Mycotoxins can cause a variety of adverse health effects in humans including cancer (some are genotoxic – may bind directly to DNA or act indirectly leading to DNA damage), kidney and liver damage, gastrointestinal disturbances, reproductive disorders, or suppression of the immune system.
Mycotoxins are naturally occurring, so their presence in foods cannot be completely avoided.
