I still believe was a type of poisonous tree called "Zhi Zchar" very very exact like changku manis leaves. I never believe changku manis will cause ppl to die!!!!<br /><br />My late mum if living today, she was 100 to be exact, she knew such news.. She even told me, why her whole life eating the cangkut manis, and her so many friends lived through .. nothing happened.. She told me the real plants and even showed me in the rubber gardens a lot of those :Zhi Char trees or plants... really I saw them vvv exact..!Dewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456082603495973748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4345225425799603966.post-81500118226083973232016-03-19T00:58:26.576-07:002016-03-19T00:58:26.576-07:00Tapioca is harmless if boiled enuf.

However, many poor countries in Africa take tapioca has ZERO percentage in cancer rates!!!<br /><br />As God created nature, never eat too much in a time.. Cheers...eat fully cooked food.<br /><br />For kuih made from Tapioca, I believe due to bacteria on hot weather. Even other food will cause food poisoning on hot days! <br />Dewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456082603495973748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4345225425799603966.post-29248986030187420322016-03-17T13:08:05.016-07:002016-03-17T13:08:05.016-07:00- Tapioca is very toxic plant by nature ( so is th...- Tapioca is very toxic plant by nature ( so is the Changko Nanis ) -- The leaves could be taken as a veg. """ But """ , must be cooked or fermented . The juices from the leaves is toxic, no insect want to chew the leaves. Like wise, the roots ( tapioca ) when still attach to the plant, also produce toxin. No rats, wild boar would ever eat the tapioca twice. When cooking the tapioca, the skin must be REMOVED to avoid food poisoning. When fungus developed on the tapioca, do not take that - very toxic -----------<br />Like · Reply · 5 hrs · Edited<br />Joseph Kong<br />Joseph Kong ------ I studied poisonous plants and flowers and seeds and roots.<br />Like · Reply · 5 hrs<br />Ann Chin<br />Ann Chin thanks, Joseph. much appreciated.<br />Like · Reply · 2 mins<br />Ann Chin<br />Write a reply...<br /><br />Joseph Kong<br />Joseph Kong ------------- Some years back, Sabah exported young Chango Manis shoots to Taiwan. Taiwanese didn't know how to cook the plant. Instead it was blended and taken raw as a weight loss food. The result, a few deaths and many seriously ill.

Then boil until tender. There is a variety that is poisonous. Yes, a family made chips & their Dad experienced stomaches & tingling in the tongue & dizziness.<br />Since you got it from the store, I think it is safe.Ann, Chen Jie Xue 陈洁雪https://www.blogger.com/profile/04399207312968010460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4345225425799603966.post-19238188357156238962016-03-11T01:54:13.816-08:002016-03-11T01:54:13.816-08:00Reb Lee Yes, we call food poisoning in Malaysia, n...Reb Lee Yes, we call food poisoning in Malaysia, not in detail. Many times students in canteen ate the Tapioca kuih, all had vomiting . My ex helper from Philippines told me that she stopped taking Tapioca for 20 years as 1/2 of her Kampong folks died after eaten the Tapioca -- they eat that daily instead of rice for the poor families. A dietitian said in the newspaper that we have to soak the Tapioca after peeling it. thanks goodness that I thought it was like the potato or sweet potato would become brownish. So, no troubles for me at all. Reb<br />Ann, Chen Jie Xue 陈洁雪https://www.blogger.com/profile/04399207312968010460noreply@blogger.com
