahindi wameanza kutumia tfda kutetea mafuta yao yanayotoka nje baada ya kubaini watanzania sasa wameanza kuhamia aitrtel (alizeti asilia) hawa tfda lazima waelewe kuwa watanzania sasa wanataka tumia kilicho chao asili na siyo mafuta artificial ya kutoka nje.wahindi ikula kwao mimi na mafuta ya alizeti ni sawa na pua na kamasi

mkuu hii danyanya toto umenena sana mkuu mimi ndani kwangu nina madumu sasa yamebaki 4 nafuata mwenyewe singida nanunua magunia ya alizeti napeleka mashine nakamua napakia kwenye gari yangu narudi mjini dasalama saafi naagiza mawese lita kumi kwa wakwe natulia ndani nshaacha hayo ya wahindi long time tfda wanauza heshima ya nchi hii wajinga kabisa waseme basi hata ule ufuta unaotengenezea kashata ni hatari kwa afya ,wanakuwa kama yale mawabunge yanayotetea gmo kisa wamehongwa wakulima wanateseka sana ,waafrica hasa tanzania ni mavi kabisa hawana uzalendo matumbo yao tu na familia zao

Hamna mafuta saama kama ya nguruwe, soon tutawasikia Mamlaka ya chakula na dawa
wakisema

Hata ya ng'ombe ni poa sana.

olive oil ndio mafuta pekee ambayo yako salama. Mengineyo ni hatari kwa afya yako

wewe VUVUZELA hiyo olive oil inatokana na nini kama sio mimea?

 

[Chivundu]

Sasa tule nini? maana kila kitu ni sumu.

Kwa TFDA hakuna kilicho salama kwa bidhaa inayozalishwa na waswahili. Hawa wanatakiwa kuchunguzwa huenda wamekula mlungula kwa KORIE!

 

[Iron Lady]

mwisho tutaambiwa hata kula nako ni vibaya kwa afya hivyo tusile chochote. dunia ina mambo.

 

[Mr Rocky]

Kuna watu wameenda kuanzisha viwanda vya hayo hayo mafuta huko singida na naona soko haliendi vizuri maana bado watu wanakimbilia yale yaliyokamuliwa na hizi mashine za wakulima wadogo wadogo ambayo yanaaminika hayajachanganywa na kitu maana unayaona wewe mwenyewe yanavyopelekwa kwenye mashine na kukamuliwa na kuwekwa kwenye vidumu
Sijui TDFA walikuwa wapi wakati hizi mashine za wakulima wadogo ziko miaka na miaka zinakamua mafuta leo tunakuja kuambiwa zina madhara
Hata waseme vipi tutaendelea kuwaunga mkono wakulima wa singida na kwingineko kuyanunua maana ndio mafuta angalau salama yaliyobaki ambayo hayajachakachuliwa
nayatumia mimi na familia yangu na sitaacha kuyatumia maana nilitumia sana mafuta haya ya kununua madukani kila siku watoto wana vipele mwili mzima nilipoacha kuyatumia na kuanza kutumia mafuta ya alzeti sijawahi ona hilo tatizo tena
Nitawaunga mkono sana wakulima kuyanunua haya mafuta mpaka hao TFDA wakawaelimishe hao wakulima namna ya kukamua mafuta yao vyema au waambie wakulima ubovu wa mashine zao na sio kusema yana madhara badala ya kuwasaidia wakulima wanaohangaika au walaji wa yale mafuta ambao wengi wanayatumia

Mpaka kuitwa "mkuu wa meza" ni kwamba vigezo na masharti vimezingatiwa!

 

[Sometimes]

Haya mafuta mbona yalikuwepo hata enzi ya viwanda vya MOPROCO kule Morogoro!

 

[Nyamgluu]

Wao ndio hatari ya kwanza kwa afya zetu! Bloody fools wanaleta siasa hadi kwenye science.
