Doctors told me to cut down on catfish intake to help reduce iodine in my system - Kofi Jumah

The Managing Director of GIHOC Distilleries Limited, Maxwell Kofi Jumah has said when he recently got sick and was examined by doctors in the United States of America (USA), it was revealed that he had excess iodine in his system.

This, according to him, was attributed to too much eating of catfish, which he said the doctors said contained iodine.

He said that was one of the diagnosis he was given when he felt sick recently and went for a routine medical examination in the United States.

Speaking on Okay FM's morning show, Ade Akye Abia with Kwame Nkrumah Tikese on Monday morning [Sept 30, 2024], Mr Jumah said the doctors have advised him to cut down on his consumption of catfish.

But he has personally decided to stop eating it.

He was speaking to the radio station on political issues and when he was about ending the conversation, he informed the host about his love for catfish and why he was now staying away from it.

Mr Jumah said he was regaining his strength after the illness and has also become vociferous again on political issues as the Kofi Jumah of old, the former Member of Parliament for Asokwa and former Kumasi mayor said.
