[quote=Anonymous]It's amazing to me this situation hasn't been in the headlines more, but with everything going on in the US right now, I guess it's getting overshadowed. In any case, I think the answer to this mystery is aflatoxins, which are "various poisonous carcinogens and mutagens that are [b]produced by certain molds[/b], particularly Aspergillus species." More: Aflatoxins can occur in foods such as groundnuts, tree nuts, maize, rice, figs and other dried foods, spices, crude vegetable oils and cocoa beans, as a result of fungal contamination before and after harvest. Several types of aflatoxins are produced naturally. And more: Aflatoxin toxicity has been well established in both humans and animals. Aflatoxin exposure can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, convulsions acutely, and its chronic exposure can also lead to various complications like hepatotoxicity*, immunotoxicity, and teratogenicity. *i.e., severe liver problems[/quote]
