Re: Finnish study on trichothecenes, zealarones and ochratoxin A in cereal

[Guest guest]

So now we become anorexic as the meat has prions and the cereal has mold. Yikes.

I've attached this study. It's in pdf format. 78 pages. No more cereal for me. Who's inspecting the grain that comes to cereal and bread processing plants? Who determines whether it's too moldy to eat?

Who is going to be willing to dump it and lose their money?

I could not get the study. I even searched Pubmed using different

keywords. Can you supply me the authors, publication (date, volume

and pages) and the publisher.

It is not unusual to get mold exposure in the air and also by diet.

The USDA allows a certain PPBs of say Ochratoxin A in coffee,

chocolate, nuts, etc. I have always had a sneaking suspision that

some vitims of oxic mold exposure in water damaged buildings also

have some dietary exposure if they eat certain foods. A good

example: Eat old fashioned brwon rice that takes 45 minutes to

cook. the parboiled variety has a greater chance of toxin production

No, I think one thing we CAN do is to eat things that we know are fresh or living - like seeds that can be sprouted, vegetables that are certified fresh. If we eat processed foods, we are relying on someone else to tell us that something that has so many preservatives that it can last 10 years on the shelf is good for us! Or maybe it is full of mold, but the preservatives hold it at bay until . . . .

I know what you mean. No beef for me. Not unless they devise a test for every steer or cow that enters the food chain. Anyway, some prions can take 40 years to become active! No one knows enough about this to declare with any certitude that beef is safe to eat.

In a way, I wish I hadn't started doing this research. It is a real eye opener, but, one has to think that if one entire side of one's family has all passed away from various kinds of cancer (not just one kind), there has to be some environmental reason. And it wasn't just something like lung cancer in a bunch of smokers. It was uterine, skin, brain, kidney, pancreas and liver! Scary, but better to try to figure it out now rather than be overcome with no resources, I think.
