A member asked:

I just realized the bottom of the bread i jate was all moldy. i couldn't taste it because i put peanut butter on it. could this make me sick?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Usually not: Although it is not a good idea to eat anything moldy (except perhaps cheese), it is unlikely that you will get sick from eating a slice of moldy bread. Although many molds may produce a mycotoxin, they are not always harmful to people and the amount is usually too low to cause toxic side effects.
