You cut and paste very well. A+ for that. But as for original thought and ownership of knowledge, well....Originally posted by Shawn:
Aflatoxins
Aflatoxins are naturally occurring toxins belonging to the class of Mycotoxins. These are toxic to mammals, produced by fungi and are the products of secondary metabolism.
Aflatoxins occur in many foods and feeds, including peanuts, corn, wheat and milk.
Using HPLC, we analyse to all necessary detection limits to B1, B2, G1, G2, M1 and M2 metabolites of aflatoxins.
Dioxins and PCBs
Dioxins are highly toxic compounds both found naturally in the environment and man-made. The term dioxins generally refers to a family of related chemical compounds that include the chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and chlorinated dibenzofurans. Collectively, these groups of compounds belong to a class of compounds called polychlorinated diaromatic hydrocarbons (PCDH). Birth defects, immunotoxicity, tumor production, and changes in metabolism have all been observed as a result of exposure to PCDH, which has led to restrictions on the levels of the toxins in the food.
Pleae dont come here spouting crap about others because they like to eat or feed their children candy, sugar and sweets--- moderation of all the includiing sodium nitrate.
