There has been an ongoing debate regarding the potential health benefits of incorporating paraffin into school meals, with some conspiracy theories suggesting that it enhances the flavor of the food.
Research indicates that the inclusion of kerosene in diets may contribute to an increase in sexual desire, potentially leading to a surge in teenage pregnancies, a prevalent issue in the country.
Furthermore, kerosene has been linked to adverse effects such as abdominal pains, ulcers, and gastritis.
A study titled “Effects of Crude Kerosene on Testosterone Levels” refutes the belief that using kerosene can help control sexual urges, particularly among boarding school students. The research reveals that students are inadvertently exposed to kerosene as a dietary supplement without their consent.
The study elaborates on how serum testosterone levels, influenced by kerosene exposure, can impact the enlargement of reproductive organs, sperm production, the frequency of erections, and the growth of nipples and pubic hair.
The research suggests that these findings may offer insights into the rising numbers of teenage pregnancies, rebellion, and violence, emphasizing the need for further examination of the potential health risks associated with the inadvertent consumption of kerosene in school meals.
