Could you please elaborate on this?  What is a 'significant vector of
aflatoxin,' and what evidence exists that aflatoxin are 'one of the most
carcinogenic substances known to humans'?  According to the study posted
earlier, there were no increases in cancer.

I have a possible explanation for this.  Perhaps *some* paleo dieters are
allergic to legumes, and, in this case, peanuts may cause cancer.  It's very
similar to whey.  A quality whey protein (processing is of utmost importance
here) will cause cancer in those with dairy allergies.  For those without
dairy allergies, this stuff increases glutathione, fights cancer, helps
immune function, and promotes longevity.  Oddly though, paleo dieters
frequently and eagerly bash whey -- maybe if the took a glance at the
medical literature on whey, they'd change their minds; I know I did.

Thanks,
Justin Hasselman
