Aflatoxin is one of the most common mold toxins. The shit is highly toxic and makes stuff like cyanide look healthy. It sucks big time because it is not only poisonous, it also gags the white blood cells and makes people susceptible to bacteria and virusses. Also, it stays in the body for a long time because teh liver has a hard time getting rid of it.

It's also in "healthy" florida orange juice, bread, and nuts. Bake your own bread, I do. Cold cereals are worst, hot cereals like cream of wheat contain almost no mycotoxins, so better eat those. It's hard to kill too. Boiling won't kill it. Vitamin C in high conentrations may reduce it, but better not eat it at all.
