Is peanut butter poison es

Answer 1

Peanuts are susceptible to fungal infections, particularly by Aspergillus flavus, a fungus that produces aflatoxin. A known carcinogen that is twenty times more toxic than DDT, aflatoxin has also been linked to intellectual disabilities. A. flavus grows when the temperature is between 86-96°F and when the humidity is high. Improved storage and handling methods, along with USDA inspection, have virtually eliminated the risk of consuming aflatoxin in the US. If you purchase raw peanuts, ensure that they have been stored in a dry, cool environment. Roasted peanuts are thought to offer more protection against aflatoxin, plus roasting peanuts improves their digestibility and antioxidant content.
