Amafutha esundu asezindebeni zawo wonke umuntu, kokubili ngoba asiyeki ukukhuluma ngawo, futhi ngoba siwadla ngobuningi “bokudla” okwenziwe. Lapha sikutshela ukuthi yini i- izizathu zokumgcina ekude nemindeni yethu, kepha isinqumo ngesakho.
Ake sikucacise lokho amafutha amaningi emifino kanye namafutha ngokwawo awalimazi empilweni. Kepha ukusetshenziswa kwamafutha esundu ikakhulukazi kuhlotshaniswa nengozi eyengeziwe yokuhlushwa yizifo ezahlukahlukene ezingathandeki, njengesifo sikashukela.
Ungawatholaphi futhi kanjani uwoyela wesundu
Amafutha la Ikhiqizwa ngezithelo zesundu se-Afrika, isihlahla sesundu esingapheli esingaphila iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-100 esimweni saso semvelo, kodwa ekusetshenzisweni kwayo okukhiqizayo cishe singafinyeleli eminyakeni engama-25. Amafutha esundu Ama-85% aqhamuka e-Indonesia naseMalaysia. Amanye amazwe athumela amafutha esundu yiPapua New Guinea, iColombia, iThailand, iCambodia, iBrazil, iMexico kanye neNtshonalanga Afrika.
Kusukela ngoDisemba 2014 i-European Union idinga lokho kwilebula lokudla ngakunye gwema inkulumo ethi "uwoyela wemifino". Imvelaphi yalawo mafutha namafutha kufanele icaciswe ekubhalisweni. Kodwa-ke, ngemuva komthetho, wenza isicupho, futhi ungakuthola kubhalwe kanjena kumalebula: uwoyela wesundu kernel, amafutha emifino aqhekekile nama-hydrogenated we-palm kernel, i-palm stearin, i-palmolein noma i-olein yesundu, ibhotela lesundu noma ukusebenzisa igama usosayensi wezinhlobo (Elaeis guineensis).
Amafutha esundu atholakala kumakhukhi amaningi, okusanhlamvu, amakhekhe, amakhekhe, imajarini, kanye nokosa okwe-dessert; amasaka amazambane nokudla okulula okunosawoti; ukudla okulungiselelwe okubandayo nokubandayo; ushokoledi kanye nezinsini. Abanye brand ukuthi iningi lisebenzisa lesi sithako yi-Unilever, Nestlé, Kellogg's, Burger King, McDonalds, Starbucks noma iFerrero, phakathi kwabanye.
Ngaphandle kokusetshenziswa kokudla, okususelwa kuwoyela wesundu kusetshenziswa izimonyo, ekukhiqizeni okhilimu, izithambisi zezinwele, umuthi wokuxubha noma insipho. Futhi ekukhiqizeni i-biodiesel.
Imiphumela yezempilo
Ingozi kawoyela wesundu ivela kokuqukethwe kwayo okuphezulu kwamafutha agcwele (50%), okwandisa ubungozi isifo senhliziyo noma isifo sohlangothi, ngaphezu kwesisindo. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, inkinga iza nokucwengisiswa kwayo, futhi lokho ukuthi ukukhansela ukunambitheka kwayo nephunga layo lemvelo, kufanele lifakwe emazingeni okushisa angaphezu kwama-degree angama-200, akhishwayo izinhlanganisela ezibanga umdlavuza futhi lokho kulimaza umucu we-DNA. Kodwa-ke, izinkampani eziyimaketha zikhiphe imibiko eyahlukahlukene lapho zikhomba khona ukuthi inqubo yezimboni abayisebenzisayo inciphisa ukubukeka kwalezi zingcolisi.
Into enhle ukuthi i-US Comprehensive Natural Medicines Database iyibeka njenge "Kungenzeka ngempumelelo ekuvimbeleni ukuntuleka kukavithamini A" Ngokufaka uwoyela wesundu ekudleni kwabesifazane abakhulelwe nezingane emazweni asathuthuka, unganciphisa ubungozi bokuthola ukushoda kukavithamini A.
Cishe akunakwenzeka ukuyisusa ekudleni kwethu, okuwukuphela kwento esingayenza ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwayo ngokubheka nokunaka kakhulu ukufakwa ilebula yalokho esikuthengayo.
Amafutha esundu nemvelo
Ukukhiqizwa kukawoyela wesundu nakho kunethonya elikhulu kabi emvelweni, ngoba kubangela okubalulekile ukulahleka kwemvelo. Ama-monoculture anomthelela omkhulu ezindaweni ezishisayo futhi asusa izinhlobo eziningi zezitshalo, izitshalo nezilwane ezijwayelekile zalezo zindawo. FUTHIZihlobene kakhulu nokugawulwa kwamahlathi. Kubalulekile ukuphawula ubudlova besundu lase-Afrika emhlabathini elinywe kuwo, ulishiye lingenamsoco kungakapheli iminyaka eyishumi.
Njengokungathi lokho bekunganele, ukukhiqizwa kukawoyela wesundu kuveza i- ukukhishwa kwenani elikhulu le-CO2 emkhathini, ngaleyo ndlela kwandise umphumela wokushisa.
Amafutha esundu akuyona ukuphela kwengozi ekudleni kwethu, nayi i isihloko ngaphezu kokunye ukudla okungenamsoco.
