#mycotoxins — Public Fediverse posts

Late last year, a concerning research paper addressed the presence of MANY types of mycotoxins found in and on meat (fungal toxins).

More and more people are avoiding the hazards of eating animals products, so the animal exploitation industry wanted to hit back via big scary headlines it could fund and recycle.

Cue current disproportionate coverage parroting that manufactured plant-based meals were recently found to have mycotoxins in them. Read past the headlines and the journalist, if responsible and not mere A.I. will give the real context: Levels were found to be BELOW THE EU SAFETY THRESHOLD.

It is simply an animal exploitation industry tactic to scare people away from kinder eating, to ensure continuation of grotesque profits in their greasy palms.

To promote balanced critical thinking about presence of mycotoxins across ALL foods, one needs more context, so here is the paper I mentioned. There are many, actually.

I will leave you to weigh up the risk percentages yourself, but to be blunt, plant foods:
- are not corpses which had assholes oozing e-coli, salmonella etc.
-Plants can't contain imperceptible diseased cancer tumours now and then, which industry failed to remove etc:
