To jah rawstafari: Comment about Comment on Raw Peanut Butter Recipe

I wanted make a comment about the comment on the Raw Peanut Butter recipe just posted.

I read recently (I think it was the China Study) that the levels of aflatoxins is greater in peanut butter than in peanuts! I don’t think that’s fresh peanut butter, by the way. And that, the reason would be because they pick out the good peanuts to sell and the ‘bad’ peanuts (which would have more aflatoxins) are made into peanut butter. So fresh raw peanut butter would have less aflatoxins anyway, if the peanuts are good, fresh peanuts.

Hmmm, would heating peanut butter get rid of the effects of aflatoxin? I couldn’t find that info on the link you sent. But, it was nice to read that “Medical research indicates that a regular diet including apiaceous vegetables such as carrots, parsnips, celery and parsley, reduces the carcinogenic effects of aflatoxin2.”
