According to her, this myth is not backed by fact nor sciencific evidence. In an interview with GhanaWeb on the back on World Milk Day celebration, Helen Nti averred that, “As far as I know, it is not scientific that we take cashew and some minutes after that you take milk, you are going to die. She explained that sometimes it is important to combine such foods as a complete meal for vegetarians because cashew is rich in plant protein whereas milk on the other hand is rich in animal protein. Every June 1, World Milk Day is celebrated globally to recognize the importance of milk as a global food.
