Resumen de Cognitive Effects of Konzo
Konzo, an irreversible neuromotor disorder in children that has been linked to ingestion of bitter cassava root, a staple food in sub-Saharan Africa, also undermines cognitive function, even in those with no physical symptoms of the disease, report researchers from Michigan State University, East Lansing (Boivin MJ et al. Pediatrics. 2013;131[4]:e1231-e1239).
Improperly prepared bitter cassava root has been linked to a neuromotor disorder called konzo and also may impair cognitive function.
