RSD- Kerala news: Everyone knows that maida flour is bad for health. However, children and adults do not stop eating snacks, tiffins and biscuits made with maida flour. We are eating puris, mysore bondas in restaurants, panipuris and samosas in fast food centers and we are burning health fast. But there is no health consciousness.

This write-up which is going viral on the internet with the alertness that has come with the opposition on Maida in Kerala recently. Death haunts in the form of Maida, people aged 33/31/34/35/37/39/41/43/46 who died in Chennai in last four months. It is worrying that most of them died of heart attack. Please don’t eat flour based products. A cheap, toxic food that is loved by everyone from adults to children is the stuff made from maida flour. Parotta shops are widely found all over Tamil Nadu. There are innumerable parotas that attract the youth and their sales are increasing day by day. But dieticians say that this flour can harm the body. Awareness meetings are being held in Kerala on the damage caused by maida. Countries like Europe, Britain, China have banned maida products.

Due to wheat shortages during World War II, food made from  maida flour began to be distributed. Parota is also popular. Parota has no fiber. So our digestive power decreases. Avoid eating parota especially (at night). Apart from this, one should stop eating breads, cakes and biscuits made with maida flour. Otherwise we will get sick and die. Finely ground wheat flour is pale yellow in color. But to make maida from it, a chemical called benzoyl peroxide is added to wheat flour. This chemical is the same chemical that colors our hair. This toxic chemical, along with proteins in flour, can damage the pancreas and cause diabetes. Additionally, a chemical called alocan is used to soften the flour and make it into a synthetic pigment.

Maida is widely eaten in India. Experts say that this is the reason why diabetes is more common in our country. Maida is also said to cause kidney and heart diseases. Maida Visarjan Samiti, led by a volunteer named Krishnakumar, is playing a vital role in creating awareness about this issue in Kerala. Awareness is being spread throughout Palakkad district about Maida’s misbehaviour towards our body. The campaign is going on in many districts. “From now on, our Kerala people have decided to remove the prota which is mixed with Maida, a foreign food, with our traditional foods of cashew, rice and corn. We are working hard for that.”
