A woman over 50 years old (Taiwan, China) had to receive a "death sentence" of liver cancer for mistakes when saving her food.According to her, from small to large never drink a drop of wine, never smoking.About 6 years ago, she discovered that she had diabetes and from there tried to live healthier.
In the past two months, she often felt tired, her skin was completely dull, often anorexia.Sometimes she felt pain in the upper right abdomen, the fever persistent at night.Given that these discomfort was due to severe diabetes, she decided to go to the hospital for examination.Unexpectedly, the doctor advised her to check the liver and detect cancer.

Wang Weidi (Taiwan, China) is the one who treats her.He said:“Patients do not have hepatitis, cirrhosis or fatty liver.Diabetes are also well controlled through drug use and diet and daily life.Therefore, when discovering malignant tumors over 2cm in the liver in addition to the patient itself, we are quite surprised.
After better understanding the patient's lifestyle, we finally found the culprit.Turns out, the patient chose the right food but ate it wrong.Regularly eat cereals such as corn, peanuts ... and seeds to improve health but when they are moldy, they still eat because of saving.Even mildly leftover rice she will try to process to be able to eat.This habit remains for a long time, causing aflatoxin toxin in mold to penetrate the body and cause liver cancer. ”
Wang Weidi further reminded that Aflatoxin is a level 1 cancer warned by WHO many times but it is easy to exist around us.Not only in moldy foods but also in items that appear mold.Especially in mold from familiar foods such as cereals, nuts, spices ... or in chopsticks, bamboo/wooden cutting boards.While many families have a habit of saving without throwing away food, this item when mold.
The Dunci nurse belongs to the Clinical Detect Department of Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital (Taiwan, China) added that:“Aflatoxin is 68 times more poisonous and 100 times higher than the potassium cyanide.In addition to cancer, a very small amount can also cause poisoning, death from liver failure, acute renal failure.

The most dangerous is that it works very durable with heat, not decomposed when cooking, steaming, boiling with boiling water.When we remove mold, it is not guaranteed to completely eliminate toxins in food.Aflatoxin and many other toxins may have spread to all food.It is best to throw away, not eat non -mold.With chopsticks or cutting boards, it is not possible to clean completely and safely, especially. ”
