Clay: Aflatoxins are toxic substances from the fungus Aspergillis flavus. This fungus infects peanuts, and ingestion of aflatoxins from peanuts and cereals (primarily in warm and humid regions) has been associated with liver cancers in humans and multiple cancers in animals. Phyllosilicate clay has been shown to adhere to aflatoxins in laboratory study, and HSACS clay in animal diets may diminish or block exposure to aflatoxins. However, the risks of chronic clay exposure likely do not justify the potential benefit in liver disorders.Natural Standard Monograph, Copyright © 2008 (www.naturalstandard.com).
