"fatty Rubbish And Filth In Flour"
By Margie - "The Arthritis Lady", Thu Dec 8th

"FATTY RUBBISH AND FILTH IN FLOUR"http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/2003/07/25/fatty_rubbish_and_filth_in_flour.htm

Doug Kaufmann is author of the book The Germ that Causes Cancer:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0970341814/qid=1083093890/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-0848672-5510327?v=glance&s=books .In it, he explains the much understated problem of thecontamination of our industrially stored grains by potentmoulds, fungi and their associated mycotoxin discharges and whythey should be strictly avoided.

Most governments only scan for the most dangerous of these, likeaflatoxin: http://lookup.atomica.com/gurunet/query?cid=180217560, thought to be one of the most carcinogenic substances onearth. One study showed that, via a typically grain-predominantdiet, a citizen could expect to ingest from 0.15 g to 0.5 g ofaflatoxin per day.

(Article continued below)

Antibiotics are often made from mycotoxins (viz. penicillin) andare well known for disrupting the delicate gut flora balance :http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/2003/09/18/cultured_cabbage_juice_make_the_best_lactobacteria.htm, creating dysbiosis :http://www.dysbiosis.com/. For many patients with cancer, thefungal problems will be obvious, many of these sufferers with ahistory of antibiotic use prior to being diagnosed with cancer.Dr Joseph Mercola states:

"Mycotoxins cause a wide range of health problems in humans whenwe are exposed to small amounts over an extended period of time,and can even be lethal if taken in large quantities over a shortperiod of time. Given the large number of diseases linked tomycotoxins, and our tendency to eat a large amount of grains inour typical [Western] diet, this is a very concerning problem.As Dr Holland states, grains are sources of carbohydrates, orsugars, and as such, they risk contamination by certain fungi.These fungi produce secondary metabolites, or mycotoxins."

Historically, grains have produced some quite wild reactions,such as in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692, when 13 women and sixmen were executed for witchcraft after some citizens in the townwent 'barking mad', probably due to poisoning by the rye fungus,ergot (St Anthony's Fire). LSD was first synthesized by Swisschemist Albert Hoffman of Sandoz Laboratories in 1938, who wasstudying the hallucinogenic properties of ergot. Hoffman'srevolutionary new kaleidoscopic trip was to skew the perceptionsof an entire generation to come in the swinging sixties andbeyond.

To illustrate the difficulties grains are causing humans, DrDavid Holland elaborates on the top ten mycotoxin foods societyroutinely munches with alacrity with little or no appreciationfor the cumulative downside:

1. Alcoholic beverages

Alcohol is the mycotoxin of the Saccharomyces yeast - brewer'syeast. Other mycotoxins besides alcohol can also be introducedinto these beverages through the use of mold-contaminated grainsand fruits. Producers often use grains that are too contaminatedwith fungi and mycotoxins to be used for table foods, so therisk is higher that you are consuming more than just alcohol inyour beverage (Council for Agricultural Science and technology.Mycotoxins: Economic and Health Risks. Task Force Report Number116. CAST. Ames, IA. Nov 1989). Before you drink for the healthof your heart, consider the other possible risks of drinking.There are safer ways of consuming antioxidants.

2. Corn

Corn is "universally contaminated" with fumonisin and otherfungal toxins such as aflatoxin, zearalenone and ochratoxin(Council for Agricultural Science and Technology. Mycotoxins:Risks in Plant, Animal and Human Systems. Task Force Report No.139. Ames, IA. Jan 2003).

Fumonisin and aflatoxin are known for their cancer-causingeffects, while zearalenone and ochratoxin cause estrogenic :http://website.lineone.net/~mwarhurst/ and kidney-relatedproblems respectively. Just as corn is universally contaminatedwith mycotoxins, our food supply seems to be universallycontaminated with corn -- it's everywhere! A typical chickennugget at a fast food restaurant consists of a nugget ofcorn-fed chicken that is covered by a corn-based batter that issweetened with corn syrup!

3. Wheat

Not only is wheat often contaminated with mycotoxins, but so arethe products made from wheat, like breads, cereals, pasta, etc.Pasta may be the least-"offensive" form of grains since certainwater-soluble mycotoxins, such as deoxynivalenol (vomitoxin),are partially removed and discarded when you toss out theboiling water that you cooked the pasta in.

Unfortunately, traces of the more harmful, heat-stable andfat-soluble mycotoxins, such as aflatoxin, remain in the grain.Regarding breads -it probably doesn't matter if it's organic,inorganic, sprouted, blessed or not - if it came from a grainthat has been stored for months in a silo, it stands the chanceof being contaminated with fungi and mycotoxins.

4. Barley

Similar to other grains that can be damaged by drought, floodsand harvesting and storage processes, barley is equallysusceptible to contamination by mycotoxin-producing fungi.Barley is used in the production of various cereals andalcoholic beverages.

5. Sugar (sugar cane and sugar beets)

Not only are sugar cane and sugar beets often contaminated withfungi and their associated fungi, but they, like the othergrains, fuel the growth of fungi. Fungi need carbohydrates -sugars - to thrive.

6. Sorghum

Sorghum is used in a variety of grain-based products intendedfor both humans and animals. It is also used in the productionof alcoholic beverages.

7. Peanuts

A 1993 study demonstrated 24 different types of fungi thatcolonized the inside of the peanuts used in the report(Costantini, A. Etiology and Prevention of Atherosclerosis.Fungalbionics Series.1998/99). And this was after the exteriorof the peanut was sterilized!

So, when you choose to eat peanuts, not only are you potentiallyeating these molds, but also their mycotoxins. Incidentally, inthe same study the examiners found 23 different fungi on theinside of corn kernels. That said, if you choose to plant yourown garden in an attempt to avoid mycotoxin contamination ofcorn or peanuts, it does you no good if the seed (kernel) usedto plant your garden is already riddled with mold.

8. Rye

The same goes for rye as for wheat and other grains. Inaddition, when we use wheat and rye to make bread, we add twoother products that compound our fungal concerns: sugar andyeast!

9. Cottonseed

Cottonseed is typically found in the oil form (cottonseed oil),but is also used in the grain form for many animal foods. Manystudies show that cottonseed is highly and often contaminatedwith mycotoxins.

10. Hard Cheeses Here's a hint: if you see mold growingthroughout your cheese, no matter what you paid for it, there'sa pretty good chance that there's a mycotoxin not far from themold. It is estimated that each fungus on Earth produces up tothree different mycotoxins.

The total number of mycotoxins known to date numbers in thethousands. On the other hand, some cheeses, such as Goudacheese, are made with yogurt-type cultures, like Lactobacillus,and not fungi (Costantini, 1998/99). These cheeses are a muchhealthier alternative, fungally speaking.

Naturally, with this list coming from a group that opposeseating food that is merely contaminated with fungi, we'dcertainly oppose eating the fungus itself! That would includecommon table mushrooms and so-called myco-protein food products[quorn].

Other foods that could potentially make our list are rice, oatsand beans, given that these too are sources of carbohydrates.And occasionally food inspectors will come across a batch ofmold-contaminated rice or oats. However, all other things beingequal, these crops are generally more resistant to fungalcontamination (CAST 1989).

CONCLUSION

Grains break down into glucose in the body and fuel fungalgrowth. All nutritional regimens for cancer should thereforemake a point of ostracizing these foods from the patient's diet.In the resources below, I give full dietary recommendationsalong with a comprehensive list of potent, natural anti-fungalmaterials that are being widely used against cancers today.
