The National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has impounded fake baby food and other products worth N3 million in Aba, the commercial hub of Abia.
The agency’s Chief Regulatory Officer, Aba Special Zone, Mr Gabriel Ezeaguba, who said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Aba, added that other items include beverages, wines and hot drinks.
He said listed the items to include expired cartons of SMA children formula 6x 900 grams, fake Milo drinks in the new name “Mama mma anu tea’’ meaning, “Mother I will drink tea’’ produced with grounded cocoa cake.
The others are some cartons of Ovaltine, Teco, sachets of Peak milk, Peak Choke, Vitalo drinks, Eva wines and `MacDowells’ preserved hot drinks.
Ezeaguba said, “Mama mma anu tea’’ was being produced by a man inside a plantain plantation at Uratta area along Port Harcourt Road, Aba, with installed machine and generator which had yet to be retrieved from the site.
He said that materials confiscated as exhibit included frying pans, bags and some other items.
He said that the SMA which expired in 2012 but changed to 2015 and other unwholesome products were being faked at Zone 9 of Cemetery Market and adjoining markets.
The chief regulatory officer said that NAFDAC had also sealed six stores in the markets, while the seized goods had been moved to its warehouse for safety and destruction.
“We have been working in silence but this particular one is so alarming that we want the consumers to be on the know.
“We have been on the raid of Cemetery market and some other adjoining markets for the past three to four weeks.
“About six stores were placed on hold, though we have evacuated the products, most of them are in our warehouse and investigation continues.’’
Ezeaguba urged market leadership to assist the agency on the war against fake drugs, pointing out that consumption of such products could damage the liver and kidney of the consumers. (NAN).

People age 65 and older who eat fish may live an average of two years longer than people who do not consume the omega-3 fatty acids found mainly in seafood, a US study suggested on Monday.
People with higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids also had an overall risk of dying that was 27 percent lower, and a risk of dying from heart disease that was 35 percent lower than counterparts who had lower blood levels, said the study.
The research was led by scientists at the Harvard School of Public Health and was published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
While other studies have demonstrated a link between omega-3 fatty acids and lower risk of heart disease, this research examined records of older people to determine any link between fish-eating and death risk.
Researchers scanned 16 years of data on about 2,700 US adults aged 65 or older. Those considered for the study were not taking fish oil supplements, to eliminate any confusion over the use of supplements or dietary differences.
Those with the highest blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids found mainly in fish like salmon, tuna, halibut, sardines, herring and mackerel, had the lowest risk of dying from any cause, and lived an average of 2.2 years longer than those with low levels.
Researchers identified docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) as most strongly related to lower risk of coronary heart disease death.
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) was strongly linked to lower risk of nonfatal heart attack, and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) was most strongly associated with lower risk of dying from a stroke.
The findings persisted after researchers adjusted for demographic, lifestyle and diet factors.
“Our findings support the importance of adequate blood omega-3 levels for cardiovascular health, and suggest that later in life these benefits could actually extend the years of remaining life,” said lead author Dariush Mozaffarian, associate professor in the Department of Epidemiology at Harvard School of Public Health.
“The biggest bang-for-your-buck is for going from no intake to modest intake, or about two servings of fatty fish per week,” said Mozaffarian.

AS one of the world’s most popular beverage drinks, does coffee really cause addiction? How much do healthcare providers know about coffee?
There are often several questions asked about the health effects or otherwise of coffee, and these came up yet again during the Ignite Stakeholders’ Parley last week in Lagos.
A group of academicians who championed the discourse on these and other issues surrounding coffee during the stakeholder’s forum , agreed that coffee is consumed for different reasons.
From hindsight, Ignite – a pan African educational project targeted at enlightening the public on the relationship between coffee and health – has organised series of enlightenment drives about the beverage.
Participants gathered that the Ignite programme which is essentially about knowing coffee and its composition, is designed to help consumers understand its effect on human health.
In response to the question, does coffee really cause addiction? Dr. Kemi Odukoya – Public Health Physician and Lecturer, Department of Community Health and Primary Care, College of Medicine, University of Lagos, says an emphativ NO.
According to her, the term “addiction” implies a compulsive and repeated use of a substance that poses a threat to physical, social and economic health.
“Mechanisms of action of caffeine are very different from that of drug abuse and they do not affect the brain circuit and structure for reward, motivation or addiction.
Further, Odukoya recalled that the American Psychiatric Association’s (APA) “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders cites no evidence for caffeine withdrawal and the World Health Organisation, WHO, has stated that there is no evidence whatsoever that caffeine use has even remotely comparable physical and social consequences associated with serious drugs of abuse.
She listed other health benefits associated with coffee intake to include: lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, dementia, increased mental alertness and i improved short-term memory among others.
“Coffee has numerous health benefits as evidenced by many recent peer reviewed scientific studies. Moderate amounts of coffee consumption may play an important role in maintaining our health,” Odukoya stated.
What makes coffee a healthy beverage? Asked Dr. Bartholomew Brai, a nutritionist, at the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research, NIMR, Yaba, Lagos. Brai. In his presentation entitled: “Coffee Side of Life” he sateed that coffee is naturally rich in antioxidants, mainly polyphenols from the chlorogenic acid family. “Do you know for a moderate coffee consumer, coffee is the highest source of antioxidants from the diet? He observed. Beneficial health effects of coffee is due to presence of anti-oxidants that protect against oxidation.
“Normal modern life exposes humans to many sources of oxidation. An excess of oxidative stress may induce a deregulation of the metabolism. “Antioxidants help fight free radicals and may protect our cells and tissues by turning harmful free radicals into neutral species by stimulating the production of our natural antioxidant defenses.

HEALTH benefits of sea food are often undermined, yet increased intake of crayfish, prawns, crab and shrimp, among others, helps minimise risk of heart attack, while promoting general good health.
Sea food contain essential elements, such as minerals, vitamins and fish oils. They are usually low in fat. Fish oils such as salmon or cod are very healthy.
They all contain Omega-3 – a key fatty acid known to help with heart health.
Confirming the benefits of sea food, the CEO, Sundry Foods Ltd., Mr. Ebele Enunwa, urged Nigerians to improve their health through consumption of health-giving sea food.
He spoke in Lagos at the opening of Coral Blue Seafood Restaurant. “I want to use this opportunity to appeal to Nigerians to do a proper audit of their food they eat and see what good or otherwise such do to them.
“I am advocating that every meal taken must contain seafood in one measure or the other. We want to encourage the culture of good health by eating right. Seafoods have many health benefits, including reducing chances of a heart attack.”
Coral Blue Seafood Restaurant, aims to offer exquisite seafood cuisines to fill in the gap in the casual dining segment of the food business in the country.
Seafood contains cholesterol, but is unlikely to have major impact on blood cholesterol. Fresh seafood is best, as frozen products may contain more sodium. Studies show marine Omega-3 can help protect the eyesight of those suffering from age-related macular degeneration – which causes blurred and fuzzy vision.
Crab, oysters and shellfish are high in protein and trace elements of selenium and chromium as well as calcium, copper and excellent levels of zinc. It has anti-inflammatory properties good for arthritis, it also reduces blood pressure. Selenium is a powerful antioxidant and trace mineral.
Sea foods contain copper that is vital for absorption, storage and metabolism of iron and formation of red blood cells.
The high levels of B2 may help ease migraines and phosphorus helps calcium build bones and teeth.

AS the public hearing of the revised 2012 National Health Bill got under way in at the National Assembly Abuja Monday February 12, expectations remained high among a wide section of Nigerians that the Senate will come up with a comprehensive new National Health Bill, NHB, that would realistically address basic primary health challenges in the country.
The original NHB was returned to the National Assembly in 2012 following failure of President Jonathan to sign it into law. Nigerians expect that, when eventually passed into law, the NHB, which provides frame work and strategies for effective planning, financing, governance, delivery, monitoring and evaluation of healthcare services in the country, is a veritable tool for positively transforming the Nigerian public health system.
The dream of all, is that the NHB would guarantee every Nigerian access to a minimum package of basic healthcare services including the provision of free medical care for children under five years of age, pregnant women, the elderly and people with disabilities, as well as guarantee funding for health at the primary healthcare level where over 70 percent of the nation’s disease burden can be addressed.
NMA seeks accelerated passage
Already, the Nigerian Medical Association, NMA, has urged the National Assembly to give the bill accelerated passage.
President of the NMA, Dr Osahon Enabulele, noted in Lagos, said Nigeria’s health system has been unable to meet expectations of the people for a robust and a qualitative healthcare delivery due to the absence of a legal and regulatory frame work to effectively and efficiently coordinate and manage Nigeria healthcare system.
Enebulele said failure to pass the Health Bill as soon as possible would further worsen overall health of Nigerians and limit access to healthcare services particularly at the primary healthcare level.
His words: “The National Health Bill substantially captures the legitimate aspirations of Nigerians for greatly improved access to quality healthcare services.
“The Bill seeks to ensure that no Nigerian, particularly the rural poor dies as a result of inability for him to pay healthcare services including medical care for emergencies, accident and gunshot injury victims.”
Further, Enabulele said passage of the NHB would address the issue of medical tourism which contributes to Nigeria losing over $500 million annually.
“The NHB 2012 is direly needed to reverse the trend of frequent and sometimes unnecessary foreign medical trips and make Nigeria a destination for medical tourism.
“It will also significantly help to address the inequitable distribution of health human resources as well as brain drain of health human resources in Nigeria’s health system.”
CSOs request removal of contentious sections
But in its own contribution, the coalition of Civil Societies Organisations, CSOs, of Nigeria wants the National Assembly to expunge what they described as offensive sections of the 2008 NHB that that are replicated in the new National health bill 2012.
Spokesperson for the CSO, Barrister Sonnie Ekwowusi noted that except the contentious sections were removed, the NHB may not achieve its ultimate goal of providing adequate health care for all Nigerians.
“It is a big scandal that in a country where uncountable Nigerians are dying owing to inaccessibility to basic primary care, legislators are sponsoring a bill to legalise the exploitation and trafficking in human eggs, embryos, embryonic stem cell research, therapeutic and reproductive cloning,” he noted in a statement.
Ekwowusi alleged that the section in question gives the Minister of Health unbridled powers to grant life to human embryos, harvest human eggs and sperms and even do business with them.
Calling for an open public debate or discussion on the bill, he said trafficking in human eggs, embryos and embryonic stem cell research has become a multibillion dollar business worldwide. “Therefore if Nigeria goes ahead and legalizes it, it will be very difficult to control or regulate considering ineffective Police system, judicial checks and regulatory policies.
“Rather than chase shadows, the National Assembly, Federal Ministry of Health and Minister of Health, should, pursuant to Section 17 of the Federal Constitution, concentrate efforts in overhauling the country’s healthcare system in order to improve the medical facilities in the hospitals, save billions squandered in medical treatment abroad every year, avoid untimely deaths from diseases and prevent high infant mortality and maternal mortality rates,” Ekwowusi remarked.

MEDICAL experts have said periodic immunisation is not enough to eradicate polio and other preventable child killer diseases, even as the next round of National Immunisation Plus Days, NIPDs, is scheduled to begin nationwide in February.
Speaking, Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris, said routine immunisation was more sustainable in the fight against polio.
According to him: “This periodic exercise is not the best and that is why our target is routine immunisation, because you don’t necessarily have to wait for periodic exercise before you take your children for immunisation.
“Routine immunisation is more practical and standard. It is necessary for children to be immunised as at when due without waiting for periodic exercise and that is why we have immunisation schedule on our leaflets.”
Idris noted that to maintain a polio free state, efforts were on to strengthen “routine immunisation which is more sustainable and cost effective than the periodic campaigns.”
Meantime, no fewer than 4,376,609 children under the ages of 0 – five years, are to be immunised in Lagos during the NIDs exercise billed to hold February 2-5, 2013.
Idris explained that the exercise was aimed at reducing and eliminating vaccine preventable diseases, including polio.
He said already the state had sourced about five million doses of oral polio vaccine through the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency.
The commissioner urged parents and care-givers to ensure that their children were taken to primary health care centres, PHCs, to receive all scheduled immunisations before they were one year old.
He said polio “is a viral disease and it is transmitted through contaminated food and water. Many infected persons have no symptoms, but they excrete the virus in their faeces which other people can be contract through contamination.”

Some dermatologists on Monday in Lagos, said Shea butter was a possible cure for stretch marks and other skin problems.
They said in separate interviews that Shea butter could also be used to improve skin conditions.
Dr Ayesha Akinkugbe, Consultant Dermatologist and Genito-urinary Physician, Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Idi-Araba, Lagos, said Shea butter was a cream-colored fatty substance made from the nuts of Karite nut trees.
Akinkugbe said most creams were extracted from the natural raw Shea butter, adding that unrefined one was the best kind of skin cream.
She said that Karite trees or Shea trees, were not cultivated, but grown only in the wild, and could take up to 50 years to mature.
“Shea butter is particularly effective moisturiser because it contains so many fatty acids which are needed to retain skin moisture and elasticity.
“The high fatty acid content in it also makes it a major additive to soap, shampoos, anti-aging creams, cosmetics, lotions and massage oil.
“Its soft, butter-like texture melts readily into the skin and helps protect the skin from harmful Utra-Violet (UV) or sun rays,” she said.
Another dermatologist, Dr Eunice Uzor, said that raw Shea butter could protect the skin from both the environmental and free-radical damages.
Uzor said the butter naturally contained vitamins A, E and F.
“Vitamin A and E which consist of anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties that balance and normalise the skin.
“Vitamin F consists of essential fatty acids which work to soften and revitalise dry skin.
“It can be used as an all-natural hair conditioner, moisturiser and make-up remover or as a treatment for all skin problems.
“Shea butter may also help to treat skin problems such as stretch marks, minor scars, sores, chapped hands and lips, sunburn, eczema, rashes and so on,” she said.
Uzor said that it could also diminish wrinkles by moisturising the skin and promoting cell renewal.
She said that due to high demand, many producers added other ingredients to cut cost and it could alter the benefits.
Uzor, however, advised people to consult the physicians or dermatologists about serious or persistent skin problems for proper treatment.

“We should keep talking about cancer. The prediction is that HIV and all the other infections will reduce while cancer is increasing. We need more awareness.”
Such was the comment of Dr. Kin J-Egwuonwu, National Coordinator, National Cancer Prevention Programme, NCPP, during the recent breast cancer and cervical cancer screening carried out for 10,000 women in Surulere local government area of Lagos State.
Egwuonu who lamented the alarming incidence of cancer in the country, said: “We need to increase awareness about cancer screening so that people will go for screening at the right time and not wait. People are really dying untimely deaths unnecessarily, and at a young age. People need to take their health seriously.
“Cancer is the number one killer of mankind, and in today’s world one in every three persons is diagnosed with cancer,” notes Egwuonwu.
About 100,000 Nigerians are diagnosed with cancer annually, and about 80,000 die (10 deaths every hour). The Nigerian cancer death ratio (4 : 5) compares unfavourably with other nations. Most of these deaths can be prevented, through awareness, early detection and first-class treatment.
On the outcome of the screening exercise, Egwuonu opined that those who participated had been better infoirmed about the precautions to take with cancer as well as where to go to seek help.
“We had people that were positive, we had abnormanl cervical cases, there were breast problems, lumps, and other complications. This was combined with eye screening, to encourage the screening and of course because the eye is also important and vulnerable to cancer.
“There were many people with glaucoma at advanced stages, which means they did not know because glaucoma is silent and the affecetd person may go blind in one eye before noticing it. There were also people with growths in the eye that were not cancerous.
“Many women had changes in the cervix. Usually about 4 out of 100 womwn will be positive for cervical cancer, but incidence for breast cancer is higher. It was not surprising we found those changes.”
Noting that Nigeria currently has no comprehensive cancer centre, Nigerians are compelled to spend over $200 million annually on treatment abroad, he lamented the lack of facilities to treat cancer in Nigeria, especially at the end stage.
“People have no option other than to go abroad. They travel and still die. In sharp contrast, India has over 120 cancer centres, mostly established through non-governmental effort, with private sector support.
Further, Egwuonu said for women, screening for should begin from the age of 18 and should be yearly, because the aim is to catch changes early for easy treatment.
He said when caught early, breast and cervical cancer are easily treatable and the treatment would not be too expensive. Also the chances of survival is higher and there wouldn’t be a need to go abroad. There are other cancers that also kill and are not commonsuch as colorectal cancer that kills about 4,000 yearly.
“It is still significant and detectable through colonoscopy. Though screenings, and some of the cases can be treated with cryotherapy and the cancer is not likely to progress, we need good facilities.
“A cancer care centre would provide all this including early detection, and resection. Each type of cancer has the early stage that can be treated (polyp). What we have in Nigeria is not the best for treating the early stages, that is awhy we need the comprehensive cancer centre. We need sophisticated equipment to detect the early stages.”
Egwuonu said the Port Harcourt Cancer Centre,PHCC, a non-profit, non-governmental initiative of the NCPP, has a goal to set up a comprehensive cancer centre in each of Nigeria’s six zones, with the PHCC in the South-South as the first of the six.

Hajiya Jummai Hassan, a nutritionist with the Wuse General Hospital, Abuja, has said that wheat bread had high fibre content and was good for adults and children.
Hassan on Wednesday said that children, adults and old people could eat wheat bread.
She, however, said that whole wheat bread was particularly recommended for diabetics and people who suffered from obesity.
“When you are choosing bread, for a healthy living, you don’t have to be diabetic or you don’t have to have high cholesterol before you take wheat bread.
“I believe wheat bread should be for everybody. We all need high fibre, why I am recommending wheat bread or the whole wheat bread is because it is has low glycemic index, that is it has very high in fibre.
“Even the kids they can take either wheat or whole wheat, any of the two.
“It doesn’t have to be the white bread; except you have low concentration of sugar and you feel ok let me boost it up, you can take the white bread.
“Every other person cannot do without the white bread but we should alternate it with the wheat bread.
“A diabetic patient cannot take white bread because if he takes white bread his sugar level will shoot up because it has high concentration of sugar.”
Low glycemic index foods can help you lose weight and maintain a healthy body weight.
It also reduces the risk of heart disease and its risk factors like high cholesterol.
Hassan said wheat bread was also recommended for people who had constipation as it would help move the bowels.
She, however, said that people who had celiac disease should refrain from eating wheat bread or any other bread except it was clearly stated gluten free bread.
She explained that gluten was a type of protein commonly found in wheat.
According to PubMed Health Journal, celiac disease is a condition that damages the lining of the small intestine and prevents it from absorbing foods that are important for staying healthy.
The damage is due to a reaction to eating gluten, which is found in wheat, rye barley, and possibly oats.
She advised that from the age of 35 years, people should be conscious of their diet and change to a more healthy diet.
“The more we advance in age, 35 to 40 years that is when you change your eating habit.
“You don’t have to have any of the metabolic disorders before I say ok let me change my eating habit, no.
“You and I have to change our own eating habit; we cut down so many things and go back to the whole wheat and the low glycemic index foods, which is vital and more healthier.”
