What Is Aflaxtoxin and Is It Dangerous?

Aflatoxins are carcinogens that come from a naturally occurring mold found on

foodstuffs. Aflaxtoxin is a myco-toxin that is produced by two types of

mold: Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. Aspergillus flavus is

common and widespread in nature. Aflatoxin can contaminate virtually any grain,

fruit or vegetable that has been stored in conditions permitting the growth of

mold. Peanuts are especially vulnerable.

In 1965, the USDA set standards for acceptable levels of aflatoxin in

peanuts. Every peanut sheller is required by the USDA to have every lot of

peanuts

tested by a government-approved lab prior to shipping. Any that are found to

be in excess of 20 parts per billion (ppb) are not allowed for sale through

channels for human consumption.

If you are exposed to small amounts of mycotoxins over an extended period of

time, you can suffer from a wide range of health problems ranging from cancer

to heart disease to asthma, multiple sclerosis, and diabetes. If you take in

large quantities over a short period of time, mycotoxins can be lethal. When

you consider aflatoxin's serious risks, and how much peanut butter your

child consumes, why wouldn't you choose the purest peanut butter available?

I would soak all my fruit in a natural soap, or natural apple cider vingar

by Braggs, I use Miracle II Soap or Sunshine Concentrate. I also use a product

like Yeast ,Fungal Detox or Caprylic acid, it has anti-fungal properties

This is, what makes Coconut oil work.I always rotate products with Pau d’arco

it

does not develop fungus growth, it has a chemical called lapachol, which may

account for the herb’s traditional use in strengthening and supporting the

immune system..

Ps do not use a microwave, it changes the structure of food.

Jeff,

Someone mentioned in another Group the possibility of dried fruit

having fungus. I never thought of that and I do consume lots of

dried fruit (organic). If this is the case does any one have a

suggestion of a way of zapping the fruits to ensure that any mould

is killed? I do not have a microwave. I imagine that cooking them

on a low heat with a bit of water but I would have to attain boiling

point and destroy all the nutrients and enzymes in the process. Any

suggestions?

Regards

Joanne
