Bean There User ID: 594839 United States 01/18/2009 08:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They are not nuts anyway. They are a legume. A relative of peas and beans in a pod. “Aflatoxin is considered a cancer-causing substance in humans and animals by both the FDA and world health authorities. What's particularly insidious about aspergillus flavus is that it is found in especially heavy quantities in peanuts and corn and, except in very extreme cases, isn't even visible to the naked eye. Furthermore, no practical way exists to get it out of the foods it's found in. While you can sometimes kill the aspergillus by cooking it, the aflatoxin it created will be left behind. The most common way most people get aflatoxin in their diets is through peanut butter. Peanuts have an especially high naturally-occurring concentration of aspergillus flavus mold. Furthermore, while most peanuts are roasted, the roasting process rarely kills all the mold. The longer peanuts sit around in the store or in your house, the more of the mold will grow back--and again, it generally won't be visible to the naked eye. The longer the mold grows, the more aflatoxin builds up.” The Perils of Peanut Butter [link to www.deanesmay.com] |
Enlilson User ID: 578302 United States 01/18/2009 08:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | On another thread Dancer said that a green mold was going to knock out peanut butter. Organic Peanut Butter is not affected by this it as it is a company failure and the FDA says stop the countries peanut presses. It doesn't matter who I m it's who U R so ChoOse |
Bean There User ID: 594839 United States 01/18/2009 08:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | From the above link : "Here's the most interesting thing about all this: usually your "organic" or "natural" peanut butters will have the highest aflatoxin concentration. The highest concentration of all, though, will typically be the stuff you buy in the store where they take peanuts and grind them into peanut butter for you while you wait. Because while the USDA and FDA has rules for how much aflatoxin is allowed in food before it's shipped to stores, there's no measure of it after it reaches the stores. Those peanuts could have been sitting on the shelves at the story for weeks or months at room temperature, building up mold. It's even worse if the air is mildly moist. Furthermore, if you fresh-grind those nuts into peanut butter, the mold keeps growing in the peanut butter. Once again, it rarely grows to the point where you can see it with the naked eye." |

Gazmik User ID: 487277 United States 01/18/2009 10:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They advised that you not eat peanut butter PRODUCTS! The peanut butter that you buy in the stores, or any cookies, etc. that you make from that peanut butter should be okay. The plant that makes the peanut butter (and peanut paste) in Georgia only sells in bulk. So the problem is with the bulk peanut butter for institutional purposes (nursing homes, etc.) and sold to companies like Kelloggs that used it in their Keebler and other products. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 570208 United States 01/18/2009 10:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thing is, peanut butter has insufficient moisture content to support growth of ANY bacteria, that's why it doesn't go bad sitting out. So WHO THE FUCK are these people getting sick from something that is microbiologically unlikely? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 559254They're probably getting sick from the GM grains used to make the breads and crackers, etc., on which those folk spread the pb. Or it might be that they are cancer patients receiving some bad GM Salmonella typhimurium, and it's being blamed on peanut butter. After all, a good scare is worth its weight in gold to the CorpGov. |
