THE deadly toxin

Aflatoxin, as the name states it, its a toxin (in other words: a toxic substance). This chemical is "known to cause liver cancer" due to its composition. Anyhow, our body can easily destroy it by using a group of MFO enzymes. Sadly, this enzyme is not perfect because during its process, MFO produces a much grater and dangerous toxin called epoxide: "MFO produces two metabolic products from AF: one that is detoxified and exerted, and one that is activated to iniciate cancer". Unbelievable that a worse toxin is produced by our own body! 

You may be wondering how this conects with nutrition and the WFPB diet, well as reaserchers veiwed this topic, they discovered that a low protein diet would lower the risk of breaking down AF by producing epoxide. Meat contains AF but also increases the MFO's activity, if we adapt our life style by reducing red meat, we will have less AF toxin which will lead to less epoxide which leads to fewer risk of cancer. This is a discovery statement provided by Dr. Campbell: "a high-protein diet increased MFO activity, it also increased both the cancer-causing intermediate".
