We appreciate WSU for the study. It was something that people talked about but needed scientific study to confirm the claim. Its going be fascinating to see the publication and the recommendations of the study.

We can teach them one or two things about fungus, throw it into boiling water, cook it for about 15 minutes and it will be dead. By the time we eat pap fungus is history.

Maize meal is our staple food, should we stop eating because we stock 80kg to feed our big families.

That university needs to be shut down asap

Really Just that For the whole decade!!!

Cost of living increases everyday, low income and unemployment is crumbling our economy and our society. The best way to defeat this is getting extra income by investing in Crypto and stocks. Invest with a legitimate source and avoid getting CONNED. Invest with mellisarussel

Pretty common. Do you need a university to study for 10 yrs a daily occurrence in every home. Wasted resources !!!
