Short answer: They could be the cause of your family’s digestive issues, frequent illnesses, depression, anxiety, learning difficulties, and major PREVENTABLE problems plaguing your kids, yourself, and spouse.
If your protective momma alarm bells are going off—stay with me. I’ll give you the truth about these hidden toxins and realistic solutions.
What are Aflatoxins, and why do they harm my family?
Here’s what the FDA-controlled National Institute of Health (the people who allow companies to put toxins and GMOs in your food) says: Aflatoxin is produced by fungal action during food production, harvest, storage, and processing. Dietary exposure to aflatoxins may result in severe toxic and carcinogenic outcomes in humans and animals.
Severe toxic and carcinogenic outcomes! From their own words, and yet, it’s still in your food—unless you buy organic and non-GMO.
Aflatoxins are a category of mycotoxins (the World Health Organization calls them “poisonous substances”) produced by mold and fungi found on corn, peanuts, cottonseed, and boxed cereals.
Now, let’s paint the picture of what a typical breakfast looks like for most American families: boxed cereal that is packed with aflatoxins, sugar, artificial ingredients, food dyes, and dosed in non-organic cow milk that is poisoned by antibiotics, growth hormones, pesticides, and leeching the calcium out of your kids’ bodies.
No nutrition; all toxins. Obviously, our bodies can’t work as they were designed to. Of course, kids and adults in America are suffering from extreme rates of obesity, depression, heart disease, and all sorts of gut-related PREVENTABLE health challenges.
To make it extra clear, here are a few specific things that aflatoxins do in kids' and adults’ bodies:
- May lead to impaired growth, especially in the brain sizes in children.
- Has the ability to suppress immune systems and invite all diseases and illnesses in.
- Will damage digestive systems, making bodies unable to absorb nutrients and proteins.
- Increases cancer risks since they are a mutagenic and carcinogenic.
- May cause fetal growth abnormalities. Do NOT consume during pregnancy, but do take The Pregnancy Bundle to give mom and baby optimal health.
- May cause infertility in men.
BUT IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!
