Drinking garri (processed cassava flakes mixed with water) is common in many African countries, but its effects on health depend on how often and in what quantity it is consumed.

Benefits of Drinking Garri

✔ Energy Boost – Garri is rich in carbohydrates, providing quick energy.
✔ Affordable & Filling – A cheap and easy-to-prepare food.
✔ Source of Fiber – Helps with digestion (especially when not overly processed).

Potential Health Risks of Excessive Garri Consumption

❌ Cyanide Content – Poorly processed cassava contains cyanogenic compounds that may lead to poisoning if consumed excessively.
❌ Eye Problems – High cyanide levels can contribute to vision issues over time.
❌ Weight Gain – Since garri is mostly carbohydrates, too much can lead to weight gain.
❌ Acidity & Ulcers – Drinking too much garri, especially on an empty stomach, can irritate the stomach lining.
