  2. is the aflatoxin in the shell and peanut. I eat roasted peanuts shell and all; is that heallthy.

  3. organic peanut butter is more vulnerable for aflatoxins, its a fact

  4. The peanuts used in Arrowhead Mills peanut butter are grown in New Mexico but how are they stored until actually made into peanut butter. I believe the peanuts used in Trader Joe's organic peanut butter were also grown in New Mexico (Sunland another brand) but that peanut butter was recalled due to the way the peanuts were stored creating toxins and making people sick.

  5. Peanuts are NOT soft shelled nuts! They are NOT NUTS at all! Peanuts are LEGUMES, in the same family as peas.

  6. Yes, I’d rather have a higher risk of hepatocellular cancer than whatever minute risks the pesticide exposure might cause.

  7. Is there a type of soil that has less fungus than others which can be used when peanut farming? Or, can chloraphyll (or other natural antifungal) be used in the soil where peanuts are grown?

    By the time you eat it, it’s usually too late. Peter Pan had a batch of aflatoxin laden peanut butter about 20 years ago, they had to recall thousands of jars. I don’t know if they’re market ever completely recovered. Skippy and Jif were the main benefactors when it happened.
