In this short informational podcast, I look briefly at the health risks of aflatoxins.

In this episode we dive into research on peanut butter and the controversy around aflatoxins. What the research shows, how the FDA regulates toxins, what growers and farmers do to ensure no aflatoxins in the EU and US. Steps to take with nuts and seeds to ensure mold doesn't grow when you are buying at the store or storing them at your house, as well as some brands to look for with no levels of aflatoxins. I share my overall takeaways after researching, general thoughts on nuts in a plantbased diet as well as the health benefits that outweighs the risks.

In this podcast, I'm going to tell you about the healthiest peanut butter. Peanuts don't typically cause health issues, but they can cause bloating for some people, and it's still important to consume the right peanuts. Peanuts are not nuts—they are legumes that grow in the soil. Conventional peanuts are heavily sprayed with pesticides and fungicides, which seep into the soil and penetrate their thin shells. This is why you should always choose organic peanuts and peanut butter. Glyphosate is also commonly found in peanuts. Glyphosate can act as an antibiotic and is found in many GMO foods. Always read the label on your peanut butter and ensure it doesn't contain hydrogenated oils. Hydrogenated vegetable oils don't actually come from vegetables at all—they're seed oils! Also, avoid peanut butter with added sugar. Monoglycerides are sometimes added to peanut butter. A French study linked this ingredient to cancer and found that it can increase the risk of certain cancers by 46%. Look for peanut butter that only contains peanuts and salt. Organic Valencia peanut butter that contains only Valencia peanuts and sea salt is the best option. Valencia peanuts contain the least amount of aflatoxins. Aflatoxins come from mold and can be very damaging to the liver. Try to have your peanuts with a meal rather than as a snack to avoid spiking insulin.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Justin: Hi, my girlfriend has been having vaginal pain for a few months and was recently diagnosed with Ureaplasma. She thought it was BV or a uti and took your advice for treating these with boric acid and acidophilus which seemed to help but definitely only temporarily. She took tests for bv/uti back negative for both. Doctors want to prescribe antibiotics for Ureaplasma and for some reason believe strongly that natural remedies won't work for this. Do you have experience working with this and what is the rate of success you've seen with natural treatment? What treatment? Do any of your tests cover Ureaplasma?   Aaron: Hello Dr. Cabral! Can you explain some of the behind the scenes for how vitamins and minerals are made? We just read "Fateful Harvest" which explains how toxic waste is repurposed as fertilizer because it's unregulated, and thought about supplements also being unmonitored by the FDA. Where do methylated B vitamins, zinc, magnesium, etc come from? How do you ensure that there isn't also lead, arsenic, cadmium, berylium, etc when you have these companies manufacture your supplements? I appreciate the efforts you take to help us with health and look forward to more info!   Anonymous: I recently found out I'm officially post menopausal but it's interesting I've had no symptoms other than no periods since last august. My GYN said since I'm so focused on avoiding hormone disrupters and endocrine inhibitors that could be part of it. Since having a stroke from birth control in 2004 I've been on a journey to eliminate them from my foods, household goods and personal care and beauty products which was why I was thrilled to see Beautycounter on your resources website page. I love their deodorant, make up, personal care and skincare! Do you have any other recommendations for a 45 year old post menopause for supplements and aging healthily? Thank you dr. Cabral   Suzan: Hi doctor Cabral, I am a big fan of organic peanut butter and eat it 3-4 times a week. However, a friend recently told me that almost 100% of peanut butter contains aflatoxin, a carcinogen produced by mold. This news has me a bit worried, so I wanted to reach out to you to see if you have any insights. You are the health expert that I trust the most, so wanted to run this by you before I freak out :) Thanks so much!

This week we welcome Drs. Dwayne Elmore and Bronson Strickland to school us all on aflatoxin. Aflatoxins are produced by a couple of species of fungi in the genus Aspergillus that can appear in a variety of situations, and when ingested can be harmful to the very birds and mammals we cherish. Our expert guests thoroughly explain aflatoxin, practices we can follow to help prevent it, what to do if we discover molded feed, and then offer some feed solutions that can help. Anyone that feeds corn or uses feed based attractants needs to pay attention and be informed. Respect the science and the game we love. Listen, Learn and Be a Responsible Gamekeeper.         Show Notes:MSU Deer Lab Support the showStay connected with GameKeepers: Instagram: @mossyoakgamekeepers Facebook: @GameKeepers Twitter: @MOGameKeepers YouTube: @MossyOakGameKeepers Website: https://mossyoakgamekeeper.com/ Subscribe to Gamekeepers Magazine: https://bit.ly/GK_Magazine Buy a Single Issue of Gamekeepers Magazine: https://bit.ly/GK_Single_Issue Join our Newsletters: Field Notes - https://bit.ly/GKField_Notes | The Branch - https://bit.ly/the_branch Have a question for us or a podcast idea?

In today's episode, I'm talking about peanut butter and how to choose the right one. A good peanut butter contains a reservoir of CoQ10, resveratrol, and phytosterols that help with cholesterol metabolism, as well as a whole host of vitamins and minerals. When choosing a peanut butter, I would look for 100% Valencia peanuts and only two ingredients - organic peanuts and sea salt. Valencia peanuts are mostly grown in dry climates, making it difficult for Aspergillus to grow, the fungus that produces the dreaded disease and cancer-promoting aflatoxin. -------- Start accumulating health with the Shake the Sugar guide: ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://drwholeness.com/stsguide Ask your lifestyle health questions on social media, tag @drwholeness and use #accumulatehealth. -------- Connect with Dr. Matt online:

This is part 1 of the 2 part conversation with Dr. Ryan Yamka and Nicci Cammack. What started as a perspective and history of the rip-roaring pet industry fiasco about dilated cardiomyopathy naturally transitioned to capturing the pet food sectors disjointed claims of product quality, product integrity, as well as the industry's transactional leadership in pet food manufacturing - If you have listened to any of the previously posted episodes you will hear a continuous theme about pet food & that transparency is essentially non-existent - the constant message presented over multiple episodes focuses on the marketing jargon and promises of integrity that are just empty. It is unfortunate that the information fed to us via SM, bloggers, and some veterinarians are repeatedly based on opinion, therefore, tend to be consistently un-validated. DCM, Dilated cardiomyopathy started as a blog post by a vet and it took off as if cocaine was introduced to its core - it took off on SM with too many words and practically zero evidence of statistical support and corroboration of claims through peer-reviewed studies. What was being presented by, well, almost anyone involved was making it more than it actually was...yes and this does include the FDA - This should make every pet owner think twice about the choices made when purchasing their pets' next meal. Video and data Dr. Yamka presented at VMX regarding DCM - It's a must-watch if you want the nitty-gritty. Ryan Yamka, PhD, MS, MBA, FACN, PAS, Dipl. ACAS is the founder and an independent consultant with Luna Science and Nutrition, and co-Founder of Guardian Pet Food Company. He is board-certified in companion animal nutrition by the American College of Animal Sciences and a fellow with the American College of Nutrition. Yamka calls on his extensive background in pet nutrition, and 20+ years developing, formulating, and launching dog and cat foods as a senior executive with leading pet food companies. Yamka has received the 2020 Rogue Pet Science Pet Industry Disruptor Award, the 2019 Pet Age ICON Award, and the 2011 ASAS Corbin Companion Animal Biology Award. Dr. Yamka writes a series of blogs Debunking Pet Food Myths and Misconceptions for Pet Food Industry and has been featured in numerous podcasts and seminars. Read Dr. Yamka's articles here: Debunking Myths & Misconceptions in Pet Food Nicci Cammack founded NorthPoint Pets & Company to fill a void for pet parents: information and transparency. Nicci understood that, while there are countless pet stores and unending opportunities for buying online, much of the information about pet food and health is incomplete, biased, or misleading. Northpoint Pets & Company holds the belief that each animal is an individual with unique nutritional requirements, and works toward helping animals reach peak health and maintain vitality through old age.

This week Dr. Mike Schutz fills us in about the dangers of Aflatoxins to dairy producers. Conditions are ripe for Aflatoxins due to this summer's drought.

The tumor suppressor p53 exerts important protective functions towards DNA-damaging agents. Its inactivation by allelic deletions or point mutations within the P53 gene as well as complex formation of wildtype p53 with cellular or viral proteins is a common and crucial event in carcinogenesis. Mutations increase the half-life of the p53 protein allowing the immunohistochemical detection and anti-p53 antibody formation. Distinct G to T point mutations in codon 249 leading to a substitution of the basic amino acid arginine by the neutral amino acid serin are responsible for the altered functionality of the mutant gene product and were originally identified in 8 of 16 Chinese and 5 of 10 African HCC patients. Both groups are frequently exposed to mycotoxin contaminations of their food. Today an average P53 gene mutation rate of 25% is assumed for high-aflatoxin B1-exposure regions. This is double the rate observed in low-aflatoxin B1-exposure countries. Although many HCC patients displaying P53 mutations also suffer from HBV infection, which itself can lead to rearrangements of P53 coding regions or induce the synthesis of viral proteins possibly interacting with p53, the specific G to T transversion within codon 249 of the P53 gene seems to directly reflect the extent of aflatoxin B1 exposure.
