Current research suggests that long-term intake of aflatoxin in small doses has the potential to induce liver cancer, the specific time and intake of the dose, take the person’s own physical fitness and other factors.
Aflatoxin has the effect of inhibiting protein synthesis when it enters the body, and the toxin is mostly found in moldy peanuts and grains. One-time intake of large doses of aflatoxin will often cause poisoning, and may lead to acute hepatitis, liver cell necrosis.
The induction of liver cancer after prolonged ingestion of aflatoxin in small doses may take years to decades, which cannot be fully determined and is related to the ingested dose as well as physical factors. Diseases such as cirrhosis rather than liver cancer may also be induced after ingestion.
Aflatoxin is a serious danger to the human body and should be kept away from to avoid damage to the human body.
