Peanuts
Oh, here goes America's most favorite snack. First, let me clear up some misconception here. Peanut is not a nut it's a legume, a very moldy one too. Peanuts contain what is called aflatoxin. Aflatoxin is a proven carcinogen that causes liver and other cancers. It is a mycotoxin and is produced by Aspergillus type molds. It has been discovered that the most moldiest of peanuts were contaminated with aflatoxin by as much as 300 times more than government standards allow. Not surprisingly the highest reading was in the peanut butter products.
You see at the food factories peanuts are hand picked and the good looking one's go into your chocolate candies and oils, but the moldiest ones are sent out to turn them into peanut butter. And who is the biggest peanut butter consumer in this country? That's right our children. Please do not allow yourself, your souse of your children to eat or even smell peanuts and especially peanut butter. Of the 23 fungal toxins tested for carcinogenicity, 14 are positive (61%). The mutagenic mold toxin, aflatoxin, which is found in peanuts and corn, interacts with chronic hepatitis infection in human liver cancer development i.e., there is a synergistic effect
in the human liver between aflatoxin and the hepatitis B, in the induction of liver cancer. Aflatoxin also induced liver tumors in cynomolgus and rhesus monkeys. Biomarker measurements of aflatoxin in populations in Africa and China, which have high rates of hepatitis B and C and liver cancer, confirm that those populations are chronically exposed to high levels of aflatoxin.
