This is a ‘me being whiny and ranty and gloomy’ entry, so feel free to skip it.
I was doing some research on mold today and unintentionally came across a bunch of links on mycotoxins in food. I was already aware of this in the back of my brain, with respect to peanuts, but I avoided learning more about it because it sounded like another food related can of worms. Unfortunately, today my sanity defenses were apparently down, and I gave in and read about mycotoxins.
Frankly, the whole thing has me feeling very grumpy. Why? Because you really can’t win with the food research people. Really. No winning. In (yet another) example of this, you have the pesticide=bad people on the one hand saying “Pesticides are carcinogens! Buy Organic!” and on the other hand you have the mold=bad people saying “Mycotoxins are carcinogens! Whatever you do, don’t buy organic!”. Oh yeah, and don’t eat corn or nuts or wheat while you’re at it.
Awww. Common guys! Give us a break.
Grrrr. Argh.
