[Title] => DOH: Bohol poisoning due to pesticide, not cyanide
[Summary] => Pesticide, rather than cyanide, was the lethal ingredient in the snacks that killed 28 grade school children in a remote town in Bohol last week.
Health Secretary Manuel Dayrit ruled out natural cyanide in the poisoning of more than 100 children that ate sweets made from cassava flour during their school recess.
A root crop cultivated across the country, cassava contains toxic levels of cyanide. Food processing, such as cooking, reduces the cyanide to harmless levels.
