What foods at home are "health killers" lurking around us?

Aflatoxin is the most toxic and carcinogenic mycotoxin found so far. Aflatoxin and its producing bacteria are almost ubiquitous in nature, and most likely appear in your food. Once people eat food by mistake, they will have symptoms such as fever, vomiting and edema. If they eat too much, they will have acute hepatitis, gastrointestinal bleeding, ascites and renal failure. If measures are not taken in time, it may even lead to death. Let's share with you what foods at home are "health killers" lurking around us.

1. Soaking auricularia auricula for a long time will mold the components of auricularia auricula and cause aflatoxin. Therefore, it is recommended not to soak fungus for a long time at home. It is best to eat as much as possible and eat it on the same day.

2. Peanuts are very sensitive to aflatoxin, especially when peanuts regain their moisture. Once the peanuts are moldy, it is useless to wash them. You must throw them away at once and never take them away again.

3. Corn is also prone to mildew and aflatoxin pollution, especially in rainy season. This is because the germ of corn is large in size and rich in sugar, and it is easy to be polluted by aflatoxin under cold and humid conditions. If there is light green aflatoxin or damage on the surface of corn, it is likely to be contaminated by aflatoxin, so choose carefully before buying.

4. Dried fruit Once the dried fruit is mildewed, it may also lead to aflatoxin. Aflatoxin is spread in the form of seeds, so when taking dried fruit ingredients such as sunflower seeds, sweet almonds and walnuts, if there is bitterness, you must spit it out immediately and rinse your mouth.

5. In the process of acquisition and storage, cereal crops such as rice and millet mobile phones are also likely to be moldy and contaminated by aflatoxin, so we must be vigilant. If you don't pick out the moldy particles, it is very easy to swallow them by mistake and eat endotoxin into your stomach.

6. Self-squeezing oil has great security risks. Some people like to buy cooking oil squeezed by farmhouses, such as peanut oil, rapeseed oil and cooking oil. But they don't know that self-extracting oil is also a major safety hazard of aflatoxin pollution. On the one hand, the moldy raw materials were not picked out immediately, or the oil press equipment was not cleaned for a long time, which led to moldy. On the other hand, the small processing plant of Nongjiale has simple processing technology, which can not completely remove harmful substances from raw materials, and it is easy to cause aflatoxin to exceed the standard.

We can't afford aflatoxin, but we can afford to hide it. In daily life, in order to reduce the risk of aflatoxin poisoning, we should carefully distinguish whether the food is spoiled or moldy when buying food, so as to avoid eating it by mistake and affecting our health.
