A member asked:
Giving our child ground hulled sesame seed shakes, 6 tbsp per day for last 4 years for iron. just learning about aflatoxin. did we create a recipe for possible cancer to develop? would it already have happened? is it higher risk now? what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aflatoxin is produced by fungal infection of grains. It is unlikely that the seeds were infected with fungus. Ferrous sulfate as a mineral is as good a source of iron as any vegetable or animal foods. There is no need to do anything. Wish you and your child good health!
