What is Moldy Food?
It is often found that people fall ill after consumption of food, that does not look infected or damaged. Actually this is because of the mold that affects food products stealthily, and is accountable for a number of disorders and diseases in the human body. The fact that insidious mold has an aggravated effect on children and elderly warrants that doctors learn more about mycotoxicosis (mold toxicity). Moreover, other toxic food substances like chemicals, oxidized rancid fats, and synthetic vitamins are encouraged to thrive by such molds. The mycotoxins in food are also responsible for a number of chronic and serious diseases, which include fatigue, inflammation, cardiovascular problems, prostate cancer, headaches as well as Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Syndrome (MCS) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
Michael R. Gray, MD of the Arizona State Division of Emergency Medical Services, says, mycotoxicosis has clearly been demonstrated to have been the cause of several major human epidemics, usually involving ingestions of foods prepared with mold infested grains and cereals The storage of food products in unhygienic conditions, including damp spaces, porous or plastic packages, long shipping durations and improper harvesting methods lead to the growth of mold in the food products. Such food borne molds completely deplete food products of all nutritional or nourishing values, and negatively affect the lymphatic system as well as the nervous system of the human body.
