Part 3/7:
While advocating for a diet rich in wholesome foods, it's also vital to consider what we might inadvertently consume that could be harmful. A particular concern is aflatoxins, toxic compounds produced by molds found in certain grains and nuts when improperly stored. These toxins can accumulate over time, posing serious health risks, including liver cancer.
Moreover, a wide range of everyday foods—from cereals to bread—can be affected by mold, especially when stored in warm and humid conditions. If grains and nuts are a staple in your diet, sourcing them from trusted vendors and avoiding discolored or shriveled products can help mitigate this risk.
