Hi guys.. I was wondering if any of you guys ever heard of this. As far as I know it is found in apple juice and other things. But what I need to know is what genes it effects. I know this may seem odd but I need this information for my Genetics class ASAP. I just cannot find any information about it anywhere and I was hoping the amazing nurses can assist me. Thanks guys, even if you dont know anything about it.

I don't actually know anything about it, but googled it because I was curious. It seems that it it's a mycotoxin produced by some different types of moulds, and can cause mutation in the fetus. I don't have time right now to read more, but you might try to google it.

Good luck!

I googled and found this.........hope it is helpful

FUNGAL INFECTION
In her book THE CURE FOR ALL CANCERS, Dr. Hulda Clark, Ph.D., N.D., makes the argument that a combination of chemical solvents such as propyl alcohol and alfatoxin B mold are primary growth factors for cancer. That by eliminating these you can stop the growth of cancer. Foods that you should avoid are beer, peanuts, over ripe fruits, fruit juices and bulk grains (foods from grains such as cereal, flour and corn meal). She also points out the need to kill off fungal overgrowth in the gut. A byproduct of the Penicillim mold is a mycotoxin called patulin, it has been shown that patulin will inhibit the body’s Tumor Necrosis Factor(TNF). TNF is an immune response to a mutant cell and is usually quite adequate to eliminate a cell before it develops into a tumor. The Parathyroid gland will normally make TNF, but not in the presence of patulin. Apple juice has been tested to have 1 PPM of this known carcinogen. If you have or want to avoid cancer, you must produce TNF and to do this you must eliminate toxins and chemical solvents. In another book written by Ronald Gdanski, CANCER - CAUSE, CURE and COVER-UP, he postulates that cancer is the result of an injury to the body in the presence of fungus. The fungus triggers a growth response to this area, which results in cancer as the body tries to repair the injury.. We would refer you to these books and especially the work of Dr. Clark. Candida yeast infections are very toxic, there are 79 known toxins which are released as a byproduct of Candida’s metabolism, this is analogous to eating a poisonous mushroom for lunch each day. These toxins impact the immune system and overwhelm the liver. In addition to the toxins, the metabolic waste is very acidic and this effects your PH.

Nice bit of information there. I know fungacemia is bad news, but wow.

please correct me if i am wrong...but the pasteurization process removes these things i believe...
the molds should only be found in unpast/raw juices.
