“Enough is enough”: Juice CEO urges Ghanaians to prioritize health amidst diet-related deaths

The CEO of Demih’s Natural fruit juice, Mr. Emmanuel Demiah has issued a strong call to action, urging Ghanaians to urgently prioritize the health implications of their dietary choices and demanding immediate steps to address the problem of premature deaths linked to poor diets. He made the appeal during the launch of Demish Natural Fruit Juice. Mr. Emmanuel Demiah emphasized the critical need for consumers to scrutinize the drinks they consume, emphasizing that unchecked intake can be fatal. He stressed the importance of verifying the origins, health impacts, and regulatory approvals of beverages. “We urge Ghanaians not to just take in anything without checking its background. It’s very important that they consider their safety first. We are tired of the frequent deaths due to the bad intake of food, drinks etc,” Mr Emmanuel stated passionately. He further suggested that many drinks currently available on the Ghanaian market are dangerous and have contributed to numerous deaths.

Echoing Mr. Emmanuel Demiah concerns, some Ghanaians have voiced alarm over the potentially harmful nature of many beverages marketed as energy boosters. Several women reported experiencing adverse health effects, attributing illnesses like gonorrhea and white to the consumption of certain drinks. They called on the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) to conduct thorough market inspections and eliminate all hazardous and spoiled beverages.
