It is not the oldness or newness that causes cancer. Rather a toxin produced by a commonly found fungus or mold which is present in the soil.

This fungus can contaminate man foods not just peanuts. The fungus produces a toxin called aflatoxin which is not always destroyed by cooking and can affect rice, cassava,beans pepper etc. This can affect freshly harvested produce


What can you do about it ? Nothing really this is a job for NAFDAC and SON . They need to test produce regularly andd educate traders about handling and storage.

Countres that import peanuts have an aflatoxiin testing programme

Nigerian Doctor took to his twitter handle to warn people of the danger of eating old Groundnuts. According to his tweet, it causes cancer of the liver.

Read full tweets;

I'm just here to remind you that eating old groundnuts can give you cancer of the liver
#aprokodoctor
Old groundnuts contain aflatoxin that causes liver cancer. This toxin is produced by a fungus that infects old improperly stored groundnuts.
Don't let your village people win.
Throw that ancestral groundnut away.
Groundnuts should be stored in airtight containe
Preferably in the refrigerator with constant electricity for about 3 months.
But as we no dey get light like that...
The moment something feels wrong about it. Discard

Aflatoxin is not present in groundnut alone but all grains and even in some meats but mosyly those that are spoil or decay. This is not only through storage but some of this metabolite are from strain of the grain to planting methods,environmental conditions to germination and also harvesting procedure. Also the toxic metabolite is having required consumption quantity it is only if the quantity is exceeded it can be poisonous. We all have consume aflatoxin one way or the other but just because we do not exceed the limit. The lesson should be to minimize the consumption of spoil grains generally.

This where this medical students got it wrong. Its not a matter of old groundnuts containing aflatoxin. There is also a high probability of freshly harvested groundnuts to be contaminated with afflatoxin. Also its the metabolic products of aflatoxin that can can cause liver cancer. In fact, I do prescribe eating of groundnuts and water melon for my clients challenged with erectile dysfunction. The only care is to ensure that you consume groundnuts free dyscoloration

This caught my attention. Is there any groundnuts free of discolouration?
