1. The ‘Cassava Cyanide Diseases & Neurolathyrism Network’ (CCDNN) is a free worldwide network aiming to eliminate cyanide poisoning, konzo, tropical ataxic neuropathy (TAN) and neurolathyrism. The CCDN Network has nearly 700 members worldwide from 60 countries and is free. If you wish to join...
  2. 1/1/1986 This is a study in Mozambique on dietary cyanide exposure. 52 pages, illustrations, photos
  3. 25/1/2016 Algunos cultivos tropicales contienen glucósidos cianógenos, sustancias tóxicas que liberan ácido cianhídrico (HCN, también conocido como cianuro o ácido prúsico) cuando se trituran las células. Consumir estas plantas sin cocinarlas puede causar envenenamiento por cianuro, causando efectos...
  4. 1/10/2005 In Cassava Cyanide Diseases News (CCDN), Issue 4,December 2004, Dr. J. Howard Bradbury wrote about a method of processing cassava that could substantially reduce the cyanide content of flour.
  5. 20/11/2015 Some tropical crops contain cyanogenic glycosides, toxic substances that release hydrocyanic acid (HCN; also referred to as cyanide) when cells are crushed. Consuming these plants without cooking them can cause cyanide poisoning, with varying effects depending on cyanide levels and how long a...
  6. 1/1/2014 Recientemete leímos correspondencia de Penny Rambacher, R.D., una dietista registrada que trabaja con Miracles in Action en Guatemala. Hace alrededor de ocho años, el Presidente de ECHO en ese entonces, Dr. Martin Price, sugirió a Penny que la reintroducción de la chaya podría ser una manera...

  8. 20/7/2003 En respuesta a los artículos sobre concentrado de proteína de hoja y sobre la chaya en la Edición 78 de EDN, un lector preguntó si el concentrado de proteína de hoja (LPC por sus siglas en inglés) podría o no podría obtenerse en forma segura de la chaya.
  9. 19/7/1992 Dr. Rosling does not like the statement “cassava contains cyanide.” A food that contained pure hydrogen cyanide could be easily detoxified (it would be driven off as a gas by cooking). If any free cyanide is present in cassava, it can easily be driven off into the air by temperatures over 28C (82...
  10. Cassava is a staple food for over 800 million people in approximately 80 countries, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa, but also in Asia, the Pacific and South America. Cassava contains cyanogens, which protect against pests and predators by producing cyanide. So-called bitter varieties produce more...
