    Kwahu Aduamoa and nearby towns can supply tons of atadwe. Rural Development: Government should, then, facilitate setting up cottage industries for this.

    Nice to know this, but a calorie count would also have been good, and what is at least the minimun quantity one should consume in a day? As for ghanaian officials and giving half information and never all.

    MEANWHILE IS THE SPECIAL FUNCTION OF "CHARGING THE MALE BATTERY" ONLY A FALLACY ?

  • Thomas 10 years ago

    No. There is some truth in this unsubstantiated health claim. The arginine, vitamin E and some trace elements like zinc, chromium and copper content in excess of the Recommended Daily Allowance may be used to proof this.
